About this file
This is a Statement of Work for PC-12 Initial Maintenance Training issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California. NASA requires a qualified contractor to provide comprehensive maintenance training for four NASA maintainers to ensure proficiency and safe aircraft operations. The contractor must deliver all personnel, facilities, equipment, and training materials at its qualified training facility.
The training program must cover aircraft systems overview (airframe, electrical, hydraulic, fuel, environmental, flight controls, avionics, and ice protection), powerplant systems (engine operation, controls, indications, interfaces, and performance monitoring), maintenance practices (publications, scheduled/unscheduled maintenance, servicing, and ground handling), troubleshooting (fault isolation, diagnostics, and corrective actions), and ground operations (engine run procedures and maintenance-specific taxi operations). Instruction must comply with FAR Parts 39, 43, and 65. The contractor shall provide structured hands-on training using aircraft system trainers, component mockups, or equivalent devices, along with instructor-led classes, multimedia resources, and scenario-based troubleshooting practice. All training materials, including aircraft publications, academic outlines, checklists, and schematics, must be provided. Facilities must be located in permanent buildings with audiovisual capability, comfortable seating, climate control, and dedicated classroom space. Instructors must hold an Instructor Rating or equivalent formal instructor qualification and be highly qualified in aviation/aircraft maintenance. Students must demonstrate proficiency through written examinations, practical assessments, and instructor evaluations, upon which each student receives a proficiency certificate containing the student's name, aircraft type, and NASA maintainer designation.
