The Offeror shall, for each system and requirement designated in Attachment L-4 (Configuration), provide the system description, manufacturer, model number, and evidence of compliance with the PBS [AV-XXX] requirements as a completed Annex C (Configuration). Annex C (Configuration) shall be incorporated into the awarded contract as Attachment J-4 as the final functional configuration for contractual purposes. The Offeror will document compliance with all performance values required in Section 3.1.4 and Appendix B profiles of the PBS using the Rotorcraft Operation and Performance Manuals. The Offeror’s proposal shall comprehensively address compliance with all requirements in the CRM. The Offeror’s evidence of compliance shall be submitted electronically as fully searchable .pdf files within Annex H (no hardcopy required). Please note Annex H may contain separate files (e.g., contractor manuals) to provide evidence of compliance.

System Performance Demonstration

Offerors are advised that all proposed aircraft shall undergo a System Performance Demonstration (SPD), in accordance with Attachment L-2 (SPD). Three business days prior to the beginning of the SPD, the Government will provide to the Offeror a set of cards specific to the SPD aircraft system that implements the matrix provided in

Attachment L-2, which will be used to guide the ground and flight events and record data. The Offeror shall review and revise the cards to ensure procedural accuracy prior to flight. This SPD will be considered as an aspect of the verification of Element 2.1.1, to demonstrate the proposed aircraft’s ability to support the Appendix B Mission

Profiles called out in AV-008 of the PBS that represent the CNATRA training curriculum (provided in the

Competition Library). The Government will not assign an independent technical rating for the SPD, as the SPD is only intended to inform the Government’s evaluation of Element 2.1.1. Offerors are advised that requirements specified in the SPD that cannot be evaluated and that are not adequately addressed in the written proposal may receive a significant weakness or deficiency. Simulator, static displays, and other ground training devices shall not be used for the SPD.

The Offeror may use one aircraft for the SPD flight demonstration and no more than three aircraft for the SPD ground demonstration, including anthropometric. The aircraft used in the SPD shall be as close as possible to the final configuration of the Offeror’s proposed TH-XX helicopter, and shall be at least of the same type and model.

The Government will provide four Government helicopter pilots and one Flight Test Engineer (FTE), whose experience will be provided in Attachment L-3, to conduct the SPD. Additionally, the Government will provide some personnel and all required equipment to conduct the anthropometric evaluation. The Contractor may be asked to supplement the Government provided personnel in order to perform a complete anthropometric assessment.

The Government will conduct one SPD per week between the following dates: 4/22/2019 - 5/17/2019. The Offeror shall rank those weeks in order of preference within that period, which the Government will attempt to accommodate. The Government requests that the Offeror provide its ranking of these weeks 21 calendar days prior to the proposal due date. The Government desires to complete SPDs for all aircraft offered within a continuous period, dependent on the total number of aircraft offered. Offerors will be notified of their SPD date after receipt of proposals. Once the SPD is scheduled, the Government will not reschedule except for weather delays or force majeure.

In addition to providing its timing preferences, the Government requests that 21 days before proposal due date the Offeror provide the Government the following information for each aircraft that will be used to conduct the SPD:

1. One copy of the current FAA-approved OEM Flight Manual and any supplements, and any additional operating limits beyond the scope of these manuals;

2. A copy of the FAA Airworthiness Certification (FAA Form 8100-2) and type certificates;

3. Any additional descriptions of the aircraft and applicable systems to support aircraft familiarization;

4. Airfield and course rules training materials;

5. Location, access, and administration instructions for the site at which the Offeror plans to hold the SPD;

6. A detailed configuration list of the demonstration aircraft with explicit breakdown of any anticipated configuration differences between the demonstration aircraft and the production representative aircraft

(prospective TH-XX); and

7. Recent engine power assurance data and weight and balance information.

If multiple aircraft are used to conduct the SPD, redundant information does not need to be provided for each aircraft. Items 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7 shall be provided for the proposed IFR-certified T/M aircraft. Any deviations, additions, configuration differences, etc., for items 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7 shall be provided for each aircraft used in the

SPD. However, additional information for items 2 and 7 is not required for aircraft used only for SPD ground evaluation with the engines off and rotors not turning. Items 4 and 5 only need to be provided once, regardless of the number of aircraft used in the SPD evaluation, provided the information is sufficient to conduct all planned SPD events.

The Government will conduct only one SPD for each aircraft proposed. The Government requires a continuous five-day period to conduct each SPD. The five-day SPD evolution will be conducted at the Offeror’s designated facility, during which the Offeror’s aircraft, support equipment, and facilities shall be available to support the SPD.

The Offeror will provide a qualified pilot to serve as Pilot-in-Command. Government pilots should be pilot-at-the-controls for the ground and flight demonstration points. Each SPD shall include the following (see Attachment

L-2):

Aircraft ground training and airfield familiarization

Approximately 15 hours of ground demonstration

Approximately 12 hours of anthropometric ground evaluation

Approximately six hours of total flight time across day and night demonstration flights

Additional flight or ground demonstration time may be required in the event of weather delays or other force majeure. By participating in the SPD, the Offeror understands and accepts all liability for the demonstration, including, but not limited to, damage or wear and tear on the SPD aircraft.

The events will be conducted within the limits of the FAA approved OEM Flight Manual and the Offeror’s Standard

Operating Procedure. Demonstration data will be collected by Government personnel from production gauges and

Government provided portable instrumentation equipment. Portable instrumentation may include cloth measuring tapes, ruler, smartphone or tablet data acquisition application, portable data acquisition unit, voice recorder, video recorder (GoPro), hand-held stopwatch, and a still camera. Handheld instrumentation will only be used by the non-flying crewmembers and will be stowed when not in use. Test data will be manually recorded.
