Where the requirements of the PBWS exceed the requirements of the state of registry, the state where operations take place, or the AMC requirements, the requirements of the PWS take precedence.

(5) The contractor shall provide a lookout capability to perform internal communications and assist all functions required by the missions, and all passenger and external load flights, to and from navy vessels IAW OPNAVINST 3100.8.

(6) The basic crew duty period shall not exceed 12 consecutive hours Crew time begins at arrival for briefing and ends 12 hours later. If missions extend past the 12 hour day additional crews may be authorized by the COR via a written request or a phone call with a written request following the phone call. Pilots in single-piloted helicopters are limited to a maximum of 6 flying hours in a 12-hour crew duty period.

8.0 MISSION PLANNING AND OPERATIONS

A. Under the Commander, Naval Air Systems Command, PMA-226 Specialized and Proven Aircraft Program Office is the overall CAS Integrated Product Team Lead (IPTL). Depending on the mission and the customer, PMA-226 will designate scheduling offices to execute administrative tasks such as mission scheduling and coordination, travel order issuance and liquidation, and invoice certification.

B. Mission planning and scheduling occurs at three levels:

(1) Long-range planning covering the next six months is conducted at semi-annual program reviews.

(2) The contractor shall meet with the SO once a month to discuss long-term requirements and potential aircraft scheduled maintenance adjustments.

(3) The SO publishes a weekly schedule providing the missions to be supported, date, approximate time, scheduled airspace, and number of missions required. The weekly schedule is updated as required in conjunction with the Barking Sands/Fleet scheduling procedures at the designated scheduling office. The contractor shall be responsible for attending the weekly and monthly scheduled conferences at PMRF. No special operational weekly scheduling arrangements shall be made to meet contractor maintenance requirements. The on- site SO shall brief the on-site Contractor’s Representative regarding details of each mission.

C. Once a weekly schedule is published, the Government shall give the contractor 12 hours advance notice before assigning any additional tasking for primary aircraft. 12-Hour notice may not be provided for emergent tasking.

D. The Government may or may not order flight services on any given day.

E. Flight operations schedule. Flight operations may be scheduled for any time, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The typical schedule for conducting flight operations is Monday through Friday, dawn to dusk, (approximate times are from 0600 to 2000, PMRF Barking Sands local time). The Government shall give 12 hours advance notice (not to include emergent tasking) of a requirement for flying outside the typical operating time. The weekly schedule issued by the SO will identify when operations are required outside of the typical period or are of longer duration than 14 hours per day. Night sustainment flights (if required) shall be coordinated through the weekly scheduling conference. Flight briefs shall be attended by all aircrew at the Range Operations building at the designated time. Aircrew are responsible for the handling and destruction of all mission-briefing guides, regardless of classification. Briefing sheets are classified at a minimum For Official Use Only (FOUO).

F. Various agencies (Aegis, Missile Defense Agency, etc.) conduct T/E testing at this range. CAS support for these T/E missions could include any of the following (bambi bucket operations (as delineated in the PBWS), passenger transportation to/from ships, or even area familiarization flights for high-ranking officials). Each of these testing events requires several weeks of advance planning to execute. This includes dry runs, dress rehearsals and game day events, with the possibility of backup day events if the event needs to be re-scheduled. Often times, these events will carry through the weekend, and require CAS support. Additionally, there exists the possibility that Fleet training events may require weekend flying. Finally, Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) operations will require weekend flying.

G. All flight operations must be authorized through the Government’s on-site SO as defined via a task order.

The Government shall NOT pay for any flight or any other action that the on-site SO did not schedule prior to the flight or action. The on-site SO at Barking Sands, HI shall coordinate the Government’s requirements and schedule all missions.

H. Surge Aircraft. The Government will give the contractor a minimum of 30 days advance notice before scheduling surge aircraft and will normally provide tasking under short-term, temporary assignments.

Once activated under temporary assignment, surge aircraft are considered primary aircraft for the duration of the task assignment, and fall under the scheduling criteria for primary aircraft. During temporary assignments, the contractor shall ensure these aircraft require no scheduled maintenance that will impact operational scheduling. However, during extended deployments (more than two weeks) the Government shall take into consideration operational and scheduled maintenance conflicts where feasible. If the Government requires additional tasking within this 30-day window, the contractor shall be fully accountable under the provisions of the contract for fulfillment of these missions.

I. In the event that Government needs a simultaneous presentation greater than that required under the contract, the Government can request the contractor to provide surge aircraft. The contractor shall be responsible for mission execution.

J. Contractor shall comply with FAA AC 00-1.1B PAO. Passengers and non-required crewmembers are not permitted on flights that are declared PAO. Any personnel on a PAO flight, in excess of the required crewmembers, must receive GFR approval.

Current Government contract fuel rate can be obtained from the COR.

If aircraft or aircrew substitutions are accomplished at the contractor's request during a scheduled deployment, transit to and from the deployment base to accomplish the substitution must be entirely at contractor expense unless otherwise approved by the PCO prior to the substitution.

B. At least 10 days prior to any deployment, the SO shall schedule a pre-deployment planning meeting with the contractor to ensure coordination of requirements, services and accommodations.

C. For purposes of computing deployment duration, the date aircraft depart from the permanent operating site or contractor's home base is the first day of the deployment and the date aircraft return is the last day. If due to the contractor’s own fault the deployment is extended, no payment for additional costs incurred during this extension of the deployment shall be made.

D. The Government shall reimburse the contractor for per diem and travel expenses of maintenance personnel only in accordance with the following matrix. (This matrix does not limit the number of un-reimbursed maintenance personnel the contractor may deploy).
