- Description
- NAVAIR is seeking various industry sources that can provide engineering (development, sustaining, and manufacturing), logistics and technical services, and depot level/major repair/modification support for the TH-6B for The United States Naval Test Pilot School (USNTPS). The aircraft are Army OH-6Bs converted to a variant of the FAA type certified MD-369H aircraft in order to utilize commercial operation and maintenance processes and are currently designated as the TH-6B. The USNTPS TH-6B is powered by an Allison 250-C-20B engine. The USNTPS TH-6B aircraft is unique in that it incorporates a crash resistant fuel cell system with a pressure refueling capability, as well as a gravity refill option. Four of the six TH-6B aircraft have Navy flight test instrumentation packages installed, and the other two are equipped with a Forward Looking Infrared System (FLIR) mounted on the right side with video monitors in the crew stations. The TH-6B is contractor maintained following the guidelines established by: a) applicable FAA regulations, notices and bulletins, b) processes and procedures promulgated by OPNAVINST 4790.2 (Series) and c) instructions and directions issued by PMA-207. This maintenance concept complies with OEM/FAA data, methods, processes and procedures to certify airworthiness and establish service life limits for non-developmental, off-the-shelf aircraft.
