Performance and/or Design Requirements (e.g. intended use, function or application, compatibility, requirements; reference to policy, rule, statute or other act of the Legislature, etc., as appropriate):

GT Glass Trainer (GTX configuration) is a highly accurate, open cockpit Advanced Aviation Training Device (AATD) modeled on the Garmin G1000 integrated flight deck environment.

This system delivers high-fidelity flight training capabilities in a cost-effective platform and incorporates features not commonly available in comparable G1000-based simulators.

Key capabilities of the GTX AATD include:

• Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT)

• Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS-B)

• Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS)

• Integrated FlightCharts

• SafeTaxi functionality These advanced avionics features provide enhanced situational awareness and realism, enabling effective training for modern glass cockpit operations. The GTX platform delivers a level of fidelity and capability that has historically not been available at this price point.

Intended Single Source:

Precision Flight Controls, Inc.

Estimated Dollar Amount:

$42,415.00

Justification for single source acquisition (what is necessary and unique about the product, service or source; steps taken to confirm unavailability of competition, as appropriate):

PFC training devices, including the GTX configuration of the GT Glass Trainer, are designed and manufactured in accordance with applicable Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) guidance for Aviation Training Devices, including FAA Advisory Circular AC 61-136 and, where applicable, 14 CFR Part 60 standards. The GTX does qualify as an FAA-approved Advanced Aviation Training Device (AATD) when installed and evaluated in accordance with FAA requirements. The GTX AATD incorporates proprietary hardware, control loading, avionics emulation, and software systems developed exclusively by PFC. Its unique combination of open cockpit design, G1000 fidelity, and integrated advanced features (SVT, TAWS-B, TCAS, FlightCharts, and SafeTaxi) is not available from any other manufacturer in a comparable configuration. No other vendor is authorized to manufacture, distribute, or support this system, and no equivalent product provides the same level of capability, interoperability, and cost-efficiency required for mission readiness. For the Florida State Guard, procurement of the GTX directly supports high-quality, standardized training aligned with modern avionics and operational requirements. Substitution with another system would introduce increased costs, reduced capability, and potential training inconsistencies. Accordingly, the GT Glass Trainer (GTX AATD) must be procured directly from Precision Flight Controls, Inc. on a single-source basis.

Approved By (names & titles, as appropriate, e.g., requestor, requestor management, information systems, budget, purchasing):
