Performance Based Statement of Work

For U. S. Naval Test Pilot School

QUALITATIVE EVALUATION

1.0 Introduction: The U. S. Naval Test Pilot School (USNTPS) is acquiring flight demonstration flight support for the DT-IIA 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 a total of two (7) hours of flight demonstration in the S-92A aircraft, one (1) hour of ground training. The flight will be conducted during the period 2 - 11 May 2019.

3.2. Flight demonstrations and ground training shall take place at the contractor facility in Lafayette, LA.

4.0 Applicable Documents

4.1. SECNAVINST 3770.1 Series: Use of Department of the Navy Aviation Facilities by Other Than United States Department of Defense Aircraft

4.2. OPNAVINST 3710.7 Series: NATOPS General Flight and Operating Procedures

4.3. USNTPSINST 3710.3 Series: Qualitative Evaluation Program

6.4. The aircraft is to be an FAA approved configuration.

7.0 Safety Pilot Requirements. A contractor or contractor-approved pilot-in-command (hereafter referred to as the safety pilot) is required. 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 helicopters.

7.3. A minimum of 50 hours total time in model, with not less than five (5) hours in the model within the previous sixty (60) days.

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

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. Contractor support services shall include:

8.1. A thorough, one (1) -hour briefing for all USNTPS personnel covering aircraft systems, limitations, and procedures and safety, for the S-92A.

8.2. A contractor provided safety pilot to act as the pilot-in-command for all flights.

8.2.1. Records of safety pilot to be furnished to USNTPS Flight Operations.

9.0 USNTPS will pay the "wet" flight hour rate for actual flight time. Actual flight time for reporting purposes is defined in OPNAVINST 3710.7 Series. The rate includes all costs for the contractor safety pilot, airplane usage, maintenance and fuel.

10.0 Only USNTPS designated crew and Contractor safety crew personnel may be on the aircraft during the period of flight operations. The aircraft are for the sole use of USNTPS during the period of flight operations. 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:

http://www.navfac.navy.mil/products_and_services/am/products_and_services/afl/getting_started.html

10.2. Note that when DD Form 2400 states a Combined Single Limit amount and then follow it with the phrase "sub limited 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.
