PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 ORGANIZATION

1.1.1 Identification. Air Mobility Command (AMC)/A3. Headquarters AMC/A3 is located at Scott Air Force Base (SAFB), Illinois.

1.1.2 Mission. AMC/A3 responsibilities are to organize, train and equip air mobility forces to meet global mobility mission.

1.2 BACKGROUND. Air Force Instruction (AFI) 11‑202, Vol. 3, Instrument Flight Rules, requires Air Force (AF) aircraft to “…vertically clear all obstacles along the planned route of flight with an engine out.” Special Departure Procedures (SDPs) are aircraft and location specific contingency procedures and routings that provide aircraft one-engine out departure guidance with verifiable terrain clearance at specified gross weights and takeoff conditions. SDPs, a standard for air carriers, are essential to the safety of both departing aircraft and the surrounding communities to ensure obstacle clearance in the event of an engine failure and/or similar loss of aircraft performance. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Advisory Circular 120-91 Airport Obstacle Analysis covers many aspects of one engine inoperative departure planning.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) Standard Computerized Aircraft Performance (SCAP) standard has become an airline industry proven method for incorporating aircraft performance into computerized calculations. The AF has successfully completed a “proof of concept” investigation into integration of SCAP modules with an SDP path designer tool. This demonstrated the capability to increase Maximum Take-Off Weight (MTOW) while, simultaneously, maintaining safety margins.

1.3 OBJECTIVE. Contractor shall provide all labor, management, analysis, planning programming, administration, training, review, transportation and incidentals necessary for one-engine inoperative departure data in order to maximize aircraft operational weights while providing safe escape routings for specified Mission Design Series (MDS) aircraft in accordance with (IAW) this Performance Work Statement (PWS). SDP data shall be delivered to the Government via internet access, email or other avenues for direct-to-aircraft data delivery, for retrieval of data for a specified list of airports, runways, aircraft and engine type and takeoff flap settings in order to enhance the Air Force’s ability to safely and effectively conduct operations from these fields.

1.4 SCOPE OF WORK. In the performance of this PWS, the contractor shall design and provide a web-based SDP takeoff performance system for the defined MDS based on each aircraft manufacturer’s performance algorithm, as well as real time derived data to make takeoff calculations. Aircraft requiring SDP subscriptions include C-5A/B/C, C-5M, KC-10, C-17, KC-135, C-130H, C-37A, C-21A, RC-26B and E-3. The government may add new MDS aircraft to the contract list.

1.4.1 On-board Performance Tool (OPT).(OPTIONAL) (The requirement under this task is optional for the base and all follow on years, and shall be executed at the discretion of the Government. If the Government determines that this capability is required, the Government will provide the Contractor with a request for proposal. Upon acceptance of a valid Contractor proposal, the Government will process a modification to the contract. If the Government deems this requirement necessary, the Contractor will be given at least 30 days before a funding modification is executed.)

The vendor shall have a program in place to provide a self-dispatching capability through fast and precise calculations. The program shall provide flight crews a standalone, self-contained ability to calculate the takeoff analysis, landing analysis and weight and balance information integrated for use in an electronic flight bag (EFB) while disconnected from the internet. This capability must be tailored to each specific MDS defined in the PWS utilizing a combination of pre-loaded and real time information. These derived calculations correct for pressure variation, runway conditions, engine bleeds and Minimum Equipment List (MEL) items.

1.5 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

1.5.1 Initial SDP Start-up Services. (OPTIONAL) (The requirement under this task is optional for the base and all follow on years, and shall be executed at the discretion of the Government. If the Government determines that this capability is required, the Government will provide the Contractor with a request for proposal. Upon acceptance of a valid Contractor proposal, the Government will process a modification to the contract. If the Government deems this requirement necessary, the Contractor will be given at least 30 days before a funding modification is executed.)

The vendor shall have a program in place to add new MDS aircraft when required. The program shall provide an initial airport analysis and SDP start-up service for the new MDS aircraft model. This service includes integration of the aircraft performance manual, running a SCAP module in multiple configurations against published climb gradients, obstacle, terrain and environmental data (initial airport analysis) for a government approved list of airports (initial airport surveillance list), design of engine-out graphic procedures and training on use of SDP service for each MDS. The contractor shall use data based on a Government approved Airplane Flight Manual (AFM), Technical Order (TO), or current versions of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) supplied and updated by the Government for each MDS. The contractor shall also identify environmental data, which includes runway surface condition. The runway surface conditions shall include wet (when available) and standard dry performance data, pressure corrections and wind corrections (where applicable) as determined by specific Government MDS Point of Contacts (POCs). The contractor shall deliver these services via a secure (username/password) web portal or other aircraft specific data delivery methods as specified in paragraph 1.5.10 of this PWS.

