When detachments (greater than 7 days), high tempo operations or extended fly days are anticipated, the Government will notify the Contractor via email at least 14 business days in advance.

Scheduled and planned maintenance requirements that may preclude aircraft availability should be coordinated as far in advance as possible with the SO. Pilot mission briefs are held prior to mission execution and will include detailed information for mission profile execution.

4.1.4 The Contractor shall coordinate ground and flight crew daily schedules as necessary to meet the operational tasking of the SO. The Contractor shall provide a CR contact to cover scheduling 24 hours per day/seven days a week. Scheduled and planned maintenance requirements that will preclude availability of any aircraft should be coordinated as far in advance as possible so that supportable commitments can be adjusted. As soon as it is determined that missions cannot be met, the Contractor shall inform the Government if any aircraft are not able to meet assigned or future missions, via email or phone to the COR.
