Statement of Work

For flight controls and Aircraft handling qualities and dynamics training with in-flight demonstration.

The contractor shall provide the following training for class sizes of one, two, and three students at NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center:

1. A 1.5 hour classroom session for each student covering aircraft longitudinal, lateral, and direction stability and control and handling qualities. The class would also cover flight control system characteristics and design. Provide estimates for class sizes of one, two, and three students.

2. A 1.5 hour flights for each student on a variable stability aircraft capable of demonstrating concepts covered in the class. Provide estimates for class sizes of one, two, and three students.

The flights would be on a contractor-supplied aircraft, capable of demonstrating aircraft dynamic principles such as static and dynamic stability, short period, phugoid and spiral mode, effects of control input delays and control filtering.

Contractor shall provide course materials, instructor(s), and the training aircraft.

A credit card to purchase aircraft fuel shall be provided by NASA AFRC.

The contractor shall provide aircraft maintenance and pilot training records for review as requested by NASA AFRC Flight operations personnel. The contractor supplied aircraft shall be made available for inspection by NASA AFRC Technicians. Record review and aircraft inspections shall be similar to those performed by the USAF Test Pilot School for their training with the contractor aircraft.
