Upon arrival at the location for the SPD, the Offeror will provide to the Government the following items to be used to conduct the SPD:

- Classroom and simulator training prior to the SPD flights.

- A private room equipped with internet access (wired or wireless) for at least six personnel for the duration of the SPD, to include printer and photo copier access.

- A complete equipment list, airworthiness, registration, operating limitations, weight and balance, and maintenance records for the last 10 flights of aircraft being used for the SPD.

- External power and hydraulic power (if necessary) to the aircraft, as required by the SPD team, during the ground demonstration event.

- The ground-based mission planning system for use in preflight planning and flight plan loading.

Notes:

(1) All engineering test procedures IAW FTM 106, 107 and 109. Attitude build-up to be completed prior to conducting any inflight engineering tests. Tests may be added or omitted based on aircraft capability. Events marked with an * will be repeated at night. Most events are directly traceable to the system performance demonstration requirements, however items marked with an (§) are engineering tasks designed to provide quantitative engineering rigor to the qualitative assessments.

(2) All targeted airspeeds and limits will be based on production aircraft gauges. Data will be collected from the aircraft HUMS/data bus if available.

(3) Actual airspeeds and altitudes will be determined based on weather conditions, airspace restrictions and host policy.

(4) Assessments will be primarily qualitative in nature, with quantitative methods used to support the assessment. All assessments will be for the CNATRA Advanced

Undergraduate Helicopter Pilot Training Mission.

(5) Aircraft will be operated in the configuration as provided by the host/OEM. All bleed air consumers will be ON during performance tests, unless otherwise required/desired for comparison to FAA OEM Flight Manual performance charts.

(6) Mission specific maneuvers will be conducted IAW CNATRA Training Instruction. CNATRA requested events are BOLD.

(7) AFCS will be configured in the normal operating mode, with the appropriate upper mode engaged as necessary or as required for assessment of the systems.

(8) Emergency Procedures will be tailored to each specific platform. Training modes will be assessed IAW the FAA OEM Flight Manual procedures and OEM training guidance.

(9) All performance data collected during test day conditions will be used for spot checking the FAA approved and available OEM supplied supplemental performance charts.

Data may be reduced and interpolated (not extrapolated) to mission conditions (if possible) for comparison.

(§) Test includes additional Mechanical Characteristics Sub-Tests provided in Table 2, which are designed to provide quantitative engineering data to support assessments.
