It is understood that some modifications relate to powered systems that the FAA will certify for captive carriage only.

FAA Special Certificates For aircraft with Special Certificates, the Contractor shall provide the Program Letter submitted to the FAA for application of the airworthiness certificate used in support of this contract or latest Program Letter associated with the current airworthiness certificate. Under this certificate, the aircraft must be maintained in accordance with the Operating Limitations issued as part of that certificate. For each aircraft modification, whether internal or related to the carriage of external stores, or external mold line, the Contractor shall secure and make available for review, a valid FAA airworthiness certification, and associated Operating Limitations (CDRL A005), before the modification is used in support of this contract. Where the modification is a Major Change (defined by 14 CFR 21.93), the Contractor shall provide the Program Letter and secure the FAA's determination regarding the need for new or amended operating limitations. It is recognized that some modifications relate to powered systems that the FAA will certify for captive carriage only, which will require further certification under a USN Interim Flight Clearance (IFC).

Aircraft Modifications All major alterations incorporated before contract award shall have sufficient data to determine that the equipment or provisions for the equipment meet the applicable civil, Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), MIL-STD, or some other recognized engineering substantiation data, for the type of aircraft concerned. For Type Certified aircraft, if this data references FAA regulations as the standard, then the Contractor shall provide Approved Data as defined in ref (d) for any Major Alteration or Major Repair. For each aircraft proposed that requires modification to meet the requirements of PWS, the Contractor shall prepare and make available, a plan detailing the modifications required to bring the aircraft into compliance. Plans shall include all significant modifications required, major milestones, organization performing the modification(s), source of data supporting the modification(s) and airworthiness certification authority. Major alterations to aircraft with Standard Airworthiness Certificates shall have been certified as airworthy and properly documented using FAA Form 337 signed in blocks six (6) (Conformity) and seven (7) (Return to Service) by persons authorized under 14 CFR, and citing FAA Approval Data. Unless directed otherwise by the Government, the Contractor shall remove any major alteration incorporated before contract award that was not certified as airworthy by a rated FAA certified mechanic, aircraft manufacturer or repair station. Major aircraft alterations (IAW14 CFR) or modification to aircraft, operating to meet the requirements in this PSW shall be certified as airworthy prior to continuing operations. . When applicable, aircraft with Standard airworthiness certificates properly documented using FAA Form 337 signed in blocks six (6) (Conformity) and seven (7) (Return to Service) by persons authorized under 14 CFR, and citing the FAA Approved Data (defined in FAA Order 8300.16) in block eight (8) and an accompanying aircraft maintenance record entry.

Operational Requirements Mission Planning

PMA-226 is the overall CAS Program Manager. Depending on the mission and the customer, PMA-226 will designate Scheduling Officers (SO) to execute administrative tasks such as mission scheduling and coordination, and invoice certification. The Contractor shall provide a Contractor Representative (CR) CR to contact, to cover scheduling 24 hours per day/seven days a week. The CR shall coordinate with the SO on all formal requests for HEEWJ CAP services to determine feasibility of support, associated cost of support, implications of support on other scheduled or potentially scheduled mission and any other necessary details requiring coordination.

Notwithstanding other directives of this PWS, flight operations may be scheduled and conducted at any time, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, subject to a minimum mission flight time. However, the normal schedule for flight operations is Monday through Friday, 0600 to 2000 local time. The weekly schedule will (provided by FACSFACs) will identify when operations are required outside of this period or are of longer duration than 14 hours per day. When this weekly schedule is published, the government will typically provide the Contractor 24 hours advance notice for EW and Banner/Target Tow missions and 72-hour notice for Stand Off Jamming missions before assigning any additional tasking for aircraft. During periods of intensive test operations or major exercises, flight operations, with all available aircraft, may run in excess of 14 hours a day, seven days a week for up to 4 weeks. When this type of schedule is anticipated to last one week or longer, the government will typically notify the Contractor via email at least 30 days in advance. Scheduled and planned maintenance requirements that may preclude aircraft availability should be coordinated as far in advance as possible so that supportable commitments can be adjusted. If the Contractor cannot support an assigned or future mission, the Contractor shall inform the Government, via email or the COR for mitigation.

Scheduling Officer Communications with Contractor A. The designated SO for all PMA-226 Task Orders is the Contracted Air Services Office at Fleet Area Control and Surveillance Facility (FACSFAC) Virginia Capes (VACAPES) and FASFAC San Diego, which covers Pearl Harbor operations.

B. The designated SO for PMA-226 Test and Evaluation Task Orders T&E schedules office for PMA-226 at NAS Patuxent River, Maryland. The Government may change the SO during the course of the contract.

C. The SO and CR will communicate as often as required to develop short and long range schedules. This scheduling should include planned operation using Standard Mission support Personnel.

D. Notwithstanding other directives of this PWS, the Contractor shall dispatch an aircraft within 24 hours of formal notification of tasking before being considered unable to meet tasking.

E. The Government may or may not order flight services on any given day of detachment operations.

Authorization of Flight Operations All flight operations must be authorized through the SO or the designated FACSFAC) (VACAPES) and FASFAC San Diego representative.

Released by the Government When all flights for detachment operations have been completed, the SO will notify the CR, via email, that the deployment is complete. Following this notification, the CR shall complete and implement arrangements to return the aircraft, personnel, and equipment to the home base.

The Contractor shall be liable for any damage or misuse of the facilities and equipment. The Contractor’s use of the Government designated base at North Island is discretionary and the Contractor may choose a private site of operation. However, the Government will not reimburse the Contractor for any additional costs as a result of using West Coast basing other than at North Island.

East Coast Basing The Government has not designated a permanent base for aircraft on the East Coast. The Contractor shall establish a permanent base for the aircraft. The permanent base shall be within 150 nautical miles (NM) of location: Latitude N36’ 00” and Longitude W75’ 30” for operations. The Contractor may be permanently based at locations of the Contractor’s choosing, but the Government will not reimburse the Contractor for ferry expenses greater than 150 NM from Latitude N36’ 00” and Longitude W75’ 30”.
