Performance Based Statement of Work For U. S. Naval Test Pilot School

USNTPS QUALITATIVE EVALUATION

1.0 Introduction: The U. S. Naval Test Pilot School (USNTPS) is acquiring flight demonstration flight support of its Qualitative Evaluation flight exercise.

2.0 Background: The USNTPS trains engineering flight test pilots and flight test engineers for the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, and international flight test organizations. The Qualitative Evaluation (QE) Program institutionalized within the USNTPS is a major facet of the curriculum that provides a wide variety of aircraft with differing flying qualities and performance characteristics to the students. The training augments and rounds the education received in aircraft that are organic to USNTPS. Prior to participation in the QE Program at USNTPS, an inspection of the contractor’s equipment, maintenance practices, and flight discipline must be completed. This inspection is conducted by USNTPS staff personnel at the contractor’s place of business.

3.0 Scope:

3.1. The contractor shall provide up to 22.0 demonstration flight hours in a T-33 aircraft (12.0 for TPS, 10.0 for VX-23) to support the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School Qualitative Evaluation Program and VX-23. The typical flight will be flown as 1.0 hour flight time per student/staff member (logged IAW CNAF- 3710.7).

3.2. Flight demonstrations shall take place at Naval Air Station (NAS) Patuxent River, MD. Flights for each squadron will be conducted from the respective squadron’s flight line, which will require relocation to VX-23 flight line following completion of all USNTPS flight events. The total of 22.0 flight hours does not include the ferry time required for transporting the aircraft to and from NAS Patuxent River, if required. Ferry time for one flight from the contactor’s location to Patuxent River and a return flight to the contractor’s location will be priced at a fixed rate.

3.3. Prior to participation in the QE Program at USNTPS, an inspection of the contractor’s equipment, maintenance practices, and flight discipline must be completed. This inspection is conducted by USNTPS staff personnel at the contractor’s place of business or at an agreed-upon location. All discrepancies noted in the inspection must be fixed and documented at the time of proposal submission. This requirement may be waived by the USNTPS Commanding Officer.

The safety pilot is to be FAA Certified Commercial Pilot rated in the T-33 aircraft. The safety pilot’s experience and background must be approved by the QE Monitor and USNTPS Commanding Officer. In addition to all applicable Federal Aviation Regulations, the minimum qualifications for the contractor furnished safety pilot are:

7.1. A minimum of 500 flight hours.

7.2. A minimum of 250 flight hours first pilot time in airplanes.

7.4. Must have a current FAA Commercial pilot certificate with current medical qualifications and required aircraft certifications.

7.5. Must have a current FAA Certified Flight Instructor certificate.

7.6. An initial safety pilot qualification flight and NAS Patuxent River local area familiarization will be completed prior to student flights, these flight are executed concurrent with hours specified in paragraph 6.1 at cost specified in paragraph

9.0. If the safety pilot has flown demonstration flights with USNTPS within the preceding year, the initial safety pilot qualification flight is not required.

8.0 Performance Requirements. During the flights, the flying qualities, performance characteristics and onboard systems will be evaluated throughout the aircraft operating envelope.

The safety pilot shall be in the aircraft for all flights and shall act as the pilot-in-command.

9.0 During demonstration flights, USNTPS and VX-23 will pay the ‘dry” flight hour rate for actual flight time. Actual flight time for reporting purposes is defined in CNAF-M 3710.7 Series.

The rate includes all costs for the airplane usage and maintenance. Daily rates for pilots and maintenance personnel (if applicable) will be costed separately. USNTPS/VX-23 will provide fuel during the demonstration flights. Flight hour costs for the ferry time to NAS Patuxent River will be based on contractor provided fuel. USNTPS/VX-23 will provide fuel for the first leg of the ferry flight from NAS Patuxent River after contract actions are completed. USNTPS/VX-23 will provide hangar (if available) and flight line space for the duration of the demonstration flight period. In the event the aircraft requires extended maintenance, hangar space will be provided for up to two additional weeks. It remains the responsibility of the contractor to provide the maintenance of the aircraft. Government provided maintenance personnel will assist with aircraft movement into and out of the hangar. At the discretion of the USNTPS/VX-23 Maintenance Officer, limited maintenance assistance may be provided for routine maintenance tasks; however, USNTPS/VX-23 will not be held liable for their actions.

10.0 The contractor maintains liability for any damage or loss of the aircraft and third party liability.

10.1. Current insurance, permitting requirements, and necessary forms are defined by

SECNAVINST 3770.1 Series. Requirements and forms can be obtained via the following website:

10.2. Note that when DD Form 2400 states a Combined Single Limit amount and then follows it with the phrase "sublimited to $100,000 per passenger", the stated amount (e.g. $1,000,000) is the total coverage and the $100,000 per passenger is within the $1,000,000, not in addition to it. This would mean that the coverage would not meet the minimum requirement. As an example, for a small aircraft with 3 passenger seats, the minimum is $500,000 bodily injury plus $500,000 property damage plus $300,000 for passenger seats, for a total of $1,300,000.
