INTRODUCTION

The United States Government (USG) has a requirement for eleven (11) United States Air Force (USAF) Pilot Candidates to receive Cessna 172 (C-172) or other similar Technologically Advanced Single Engine Land Aircraft, aircrew initial training to prepare each student to obtain a Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) Private Pilot Certificate (Airplane) with an FAA Instrument Pilot Endorsement (Airplane). All training shall be conducted in a C-172 or other similar Technologically Advanced Aircraft for a Single-Engine Land Rating. Training will be conducted with Garmin 1000 and or Garmin 530/430 Avionics System with Electronic Primary Flight Display (PFD) and an electronic Multi-function Display (MFD). The Contractor shall have a Designated Pilot Examiner on staff.

BACKGROUND

USAF student pilots programmed for Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT) are enrolled in Initial Flight Training (IFT) prior to attending UPT. IFT is a prerequisite program to introduce Active Duty, Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve Officers, who are candidates for Undergraduate Pilot Training, to light aircraft flight. All 11 students have completed IFT at L3-Harris, Pueblo, Colorado. Each student will enter training with approximately 18 hours of Single Engine Land time in a Diamond DA20 General Aviation aircraft. All flight time is day VFR dual time with the exception of approximately 0.5 hours of solo time.

Some students may not have flown for up ~120 days. Current DoD organic training venues do not possess sufficient capacity to provide this requested “top off” level of training.

SCOPE OF WORK

Provide Cessna 172 or other similar Technologically Advanced Aircraft, Initial Qualification training and Instrument Endorsement to eleven (11) USAF pilot candidates. Training shall be delivered through one (1) class. This class is anticipated to be one hundred twenty (120) training days in duration, with the class being conducted between 6 Jul 2020 and 4 Dec 2020 (~120 calendar days and students must complete training by 4 Dec 20). Training shall consist of academic to include written examinations, and flight training. The training site must be located within 35 miles of Randolph AFB, Texas. Contractor shall have a Designated Pilot Examiner on staff. Contractor shall provide training that meets FAA Private Pilot requirements (Airplane) as outlined in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) part 61; including Subpart E, Sections 61.102 thru 61.120. Each student shall be provided an opportunity to successfully pass the Private Pilot Practical with a designated FAA examiner and if successful shall be issued a FAA Private Pilot Certificate (Airplane). Contractor shall provide additional C-172 training required for each student to meet FAA Instrument Endorsement requirements (Airplane) as outlined in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) part 61; including Subpart B, Sections 61.65. Each student shall be provided an opportunity to successfully pass the Instrument Endorsement Practical with a designated FAA examiner and if successful shall be issued a FAA Private Pilot Instrument Endorsement (Airplane). Any Flight School accredited by the FAA as a Part 141 Flight School may use Part 141 minimums as permitted to satisfy FAA Private Pilot Certificate (Airplane) and FAA Private Pilot Instrument Endorsement (Airplane) requirements. Part 141 accredited Flight Schools may use a flight simulator or flight training device as outlined under Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) part 61; including Subpart B, Parts 61.64 and 61.65.

DELIVERABLES

Contractor shall provide the COR and Program Manager a copy of the syllabus of training, that includes information on academics, flight training, and training device training.

1. Academics

1.1. Private Pilot Ground School and Examination

1.2. Instrument Ground School and Examination

2. Flight Training

2.1. FAA Private Pilot Certificate (Airplane); Each students will be limited to 37 hours Flight Time (including FAA Private Pilot Practical) to obtain the FAA Private Pilot Certificate (Airplane). The USG anticipates flight training hours will be delivered to meet the Aeronautical Experience required and to build upon the previous 18 hours of SEL time. The Contractor may use up to thirty (37) hours allocated above as needed to meet the requirements outlined in FAR part 61, but each student must successfully complete their respective Practical by the 37-hour limit. This training can be conducted with aircraft configured with Garmin 1000 or Garmin 530/430.

2.2 FAA Private Pilot Instrument Endorsement

(Airplane); USG seeks a Part 141 School in an effort to avoid excessive cross-country category time. Students shall be limited to fifty (50) hours Fight Time (including FAA Private Pilot Instrument Endorsement Practical) to obtain the FAA Private Pilot Instrument Endorsement (Airplane). Since the Contractor will control the training required to meet the FAA Private Pilot Certificate (Airplane), the Contractor can use the 50 hours as needed to meet the requirements outlined in FAR part 61.65, but each student must successfully complete their respective Practical by the 50 hour limit. Instrument training shall be conducted in a Garmin 1000 configured aircraft.

2.3. Students shall be limited to ten (10) hours use of aviation training devices in furtherance of obtaining an FAA Private Pilot Instrument Endorsement (Airplane). If desired, a maximum of 10 hours of instrument time received in an aviation training device may be credited for the instrument time requirements as outlined in FAR part 61.65; USG expects that no more than 10 hours are required/authorized.

3. Training Period. Class start and end dates are as follows:

3.1. 6 Jul 20 – 4 Dec 20 (all students must be finished with training no later than 4 Dec 20 because the students have scheduled follow on training)
