1 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES.

1.1 BACKGROUND.

The US Marshals Service (USMS) utilizes uniquely modified B-737-400 aircraft to execute Government Public Aircraft transport missions under Justice Prisoner and Alien Transport System (JPATS) division authority. In order to provide realistic training, the USMS has identified FAA Certified Aircraft Simulator #592 as a sole training device that closely meets USMS fleet configuration. Although Alaska Airlines is owner of this device, only K&S Aviation Services INC. is the only 14 CFR Federal Aviation Regulation Part 142 approved training course provider that is approved to conduct Pilot-in-Command (PIC) Initial, Recurrent and Ground School Academic Training on this device and will be referred as Training Center Provider (TCP) throughout this SOW.

1.2 SCOPE.

The TCP shall provide PIC Initial, Requalification, Recurrent and Ground School Academic and Flight Training, and a variety of technical courses for USMS Pilots operating B737-400 series aircraft. The required training includes the following: Initial PIC FAA type rating, Requalification PIC (USMS Pilots who hold FAA B737 Type Rating with no recent flight experience within past two to five years), and Recurrent PIC Training. The courses covered under this contract will meet the requirements for FAA formal flight training. FAA formal flight training consists of training courses with agency level course numbers that will be officially recorded in the USMS employee’s personnel records. The individual USMS pilot is responsible for FAA prerequisites. A class schedule and syllabus in the TCP’s format will be provided to each student prior to the beginning of class. All training courses shall include handouts, access to any pertinent computer-based libraries, and on-line computer-based training as deemed appropriate by the TCP for training purposes. During Full Flight Simulator (FFS) training, pilots shall split the flying time between the left and right seat. This “Crew Concept” is further detailed as: when one pilot is receiving pilot-in-command (PIC) training in a simulator/training device, the other pilot shall receive second-in-command (SIC) training. When one pilot is receiving PIC training in the left seat of an airplane flight deck the other pilot shall receive observer time (flight deck seating permitted). No additional charge shall be made for the presence of, or instruction provided to, such additional USMS pilot/ Government Quality Assurance Evaluator (QAE) pilot.

1.3 SPECIFIC SUPPORT SERVICES.

Flight Training for all B737-400 Series Aircraft-configuration requirement: Current USMS aircraft configuration includes EFIS instrument stack with EADI and EHSI/MAP dual displays, dual FMCs (10.7 or later), dual GPS & INS certified for RNP-AR instrument approach procedures, CFM356-3C-1 engines, RD-4B radar, EGPWS with low level wind shear detection, and TCAS II v7.0 software.

1.3.1 Ground School PIC Training. The TCP shall conduct B737-400 Ground School (GS) PIC Training to fulfill FAA PIC Initial and PIC Recurrent criteria to allow trainee progression to TCP simulator training program phase. B737-400 “Classic” knowledge mastery is primacy in ground school conduct. A minimum of two weeks (ten training days [TD] or 80hrs, not including weekends) to complete Initial Type Rating requirements. Requalification ground school will be afforded five TDs (total of 48hrs, not including weekends) to complete requirements. USMS REQUAL Pilots who hold a B737 Classic Type Rating but have not kept current with two to five year period will be afforded a minimum of 16hrs and afforded up to 48hrs as deemed necessary by USMS JPATS AVN Chief, or Flight Standards & Training Officer (STO). Recurrent training requirements consist of two TDs (16hrs). Pilot guides will also be provided that meet or exceed Buhler Cockpit Companion and FMS User Manual U10.8A software specification.

1.3.2 Initial PIC Type Rating Training. The TCP shall conduct B737-400 Initial PIC Type Rating Training. The TCP shall provide the FFS training necessary to enable JPATS’ pilot to pass the practical test to Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) standards for a type rating, without any limitations, in accordance with applicable (14 CFR) Part 61 requirements, the TCP’s FAA-approved training program, and the terms and conditions provided herein. All flight simulation training and flight training shall conform to the principle of “crew concept.” The TCP will collaborate with the QAE to identify, sequence, and develop simulator profiles for initial training courses. Types of training shall include the following categories:

A. Entire Initial pilot qualification ground training under 1.3.1 and;

B. Initial pilot qualification using full flight simulator training including a 100% practical test for students who possess the necessary prerequisites required by the TCP’s approved training program At the Government’s discretion, a USMS QAE examiner pilot may observe the FAA Type Check.

1.3.3 Requalification PIC Training. The TCP shall conduct B737-400 Requal Pilot Training. All flight training modules will be flown with TCP Check Airman who can conduct a progressive evaluation throughout all simulator/flight sessions. The TCP shall provide the ground school, full flight simulator and to enable the JPATS’ pilot to pass the pilot-in-command (PIC) proficiency check to ATP standards, in accordance with the applicable (14 CFR) Part 61.58(d) (1), requirements, the TCP’s FAA-approved training program, and the terms and conditions provided herein. Flight Simulation Training Device and flight training shall conform to the principle of “Crew Concept.” The TCP will collaborate with the QAE to identify, sequence, and refine simulator profiles for JPATS Requal training courses. Types of training shall include the following categories:

An open service agreement is set forth herein to administer Advanced Technical Training modules for the purpose in obtaining master of additional systems or operations not afforded by TCP FAA Approved Training Courses or FSTD. The TCP will collaborate with the USMS QAE to identify, sequence, and develop specific FFS/FTD profiles for JPATS advanced technical training courses. Module examples include any difference training between TCP courseware and JPATS specific system as described under 1.3 aircraft configuration requirement. Another is pilot proficiency for RNP-AP instrument approach procedures and failure modes.

1.3.6 Supplementary Simulator Training Hours. The Contracting Officer must authorize simulator hours in addition to those specified under Pilot Qualification Training or for any other mission requirement approved by the USMS QAE branch. Supplementary Simulator Training will only be performed when requested by the Government and vendors will be able to submit separate invoices for those services. Additional simulator hours will be authorized through a contract modification and funded at the time of the request.

1.3.7 Simulator Position Fill-Ins. When the Government is unable to send two pilots to any portion of simulator training, the TCP will supply an instructor or a qualified Second-In-Command (SIC) pilot to act as the second pilot. The TCP instructor will participate in all required simulator training.
