DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

1.1 SCOPE OF WORK. The contractor shall provide all personnel, vehicles, supervision, and other items and services necessary to perform Variable Stability In-Flight Simulator and Test Aircraft (VISTA) support services for the United States Air Force Test Pilot School (USAF TPS) as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) at Edwards AFB (EAFB), CA. The USAF Test Pilot School requirement for maintenance support for the Variable Stability In-Flight Simulator and Test Aircraft (VISTA) is a sole source contract with Calspan Cooperation.

This requirement is for aircraft maintenance support (anticipating approximately 200 flight hours per year, plus or minus 20). This requirement also encompasses the following:

- Aircraft operations

- Curriculum support

- Logistics

- Engineering

- Simulator

- Hot bench

- Test management projects

- Configuration control and modifications

- Quality and safety procedures

- On/off station requirements

This requirement requires the contractor to supply qualified VISTA F-16 pilot(s) and supply program management/contractor management support.

Any travel incurred to support these requirements will be in accordance with the Joint Travel Regulations.

1.2 BACKGROUND. The United States Air Force TPS trains and graduates test pilots, test navigators, and flight test engineers to conduct and manage flight test and evaluation of research, prototype, and production manned and unmanned aerospace vehicles and their systems. The VISTA directly supports three critical phases of the USAF TPS curriculum.

These three phases are Flying Qualities, Systems, and Test Management. Support of these phases is a pinnacle part of the USAF TPS curriculum that coincides with student graduation criteria. The purpose of this Performance Work Statement is to provide qualified, professional, and technical experts on all aspects of VISTA operation to support the USAF TPS. Task Orders will be generated under this contract.

1.2.1 The VISTA, a Test and Evaluation Aircraft owned by the Air Force, is a Block 30/40 F- 16D, Serial Number 86-0048. The aircraft has a dorsal fairing, heavyweight landing gear, an F110-GE-100 engine, and Block 40 avionics. The VISTA aircraft and support equipment are government furnished property (GFP). Modifications to the aircraft include the addition of a production Digital Flight Control System (DFLCS), Airborne Instrumentation System data acquisition system (DAS), VISTA Simulation System (VSS) interface, and variable feel center stick controllers.

NOTE: VISTA uses the VISTA Simulation System and five control surfaces and engine to mimic the feel and response of a simulated aircraft. Control surfaces are operated independently. Direct lift flaps and the horizontal tail can be combined to simulate canards and delta wing aerodynamics. The VSS is integrated with the core avionics. Real-time control is accomplished through the Multi-Function Displays (MFDs) and the Up-Front Controls (UFC).

VISTA’s high performance permits realistic large amplitude maneuvers to test limiters and envelope protection devices. Major components normally located in the front cockpit of an F- 16D (e.g. Jet Fuel Starter (JFS) controls, DFLCS controls, electrical panels, Emergency Power Unit (EPU), autopilot, etc.) have been relocated to the rear cockpit. Items removed from the production aircraft include the 20mm gun, ammo drum, radar warning system, chaff/flare dispenser, nuclear weapon capability, Advance Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM) capability, and Expanded Envelope Gun Sight Capability. A Global Positioning System receiver and Situational Awareness Data Link radio have been integrated into VISTA. The rear cockpit pilot is the safety pilot (SP). The SP sets up the VSS computer, performs routine F-16 flight procedures, monitors the safety of the evaluations and at any time, can disengage the VSS and take control of the aircraft. Included in the basic VISTA system are the F-16 Mode and Emergency (EMER) mode. The F-16 Mode allows the Evaluation Pilot (EP) to fly the VISTA aircraft as an F-16 via the front cockpit side stick. The SP or EP can deselect the F-16 Mode at any time by pushing any of the safety trip buttons. The EMER mode allows the EP to take control of the VISTA in the event of an emergency such as SP incapacitation. Either the SP or EP can also deselect the EMER mode.
