5.6.5.2 NAS Kingsville (NASK) RFT Bands:

5.6.5.2.1 In the event not all T-45A's are converted to T-45C's by FY14, the T-45A flight availability requirement is 50% of the remaining T-45A pool. The remaining T-45A aircraft will be flown for other-than-training purposes.

5.6.5.3 NAS Meridian (NASM) RFT Bands:

5.6.5.4 FY14 NAS Pensacola (NASP) RFT Bands:

NOTE: Table 5.6.5.5, below, indicates the Government’s intended RFT bands for NASP in FY14; however, the contractually required band will be selected IAW PWS Paragraph 5.6.6. Two Bands will be simultaneously selected at NASP in FY14, one for T-45C and another for T-45 VMTS.

5.6.5.5 FY14 NAS Pensacola (NASP) RFT Bands:

RFT BANDS FROM TABLE 5.6.5.4

NOTE: FY14 breakdown is dependent on an IOC of VMTS in OCT 2013. *Q4 of FY14 will be dependent on the number of VMTS T-45 aircraft delivered to NASP.

5.6.5.6 FY15-20 NAS Pensacola (NASP) Minimum RFT Bands (13 VMTS aircraft):

5.6.5.7 FY15-20 NAS Pensacola (NASP) Mean RFT Bands (16 VMTS aircraft):

5.6.5.8 FY15-20 NAS Pensacola (NASP) Maximum RFT Bands (19 VMTS aircraft):

NOTE: FY15-20 will be dependent on the number of VMTS T-45 aircraft delivered to NASP. Minimum, Mean and Maximum tables were used to forecast based on possibility of 13-19 VMTS aircraft to be delivered. BAND 1 for all scenarios is the planned band for use for paragraphs 5.6.5.6 thru 5.6.5.8.

5.6.6 Flight Requirements: Requirements to accomplish the daily flight scenarios for RFT aircraft are identified in PWS paragraphs 5.6.5.2 through 5.6.5.8. The required RFT band of daily availability times for each operational site will be selected by the ACO IAW Contract Section B-3.4.

5.6.6.1 All aircraft on detachments, as defined in this PWS, are considered RFT assets. Aircraft launched to go on detachment will be considered in a cross country status until they arrive at the detachment site. If the aircraft is unable to return due to maintenance discrepancy, it will be counted in the daily flight bands for a period not to exceed seventy two (72) hours from ACO authorization.

5.6.6.2 Aircraft in a Contractor-flown Functional Check Flight (FCF) status shall not count as an available aircraft to meet the aircraft requirements identified above, Section 5.6.5. FCFs shall be flown/accomplished by the Contractor in coordination with the ACO designated Government Flight Representative (GFR).

5.6.6.3 If the Government elects to perform the FCF, then the aircraft shall count as an RFT aircraft to meet the aircraft requirements identified in paragraphs 5.6.5.2 through 5.6.5.8. However, if the Contractor requests that the Government perform the FCFs then the FCF aircraft shall not count as a RFT aircraft as identified in paragraphs 5.6.5.2 through 5.6.5.8.

5.6.6.4 “Hot Seat” is defined as the transfer of aircraft commander without shutting down the aircraft or turning it into maintenance control. The Government will annotate the events requiring “Hot Seats” in the Daily Flight Schedule (DFS). The Contractor will determine which aircraft are to be hot-seated to meet the DFS requirements. “Hot Seats” shall count towards the aircraft required to meet the Aircraft Availability times identified in PWS paragraphs 5.6.5.2 through 5.6.5.8. The Contractor shall approve any “Hot Seat” not annotated on the DFS.

5.6.6.5 All aircraft assigned/issued by the Contractor for cross-country flight shall have enough FHs available to meet the mission requirements as defined on the DFS. Aircraft issued for cross-country flights and in a Mission Capable (MC) status shall count towards the aircraft required to meet the 1230 or 1300 availability times required by respective tables in PWS paragraphs 5.6.5.2 through 5.6.5.8 for all days that the Government retains the aircraft.

5.6.6.6 Aircraft Static Displays: Aircraft flown off base for static display will count as Ready For Training (RFT). Aircraft used for on-station static displays will reflect the aircraft’s current status whether it is RFT or not.

5.6.6.7 Surge Capability for weekends and holidays: The Government may increase the number of operating hours and add RFT aircraft and associated support for flight operations during the execution of this contract. The ACO will order additional RFT aircraft, NLT 72-hours in advance for the Contractor to invoke an increase of up to 10 hours of operations on Saturday, Sunday or holidays and to support ordered RFT aircraft. The Government reserves the right to cancel the requirement with 24-hours notice. The number of aircraft required shall not exceed the RFT band that has been selected by the applicable site. RFT metrics required by PWS paragraph 5.5 do not apply to additional RFT (Surge) aircraft.

5.6.6.8 Additional Aircraft Requirements – The Government may require additional aircraft over the number of daily individual aircraft requirement identified in paragraphs 5.6.5.2 through 5.6.5.8 at any time throughout contract performance. The ACO will order the additional aircraft no less than 24 hours in advance.
