1.22.2 Extra Day of Full Operations

When notified by the Government at least 7 days in advance, the contractor shall provide the necessary personnel resources for full operational support of an extra day of full operations beyond that covered in Tables 1-4 and 1-5 of the PWS. The specifics of the request for support

(i.e. type and number of aircraft, tow pilots, etc.) shall normally come from the Weekly

Scheduling Meeting. An Over and Above cost proposal to the PCO for the cost of this support shall be provided. This proposal shall be submitted by the contractor to the PCO for approval in time to schedule necessary personnel and accomplish the required support effort.

1.22.3 Off-Station Recovery or Repair

DRAFT

The Contractor shall recover any glider that lands off station within 100 miles. The Contractor shall repair any motorized aircraft that breaks off station. In the event the aircraft is beyond 100 miles from the Academy, it shall be considered O&A.

1.22.3.1 Off-Station Recovery – Gliders

Applicable portions of AFI 21-101, Attachment 7, MAINTENANCE RECOVERY TEAM

(MRT) TASKING CHECKLIST, shall be utilized in establishing off base recovery requirements for gliders and powered aircraft.

When a glider is forced to land off station (within 100 nautical miles) due to mechanical failure or deteriorating weather conditions, the contractor shall assemble a recovery crew, arrange for any required tools, the proper trailer, and transportation to the recovery location. Once at the location, maintenance recovery personnel shall remove the wings, properly stow the wings and fuselage in the trailer, and transport the glider to the home station. In the event the aircraft is located more than 100 nautical miles from the Academy, it shall be recovered under the Over &

Above contract line item. For the purposes of this PWS, deteriorating weather conditions are conditions that preclude the safe operation of the aircraft, e.g. thunderstorms, or prevent its return to the launch location, e.g. winds out of limits at the field. Recovery of gliders that land out because of loss of lift due to normal weather events or aircrew failure to maintain sufficient glide distance to make it to the launch location will be done by AF personnel.

1.22.3.2 Off-Station Recovery – Motorized Aircraft

If a motorized aircraft makes an emergency or precautionary landing off station, the contractor shall travel to the scene, evaluate the repair and recovery options, and recommend the proper method of recovery. The preferred alternative is if the aircraft landed at an airport and can be repaired on location and flown to the home station. If this is not an option, the contractor shall arrange for a recovery team, vehicles, slings, lifting device, tools, special equipment, and the highway clearances necessary to transport the aircraft to home station and offload it. In the event the aircraft is located more than 100 nautical miles from the Academy, it shall be recovered or repaired under the Over & Above contract line item.

1.23 Special Events and Static Displays

Static displays for special events such as open houses, graduation and air shows, occurring approximately 20 times per year will be coordinated by the 306 FTG through the contractor at least 15 days in advance of their occurrence. This coordination usually will happen during the monthly and weekly scheduling meetings. Prior to in-house scheduled events, the contractor shall coordinate with the Government to identify the aircraft that shall be participating. These aircraft shall be cleaned to insure they are presentable both prior to the event/display and at the conclusion of each day of the event/display.

NOTE: Events average one day in duration and will not interfere with normal flying activities.

1.24 Deployments

Pre-deployment/cross country planning shall always address projected inspection requirements to ensure minimum impact on TDY operations. This planning shall be based on the Government providing 30 days’ notice in advance of the deployment, and shall include scheduling of transportation and manpower, as well as pre-positioning required support equipment, assets, and

DRAFT

supplies at the deployment location. A mission support kit shall be prepared by the contractor to ensure parts needed during deployment are available. Also see Cross Country and Deployment

Kits at PWS Paragraph 1.13.

For planning purposes, the contractor shall utilize the following annual historical data for determining number of personnel, equipment, transportation, and lodging requirements necessary to support deployments the following deployments averaging ten to fifteen days each:

Six (6) deployments for the Flying Team

Four (4) deployments for UV-18B parachuting team

Eight (8) deployments for the 94 FTS (includes 4 soaring Glider Aerobatic Team and 4

Glider Cross-Country Soaring Team deployments).

The assembly of glider aircraft at the deployment location(s) shall be conducted solely by

Government personnel. After deployment and return to home station, maintenance personnel shall reassemble all aircraft and, as a minimum, insure necessary repairs are affected and open discrepancies in the aircraft forms are cleared prior to releasing the aircraft for flight. After reassembly of the gliders at home station, glider trailers shall be returned to their designated locations. Maintenance personnel shall disassemble glider aircraft and place them in their deployment trailer prior to each deployment.

1.25 OEM Agreements

The Contractor shall establish and maintain technical support agreements or appropriate working relationship with OEMs or designated representatives necessary to…