1.5.2 Airfield Watch List. The Government, via the MDS POC, will identify the most frequented airfields for each MDS up to 100. As mission requirements evolve, the MDS POC will update the list of airfields no less than annually. These airfields will be surveyed by the contractor IAW paragraph 1.5.9.

1.5.3 Sources of Obstacle and Terrain Data. For those airfields on the Airfield Watch List, the Contractor shall analyze the most current, most accurate civil, international, and military data and use, as a minimum the following aeronautical, obstacle and terrain data sources:

Obstruction or Obstacle Data

· Digital Vertical Obstruction File (DVOF)

· National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) data for non-Department of Defense (DoD) airfields

· FAA Daily Digital Obstacle File (DDOF)

· Airport Local Survey Files

· Host nation Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP)

· Close-in obstacles as published in DoD Flight Information Publication (FLIP) Low Volume Instrument Approach Procedures

· Manually edited local obstacle data files (loc.obs.txt files)

· Shuttle RADAR Topography Missions (SRTM)

The Contractor may use additional data sources with Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) approval.

1.5.4 Screen Height and Obstacle Clearance Application Rules. The Contractor shall design SDPs consistent with approved AFM or TO requirements for each aircraft. Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) 121.189 requires that air transport category aircraft be at a height of 35 feet by the end of the takeoff surface. If the flight manual is based on a commercial AFM, then only a 35-foot screen height is possible. If the flight manual is a MIL -1-1 manual, the screen height may be zero feet high. Using the AFM or TO, the contractor shall provide both the screen heights and a net takeoff flight path along the intended route of flight that vertically clears all obstacles IAW the table below (table values represent screen height/required obstacle clearance) unless a higher screen height or obstacle clearance value is requested by the MDS POC or COR. Additionally, HQ AMC POC consolidates local obstacle data files (loc.obs.txt) which are required to be included in the SDP procedure for military airfields. HQ AMC has determined standard screen and obstacle clearance heights as directed in this table.

Nation*

* HQ Air Force Flight Standards Agency (AFFSA) establishes the guidelines for this program and is the final approval authority. There are three classifications of host nation Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS) programs. They are Special Accredited, Accredited, and Non-Accredited.

** HQ AMC-provided local obstacle data must be used in conjunction with commercial data.

1.5.4.1 Contractor shall support multiple screen height and obstacle clearance policies for each MDS.

1.5.4.2 Contractor shall make provision to apply obstacle position and height accuracies tolerances within SDP calculations. At certain locations, with prior HQ AMC COR approval via phone or email, obstacle accuracies may be ignored and not included in the SDP calculations. Any approved obstacle accuracy exception shall be reported in the SDP data supplied.

1.5.5 SDP Declarations. Contractor shall ensure that each SDP identifies the date, version of data sources and Notice to Airman (NOTAMS) used, as well as describing any design waivers invoked.

1.5.6 SDP Design Approach. Contractor will ensure concurrence with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards. Contractor shall provide the HQ AMC POC with its SDP design approach and SDP design process to be followed.

1.5.6.1 IAW AC 120-91, Contractor shall identify its methodology for obstacle analysis for each SDP. Contractor shall provide the HQ AMC COR with objective evidence of compliance to the selected methodology, either area analysis method or flight track analysis, for obstacle analysis on the SDP. For example, the contractor may choose to use an area analysis for the initial portion of the takeoff analysis, followed by a flight track analysis, and then another area analysis.

1.5.6.2 Contractor shall consider an SDP route coinciding with the Standard Instrument Departure (SID) and/or Obstacle Departure Procedure (ODP) when a SID and/or ODP exist for the runway. The contractor shall keep the SDP and SID/ODP identical for as far as possible in order to reduce pilot analysis of divergent procedures. Additionally, SDP routing shall optimize MTOW under the constraints of obstacle clearance/avoidance and aircraft performance capability.

1.5.6.3 The contractor shall provide all SDPs in a graphical/pictorial or tabular data format and ensure SDPs provide aircraft weight or provide calculated performance data.

1.5.6.4 The contractor shall ensure for turning procedures, radial/Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) and/or latitude/longitude shall be provided to assist pilots and aircraft guidance systems.

1.5.6.5 The contractor shall ensure obstruction clearances to the Minimum Safe Altitude (MSA) or Minimum Vectoring Altitude (MVA) and ensure terrain features are depicted on all general procedures.
