Performance Based Statement of Work

For U. S. Naval Test Pilot School

SHORT COURSE QUALITATIVE EVALUATION

1.0 Introduction:

The U. S. Naval Test Pilot School (USNTPS) is acquiring flight demonstration flight support for the Introduction to Airplane Flying Qualities Short Course flight exercise.

2.0 Background:

The USNTPS Short Course Department trains Engineering Test Pilots, Flight Officers, and Flight Test Engineers for the Department of Defense and its contractors, Department of Homeland Security, other federal agencies and International Flight Test Organizations. The Short Course Department offers a series of two-week courses that are designed to expose students to basic flight test principles associated with airplane and rotary wing flying qualities, airborne systems, and performance characteristics. A key element of each short course is a formal student flight demonstration/evaluation to provide hands-on experience with test techniques. The Introduction to Airplane Flying Qualities flight evaluation is managed by USNTPS personnel using a contractor supplied instrumented airplane and pilot. Prior to award, to ensure suitability of the aircraft and pilot, a formal evaluation of the potential offers’ aircraft, equipment, maintenance practices, and flight discipline must be conducted by USNTPS personnel at the contractor’s place of business.

3.0 Scope:

The contractor shall provide a fixed-wing multi-seat aircraft to support USNTPS Introduction to airplane Flying Qualities short course.

3.1 Staff Evaluation. The contractor shall provide one demonstration flight hour to USNTPS staff instructor. The staff flight evaluation shall take place from the contractor’s place of business. Additionally, the contractor shall provide a minimum of 2 hours for a government ground evaluation to assess vehicle airworthiness and review maintenance documentation for the aircraft.

3.2 Student Flights. After successful completion of staff evaluation, the contractor shall provide not to exceed 20 demonstration flight hours per period in a fixed-wing multi-seat aircraft to support the USNTPS Introduction to Airplane Flying Qualities Short Course Students. Flight demonstration shall take place at NAS Patuxent River (KNHK) in Maryland or St Mary’s County (2W6) Airport in Maryland, with an alternate location at NOLF Webster Field (KNUI) in Maryland. Aircraft and aircrew are expected to remain at the flight demonstration facility (or within the local vicinity) until the flight portion of the short course syllabus has been satisfied. Additionally, the contractor shall provide access to airworthiness and maintenance documentation for the aircraft.

4.0 Applicable Documents. The contractor is responsible for review and adherence to the following applicable documents, as they apply to this contract:

4.1. OPNAVINST 3710.7 Series

5.0 Period of Performance.

5.1. Staff Eval. The period of performance for the staff evaluation of the potential offerors’ aircraft, equipment, maintenance practices, and flight discipline must be conducted as soon as practical to be complete to meet time constraints for award of student flight requirement.

5.2. Student Evals. The period of performance for this flight demonstration/evaluation is 1 October 2014 – 30 June 2017, with exact flight dates set by the short course training schedule. This period will include a base period and up to 5 – 6 month option periods.

6.0 Performance Requirements.

During each flight, the longitudinal and lateral-directional flying qualities will be demonstrated and evaluated throughout the aircraft’s operating envelope.

6.3. Maintenance, oil, special equipment, and any other support services associated with the operation of the aircraft.

6.3.1. The contractor shall comply with Federal regulations for all hazardous material as found in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 40, Parts 260-265, 270, 300 and state regulations for hazardous wastes found in the Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR), Title 10, Subtitle 26. The contractor shall be responsible for transportation, accumulation, and turn-in of regulated and hazardous waste, waste oils/fuels if not previously agreed to. Material safety data sheets for all hazardous materials brought on station will be mailed to USNTPS, Hazardous Waste Program Manager, Code 55TP91A, at least two weeks prior to arrival.

6.4. Any flight gear specific to the aircraft type.

6.5. Fully operational fixed-wing multi-seat aircraft which:

6.5.1. Must meet applicable FAA standards for the appropriate category and class.

6.5.3. Required to operate in Day VMC within controlled airspace requiring a Mode 3C transponder and VHF communications.

6.5.4. Desired to have IMC capability to transit to VMC conditions for executing the short course syllabus as needed

6.5.5. Desired to have UHF communications in addition to VHF communications.

6.5.6. Desired to have side-by-side configuration for student-instructor interaction throughout the flight.

6.5.7. Desired to have additional seating to accommodate a ride-along observer, which may consist of a short course student, USNTPS instructor, or contractor aircrew.

6.6. Fully operational flying qualities instrumentation package:

6.6.1. Removable digital media recording for the following parameters:

6.6.1.1. REQUIRED (measurement units per industry standards)

6.6.1.1.1. Aircraft Roll, Pitch, and Yaw rates

6.6.1.1.2. Aircraft Normal Acceleration (Nz)

The rate includes all costs for the CDP, airplane usage, maintenance, instrumentation usage, and post-flight data processing (as defined in paragraph 6.6.3), and subject to the following:

8.1. For operations out of 2W6, the contractor is responsible for fuel, and the aircraft flight hour rate should reflect a wet usage rate.

9.0 The contractor maintains liability for any damage or loss of the aircraft and third party liability.

9.1. Current insurance, permitting requirements, and necessary forms are defined by SECNAVINST 3770.1 Series. Requirements and forms can be obtained via the following website: https://portal.navfac.navy.mil/portal/page?_pageid=1135,4012049,1135_4014781&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL

9.2. Note that when DD Form 2400 states a Combined Single Limit amount and then follows it with the phrase "sublimited to $100,000 per passenger", the stated amount (e.g. $1,000,000) is the total coverage and the $100,000 per passenger is within the $1,000,000, not in addition to it. This would mean that the coverage would not meet the minimum requirement. As an example, for a small aircraft with 3 passenger seats, the minimum is $500,000 bodily injury plus $500,000 property damage plus $300,000 for passenger seats, for a total of $1,300,000.

(1) A percentage reduction applies

Minimum insurance requirements and landing permits must be received and verified prior to transit to and landing at NAS Patuxent River.
