Performance Work Statement (PWS) INTRODUCTION TO FIGHTER FUNDAMENTALS PREPARATORY ACADEMIC AND SIMULATOR INSTRUCTOR 9 July 24

1. GENERAL. This Performance Work Statement (PWS) defines the overall scope and requirements of work. The Contractor herby referred to as the Contracted Simulator Instructor (CSI) shall provide preparatory academic and simulator instruction for post-graduate T-38C Upgrading Pilots (UP) awaiting follow-on Introduction to Fighter Fundamentals (IFF) at Columbus, Sheppard, and Randolph Air Force Base.

1.1. WORK SCHEDULE, PLANS AND WORKING HOURS. The CSI will perform contracted work two days a week, for a total of 16 hours (8 hours per day). Workdays for this contract will be performed within Mondays through Fridays between the hours of 0730 and 1730 (7:30 AM and 5:30 PM). The CSI will monthly submit requested/available working days for the following month to the 87 FTS IFF Preparation Flight Commander (Z-Flight Commander) and 87 FTS Programming Office by the 15th of the preceding month. Changes to availability will be coordinated at least one week in advance. Simulator events and academic instruction will be scheduled at least one week in advance to provide deconfliction and adequate notification of upcoming events. IFF Preparatory academics and simulator events will be scheduled by 87 FTS Programming and the Z/Flight Commander to not conflict with T-38 pilot training simulator syllabus requirements.

1.2. FLIGHT PUBLICATIONS. The 87 FTS will provide current flying publications for the CSI via an Electronic Flight Bag (EFB). The EFB will be configured IAW standard local requirements from 47 OGV to include “T-38 STINFO & CUI”, “47 OG ALL”, and “T-38C PUBS” file paths which may be updated utilizing the local network. The 87 CSS will issue the EFB and it will be ensured configured by the Z-Flight Commander before issuance. A sample listing of required publications can be found in Appendix A.

1.3. CLASSROOM AVAILABILITY. The 47 OG and 87 FTS will provide classroom space for the CSI to conduct academic lectures in preparation for IFF concepts and simulators. It is anticipated there will be between 5-12 IFF Preparation Students (Z-Flight Students) depending on pipeline timelines. The 87 FTS has a dedicated Z-Flight room (Bldg 320 rm. 2250) which will accommodate space for IFF Prep Academics. Included are numerous white boards, a dedicated briefing room, and computers for academic access.

1.4. SIMULATOR AVAILABILITY. IFF Preparatory simulator events will exclusively be taught in Weapons Systems Trainers (WSTs) to optimize UPs training by providing realistic sight pictures for offensive and defensive Basic Fighter Maneuvers (BFM) as well as Basic Surface Attack (BSA) training.

1.5. CSI EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS. The individual selected to fill the contract role of CSI shall have had operational experience in a fighter platform as a flight lead to have had the requisite experience in flying BFM and BSA. They must have been assigned previously as a T-38 flight and/or simulator instructor as to have had the requisite experience instructing in the T-38 and it is preferred but not required that they were qualified as an IFF flight and/or simulator Instructor as to have had experience teaching BFM and BSA in a T-38.

1.6. CSI TRAINING/QUALIFICATION. To become a qualified Simulator Instructor, the contractor will complete the requisite Simulator Instructor Training (SIT) program and complete an Instructor Evaluation. The requirements for SIT and the Evaluation are outlined in AETCI 11-203 (Attachment 1) and AETCI 11-203 Laughlin Air Force Base Supplement (Attachment 2).

2. PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS. All Instructor tasks shall be accomplished to meet the standards listed below:

2.1.1. Trains and assesses UPs performance and potential for success at IFF through Preparatory Academics and Simulators IAW requirements for IFF at Sheppard, Columbus, and Randolph AFB. Students will receive simulator training and exposure specific to the base at which they will attend IFF. Reference publications for Sheppard, Columbus, and Randolph will be provided by the 87 FTS Z-Flight Commander IAW paragraph 1.2.

2.1.2. Organizes, prepares, and presents academic instruction required to build UP knowledge to be able to accomplish IFF maneuvers in the simulator IAW follow-on squadron playbooks, standards, and local procedures. Academics will be focused on T-38 and IFF -specific procedures in BFM and BSA. The CSI can utilize the prepared Instructor Based Training that students will receive at IFF, found in the 87 FTS Shared Drive. Emphasis will be on identifying UPs weaknesses in flying performance, reception and attitude towards debrief feedback, and preparedness for IFF-specific instruction.

2.1.3. Provides in-simulator instruction through evaluation of UPs’ Cross Check while performing the full range of maneuvers that will be expected at follow-on IFF training during BFM and BSA.

2.1.4. The CSI will accomplish at least one academic session, simulator brief, simulator event, and simulator debrief per working day.

2.1.5. Create simulator training profiles (missions) to provide tailored instruction for follow-on expectations at individual UPs’ IFF locations with emphasis on location-specific Departures, Recoveries, and standard tactical administration to prepare UPs for their IFF Squadrons’ expectations. Currently there is a Randolph AFB mission profile, the CSI will co-develop (with Z-Flt/CC) training profiles for Sheppard AFB and Columbus AFB IAW their local Military Operating Area (MOA) Airspace Structure. Students will fly at least one published instrument approach using the local recovery procedures at their follow-on base during their training within Z-Flight.

2.1.6. Adapt instruction with iterative changes to IFF Squadron Standards and local procedures. Utilize IFF feedback channels through the 87 FTS Z FLT/CC to adjust training plans based upon trend data from IFF Squadron and Flight Commanders’ feedback. Receive trend data for current students from their UPT flight commander and tailor instruction to their needs in preparation.

2.1.7. Maintain current knowledge of updates to aircraft systems, technical orders, and Flight Crew Information Files which affect UP flight operations.

2.1.8. Given there is sufficient time between completion of Undergraduate Pilot Training phase three and departure for IFF, IFF Prep students shall receive at least two academic sessions dedicated to T-38 BFM and one academic session dedicated to BSA. Following academics, UPs will perform BFM and BSA training in dedicated WST Events tailored to their respective IFF TDY locations. The CSI will track these events per individual student with the Z Flt/CC.

2.1.8. The first two academic sessions a student will receive will be focused on BFM Fundamentals. Their first simulator will be focused on their respective IFF Squadron’s local procedures and Heat-to-Guns introduction and repetition.

2.1.9. Following the first simulator event, depending on timeline restrictions and student performance, the student may perform a second simulator focused on offensive BFM. Students will focus on 3K and 6K Offensive BFM Perch Sets. If scheduling allows, these simulator events will be linked with the CSI or a dedicated T-38 IP (11F background) flying the other simulator.

2.1.10. After performing two simulators focused on introducing Air to Air fundamentals (Heat to Guns and Offensive BFM), students may perform a BSA simulator to supplement training.

2.1.11. For future UPT Syllabus updates, including Fighter Bomber Fundamentals, which require syllabus students to receive academics and simulators at Laughlin that align with current IFF training, the CSI will provide instruction and training IAW the scope of this PWS and future syllabi. Should FBF be implemented in the UPT syllabus during this contract, and UPT graduates no longer attend IFF, the CSI will aid in the transition of employment instruction academics and simulators.
