STATEMENT OF WORK FOR AIRCREW FLIGHT AND MAINTENANCE TRAINING

February 14, 2019

I. BACKGROUND. NASA operates a fleet of diverse aircraft in support of the Agency’s missions. They include variants of commercial aircraft. For these commercial aircraft, NASA is seeking Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) simulator training services at vendor facilities for NASA flight crew and maintainers to maintain their proficiency.

II. SCOPE. The contractor shall, upon Government requisition, provide personnel, facilities, and training materials to conduct Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) academic and simulator training for the aircraft specified below. No changes in the scope of the services shall be undertaken without the explicit authorization of the NASA HQ Contracting Officer.

Gulfstream G-III, G-V

King Air 200

III. AIRCRAFT TRAINING REQUIREMENTS. For the aircraft types listed in Paragraph II, the contractor shall, upon request, provide the training courses described below. All courses shall comprise of both classroom and simulator training (left seat for pilot training).

Initial and Recurrent Pilot Qualification Training.

The initial course shall train a pilot, previously unqualified to fly the aircraft, to a fully qualified level. Specific ground school academics training shall provide instruction in aircraft normal, abnormal, and emergency operations, flight planning, navigation

(including Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation and approaches), weight and balance, engines, flight controls, anti-ice, electrical, landing gear hydraulics, fuel, oil, environmental, pressurization, and propellers when appropriate. The course shall include a flight review or instrument competency check in accordance with Federal Aviation

Administration’s (FAA) Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR (14 CFR)) Part 61 Section

58.

The recurrent course shall maintain a pilot at a high level of knowledge and proficiency in the designated aircraft. The simulator training shall include a variety of training scenarios. The selection of training scenarios shall be based on the needs of each trainee.

GPS navigation and approaches shall also be included.

Flight Engineer Training (Gulfstream G-III and G-V only).

This training shall provide NASA-designated flight engineers the classroom portion of the Pilot Recurrent training when paired with NASA pilots attending G-III or G-V Pilot

Recurrent Training. NASA-designated flight engineers shall only observe and interact with NASA pilots in the simulator.

Initial and Recurrent Maintenance Training

Initial maintenance training shall be sufficient to fully qualify maintenance personnel on all procedures for maintaining the aircraft. Simulator training shall focus on ground operations and emergency procedures for purposes of maintenance troubleshooting and servicing. This training shall incorporate all applicable provisions of FAA FAR 39, 43, and 65.

Recurrent training, incorporating Air Transport Association (ATA) 104 Level III recommendations, is to update the maintainers of the service changes introduced by the aircraft manufacturer and to enhance the maintainers’ technical knowledge through instructor-lead, scenario-based, troubleshooting and systems reviews. This training shall incorporate all applicable provisions of FAA FAR 39, 43, and 65.

Initial and Recurrent Engine Run & Taxi (ERT) Training

The initial training course, incorporating ATA 104 Level III recommendations, is to provide the maintenance technician the knowledge and skill necessary to start the engines and taxi the aircraft. This initial training shall include performance of safety tasks associated with engine starts, required interior/exterior pre-start checks, engine operation, limitations, proper ground communications and airport diagram usage, taxiing the airplane and engines during abnormal conditions/emergencies.

The recurrent training, incorporating ATA 104 Level III recommendations, is to refresh the maintainers’ skills necessary to start the engines and taxi the airplane. The course shall include a debrief and testing at the end. Recommendations for additional training will be forwarded to the designated Contracting Officer’s Representative.

Additional Simulator Training

This training is for simulator training (in 3-hour blocks) in addition to that identified in the Initial and Recurrent Pilot Qualification Training above, such as extra training to meet minimum standards.

IV. OTHER TRAINING REQUIREMENTS. The contractor shall also, upon request, provide the following training

Domestic Reduced Vertical Separation Minima (RVSM) training

International Procedures training (initial and/or recurrent)

FAA approved Airline Transport Pilot / Certificate Training Program (ATP/CTP) training

V. DELIVERABLES. Upon successful completion of the coursework required by each training syllabus, each student shall be provided a proficiency certificate with, at a minimum, the student’s name, the aircraft in which certified, and that the individual is a member of NASA’s aircrew.

VI. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS.

A. TRAINING FACILITIES.

Training courses shall be available to NASA students at any of Contractor’s training facilities that are capable of conducting the training described in this SOW.

The contractor shall provide training facilities in a permanent building and shall provide an atmosphere and environment that is conducive to learning. Desired classroom facilities shall provide for rear projection audio-visual capability, television projections, comfortable desks or tables and chairs, environmental comfort control and dedicated quiet classroom area.

B. TRAINING PROCEDURES.

Training materials shall consist of appropriate aircraft publications, which provide, at a minimum, detailed information on flight planning, normal and abnormal and emergency procedures, aircraft systems, checklists and academic outlines.

Simulator training shall be accomplished utilizing FAA Part 142 Certified, Level

C/D, full flight simulators with visual systems.

Simulator cockpits shall be capable of interchangeability among various aircraft configurations (e.g. AC vs DC systems, tape gauges vs round gauges, Collins vs

Sperry flight directors, etc.) to closely reflect the general configuration of the aircraft used by each trainee. Exact replicas of the aircraft actually used by trainees are not required, i.e. standard commercial cockpit configurations are acceptable.

Training shall conform to the contractor’s commercial programs, courses, curricula, manuals, and practices.

C. INSTRUCTOR QUALIFICATIONS.

At a minimum, instructors of each course shall be highly qualified in aviation/aircraft maintenance experience and have specific flight/maintenance experience in the training course offered.

Simulator instructors shall be FAA FARs 61, 141, or 142 certificated flight instructors as appropriate and shall maintain currency as specified by the appropriate

FARs.

D. SCHEDULING OF TRAINING.

The contractor shall coordinate with NASA, the scheduling of specific dates for the occurrence of training activities. These dates shall be reserved with the contractor in advance, for scheduling purposes only; however, the Government is in no way obligated to issue task orders for the reserved dates. Training shall only be conducted for NASA students with a formal requisition issued by the designated Contracting

Officer’s Representative (COR).

NASA retains the right to cancel or postpone any scheduled training activity or participant with a minimum of five (5) business days prior to the scheduled commencement.

The contractor shall notify NASA’s designated Contracting Officer and COR of any scheduled training facility closures 60 calendar days prior to the closure.
