(1) EUROCONTROL. Eurocontrol applies where a carrier is required to transit countries with an ICAO prefix of "E" or "L" (i.e., EDAF, LIRA), with the exception of

EGYP in the Falkland Islands. Eurocontrol will be paid on live miles only. On one way passenger missions when Eurocontrol is applicable to both the live and empty segment, Eurocontrol will be paid on the live miles plus an additional 85 percent of those miles (i.e., 6,000 mile one way passenger mission would be paid 1.6 percent on

6,000 miles + 5,100 miles). On one way cargo missions when Eurocontrol is applicable to both the live and empty segment, Eurocontrol will be paid on the live miles plus an additional 30 percent of those miles (i.e., 6,000 mile one way cargo mission would be paid 2.3 percent on 6,000 miles + 1,800 miles). Combi Carriers will be paid the applicable rate plus a surcharge of 1.6 percent.

(2) FERRY. Ferry will be paid based on standard ACL or lesser amount. However, no ferry miles will be paid if actual flown ferry miles (combines total of ferry/backhaul) are less than 30 miles.

(a) Positioning and depositioning ferry: Positioning and depositioning ferry shall be included with the offer and negotiated at time of award. Paid depositioning mileage will not exceed the mileage required to return the aircraft to its originating station.

(b) “Front/backhaul ferry” on one-way passenger and cargo missions will be applied to empty backhaul miles in addition to, and in the same manner as, positioning/depositioning ferry identified in subparagraph (a) above.

(3) INCREMENTAL PASSENGER MOVEMENT. The incremental passenger rate applies when the number of additional passengers above the standard ACL is identified for an exercise, SAAM or contingency. The incremental passenger movement rate is $319 for each additional passenger over the standard ACL. In cases when the per seat cost is lower than USTRANSCOM’s incremental passenger rate, USTRANSCOM will pay the lesser amount.

(4) INCREMENTAL CARGO MOVEMENT. The incremental cargo rate applies when the ton per mile above the standard ACL is identified for an exercise, SAAM or contingency. The incremental cargo rate is $123 for each addition ton over the standard ACL. In cases when the per ton cost is lower than USTRANSCOM’s incremental cargo rate, USTRANSCOM will pay the lesser amount.

(5) TRIP CANCELLATION. A cancellation charge will be paid on missions canceled with notification given within the time frames noted below (see Performance Work

Statement (PWS), Trip Cancellation). Times are all prior to scheduled departure.

Reference to days means a continuous 24-hour period. All “days” refers to “calendar days.” The cancellation charge will be applied to the live and ferry segment only (stop charges, Eurocontrol surcharge or any other additional charges will not be included).

The charges are as follows:

(6) DEMURRAGE. Demurrage, when approved by the CO, will be paid on completed cargo missions when departure is delayed over 3 hours beyond scheduled block time and the delay is Government controllable. Approval of requests will be based on the

Government’s validation of the actual mission details submitted by the Contractor and circumstances as documented in GDSS and COR reports. Demurrage is calculated by subtracting three (3) hours from the total number of hours (rounded to the nearest hour) the aircraft is delayed. These hours are then multiplied by the price set forth in the Rates and Rules based on aircraft type. Payment of delays of fractions of an hour will be calculated using normal rounding procedures, i.e., 29 minutes or less will be dropped, 30 minutes or more will be rounded to the next whole hour. Demurrage charges are as follows:

Aircraft Type ACL Demurrage

B767-200F 48 $1,649

B767-300F 61 $2,095

MD11 86 $3,518

B747-400/400ER 100 $4,091

B777F 100 $4,091

B747-8F 115 $4,705

B. AIRCRAFT STANDARDS. The rate set forth in paragraph A shall be applied to the following standard aircraft loads. When an aircraft is offered for the fixed buy missions with fewer seats than the standard ACL, we will only pay for the actual number of seats.

