1.1. CLARITY
1.1.1. Covered Aircraft. This PWS covers the USAF C-32A, C-40B and C-40C fleet aircraft, hereafter referred to as “Covered Aircraft “. Additionally, other Boeing similar commercial model aircraft operated or managed by the Government may obtain support and services through this contract on a limited over and above basis when approved by the PCO.
1.1.2. Federal regulations. All references to the Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) in this PWS shall be by reference to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and abbreviated with the acronym “CFR”. When the requirements of this PWS exceed the minimum requirements of the CFR, this PWS shall take precedence.
1.1.3. Air Force Publications. Where Air Force Instructions (AFIs) are called out, it includes Air Force Command Supplements whether individually referenced or not. Air Mobility Command (AMC), as the lead command for Covered Aircraft in this PWS, issues supplements which apply to all fleet aircraft regardless of ownership/assignment.
1.2. BACKGROUND AND SCOPE
1.2.1. Covered Aircraft Background. The C-32 and C-40 were originally designed, manufactured and certified as FAA Transport Aircraft. They were missionized for specific Air Force missions. This moved them from pure FAA Civil Use Aircraft to a hybrid of Military and Civil certification processes as Military Commercial Derivative Aircraft (MCDA) per FAA Order 8130.2, Air Worthiness Certification of Aircraft and Related Products, and FAA Order 8110.101, Type Certification for Military Commercial Derivative Aircraft.
1.2.2. FAA application to Covered Aircraft. The USAF C-32A and the C-40B and C-40C fleets are maintained In Accordance With (IAW) Air Force Policy Directive (AFPD) 21-1, and Air Force Instruction (AFI) 21-101 which require these aircraft to continue to maintain and comply with the applicable military standards (which encompasses applicable civil requirements). And so, these FAA Transport Type Certified aircraft are maintained in a manner consistent with Title 14, CFR Part 121 using a combination of government and industry maintenance systems and procedures as described herein. Thus in order to ensure continued maintenance in a manner consistent with Title 14, CFR Part 121, the Contractor shall hold a current CFR Part 121 certificate. FAA Type Certification (TC) requirements are also maintained IAW AFPD 62-6 and AFI 62-601 when modifying these aircraft to maintain safety, airworthiness and configuration control.
1.2.3. C-32A aircraft. The C-32A is a Boeing 757-200 aircraft and the fleet consists of four (4) aircraft powered by twin Pratt & Whitney 2040 engines. They are assigned to the AMC and are located at Joint Base (JB) Andrews MD. The C-32A mission is to provide safe, modern and reliable transportation for the President of the United States, Vice President of the United States, Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, and other high-ranking U.S. and foreign government officials. The projected flying hours for the C-32A fleet is 900 hours per aircraft per year and not anticipated to exceed 1200 flight hours/per aircraft, per year or 1000 flight cycles/year.
APP A - 3
1.2.4. C-40B and C-40C aircraft. The C-40B and C-40C are Boeing 737-700 Increased Gross Weight (IGW) aircraft and consists of four (4) C-40Bs and seven (7) C- 40Cs powered by twin General Electric (GE) CFM 56-7B27 turbofan engines.
