1.1 Scope of work

The contractor shall develop and present flight test pilot/flight test engineer technical training consisting of an initial course and a recurrent course as ordered by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Students attending the courses will be FAA approved Flight Test Pilots, Flight Test Engineers, and others approved by the FAA. A typical class is composed of six (6) students as follows: (2) flight test pilots, two (2) flight test engineers, and two (2) others, with deviation at the Agency’s discretion. The length of the initial course should be approximately 160 hours or more and the length of the recurrent course should be approximately 64 hours. Instruction must accomplish the training outcomes listed in section 6, Specific Tasks.

1.2 Quality Assurance

1.2.1 If so directed by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), all course material will be reviewed at least three times during the life of the initial contract plus at least once during each option year by FAA technical experts selected by the FAA course manager. The FAA shall advise the contractor of specific changes required within 15 working days after each review. The contractor shall incorporate the changes prior to the next review. The third review will be the final review and disposition. Deviations from this procedure will be by mutual agreement with all parties involved.

1.2.2 Class Monitoring

An FAA technical representative shall be permitted to monitor classroom and laboratory sessions to assure that all training outcomes and contract specifications are met.

1.2.3 Student Completion Reports

Upon completion of all training, the contractor shall issue a Certificate of Training (Appendix A) and a course/instructor critique. The FAA student and the instructor shall sign the certificate certifying the type of training provided, the dates of training, and the hours of instruction completed. The FAA student must complete the course/instructor critique. A copy of the Certificate of Training and course critique for each student will be forwarded to the COR by the contractor within five (5) working days. The results of all student surveys/feedback/critiques must be provided to the FAA.

1.3 Operations

Prior to conducting the first class of either course, the contractor shall have in place an operations policy. This written policy must include at a minimum weather minima, wind, heat index, etc,

1.4 Safety Program, Reporting, and Accident Investigation System.