C. FUEL ADJUSTMENTS.

(1) The carrier shall be compensated for variance in fuel prices incurred on

USTRANSCOM contracted full planeload missions bought at the USTRANSCOM rate. COMPENSATION WILL NOT BE MADE TO THE PRIME OR

SUBSERVICING CARRIER FOR SUBSTITUE SERVICE OR SUBCONTRACTED

MILES. Adjustments will be made upward or downward if the price of fuel varies by more than one cent per gallon from the pegged price (as stated in the USTRANSCOM

Uniform Negotiated Rates and Rules) used in establishing the USTRANSCOM rates.

(2) The solicitation/contract addresses the current fuel adjustment procedures (see PWS, Appendix 3B Report Procedures).

D. COMPUTATION OF PASSENGER SEAT-MILES AND CARGO TON-MILES

FOR PAY PURPOSES.

Long Range Service: Computation of miles and stop charges shall be computed as follows:

(1) If a live route segment is less than 4,000 miles, mileage shall be computed nonstop from origin to destination of that segment.

(2) When a live route segment is 4,000 miles or more the live mileage shall be computed via an intermediate point(s) which yields the shortest mileage. This does not apply to ferry segments.

(3) The rate classes using a linehaul rate will receive a stop charge for enroute live and operational stops only.

(4) Examples: KBWI*CYQX–EDDF–LTAG–EDDF*CYQX–KBWI-KCHS = 7 Paid

ii. KWRI+KCOF-TAPA-FHAW-TAPA-KCOF+KWRI= 4 Paid Stops3/

1/ * This symbol used in the above example indicates operational stops.

2/ # This symbol used in the above example indicates special miles for circumnavigating countries which will not grant over flight clearances—stop charges do not apply.

3/ + This symbol used in the above example indicates ferry leg for which stop charges do not apply.

4/ / This symbol used to indicate Backhaul Mileage.

5/ - This symbol used in the above example to indicate live stops.

E. COMPUTATION OF MINIMUM UTILIZATION FOR PAY PURPOSES.

(1) Contractors with aircraft up for service shall be guaranteed an average daily utilization of 6,000 paid miles for the duration of the call up or for a specified minimum number of days, whichever is longer. This specified minimum call-up duration for a Stage I activation is 11 days and for a Stage II or III activation the minimum duration is 15 days. Only aircraft called up are guaranteed minimum utilization.

(2) The equation for computing compensation for underutilization is: (6,000 miles - actual miles) x Aircraft Cabin Load (ACL) x activation rate = compensation.

(3) The minimum utilization rate is the live mile rate minus Personnel Expense, Total Oil and Aircraft Supplies Costs, Total Aircraft Maintenance, USTC ACTS Direct

Assignment, and Other Pax Service. G&A and profit percentages will be recalculated based upon applicable cost elements in the activation rate.

Combi $17.64

F. DEFINITIONS.

“Charter Service” means USTRANSCOM contracted airlift for the transportation of passengers in full planeload lots on aircraft chartered from the commercial air industry and paid at the USTRANSCOM negotiated rate. These international charter flights are scheduled by AMC to and from designated commercial airports and/or AMC gateways and/or military aerial ports. Standard cancellation rates (paragraph 6) to not apply.

“Charter rate” means a commercial price that is in fact available to the general public for equivalent services. Missions bought at a commercial charter price are all inclusive of taxes, Eurocontrol and any other ancillary cost and are not subject to adjustments for fuel prices.

“Stop charge” The stop charge is paid by the government in the case of government directed landings (enroute live and operational stops) identified by the contract or delivery order to support USTRANSCOM contracted missions. Operational stops allowed in accordance with Appendix A, Paragraph D (3) are considered directed stops. Landings made by the contractor of his own discretion for maintenance, aborted flights, fuel stops, crew changes, or emergency landings are not considered "directed landings," and therefore receive no stop charge.

“Pay miles” means the great circle statute miles used to compute the price of the mission in accordance with COINS. COINS calculates distances based on longitude and latitude for geographical locations listed in the DoD Flight Information Publication (FLIP) and identified by location indicators assigned by the International Civil Aviation Organization

(ICAO) and published in the Location Indicator, Doc 7910/67.

“Linehaul Rate” The Linehaul rate = Effective Rate - (Stop charge/(Average Stage Length

* ACL))
