- Description
- The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) is seeking potential sources to support the Chief of Naval Aviation Training ™s (CNATRA) TC-12B (Navy configured Raytheon/Beechcraft King Air BE-200) pilot training program. The following individual pilot training courses are required: The Chief of Naval Aviation Training (CNATRA) requires the following individual pilot training courses: Advanced Multi-Engine MPTS Flight Training (CNATRAINST 1542.147); Multi-Engine Flight Instructor and Transition Training (CNATRAINST 1542.153); Advanced Tiltrotor TC-12B Flight Training (CNATRAINST 1542.145). Additional requirements include conducting Flight Checks, VIP/Winging Events and additional Simulator training as required. The purpose of the Advanced Multi-Engine MPTS Flight Training is to develop multi-engine flight skills while emphasizing instrument flying and crew coordination. At the successful completion of this training the flight student will be designated a naval aviator or USAF pilot qualified in multi-engine aircraft, and will have earned a standard instrument rating. The purpose of the Multi-Engine Flight Instructor and Transition Training is to provide designated aviators with appropriate flight procedures, instructional methodologies and techniques to instruct undergraduate flight students in the Advanced Multi-Engine MPTS and Intermediate E-2/C-2 phases of flight training. The Transition Training will prepare designated pilots with dissimilar flying experience for Naval Test Pilot School or for duty with a Maritime Patrol Fleet Replacement Squadron. The above listed Multi-Engine Flight Instructor and Transition Training can also be performed in the following separate and distinct training blocks: a) Copilot MPTS Training - Copilot MPTS Training is the first block of Multi-Engine Flight Instructor Training and consists of the systems course as well as the first five CPT events. b) Aircraft Commander Upgrade Training - Aircraft Commander training is the second block of Transition Training and consists of two (2) basic instrument and three (3) radio instrument simulator events. c) Flight Instructor Upgrade Training - Flight Instructor training is the third and final block of Transition Training. The purpose of the Advanced Tiltrotor TC-12B Flight Training is to develop multi-engine flight skills while emphasizing instrument flying and crew coordination. At the successful completion of this phase of aviation training, the student will enter Advanced MV-22 helicopter training. Flight Checks are required for Flight Instructors and Winged Aviators and are flown as recurrent training. Training is a single, 1.5-hour simulator event flown for proficiency. VIP/Winging Events are special events that are public relations in nature. These events are in direct support of Student Winging days and take place approximately every three weeks on average. Additional Simulator time will be used in support of student training as required. CNATRA currently provides in-house TC-12B pilot training through various sources, including both Government and contractor personnel and equipment. The contractor will be required to provide: all certified instructors, two (2) TC-12B Flight Training Devices (FTD), support personnel required to operate and maintain the devices and any additional labor required for supervising and administering classroom and simulator training; and data rights for any contractor specific materials for this contracted training. The Government shall provide: Facilities to support two (2) TC-12B FTDs and associated contract personnel, all required course curriculums/syllabi, and any additional Government specific courseware/materials needed for the training of TC-12B pilots. These TC-12B training courses require both classroom academic and practical training using two (2) TC-12B FTDs. The FTDs required shall simulate the performance and functional operation of the TC-12B aircraft and shall minimally meet FAA Level 6 FTD certification requirements as defined under current FAA Advisory Circular 120-45A (FAA certification is not required). In addition, the FTDs shall provide a freeze and reset capability and a minimum of a three-channel visual system capable of projecting a minimum 200-degree horizontal by a 40-degree vertical field of view and simulate VMC, IMC, day, and night conditions. The contractor shall provide training in Building 1824 at NAS Corpus Christi, Texas. The contractor shall use the Government-furnished facilities and course syllabi in conducting all classroom and simulator training. All instructors shall; have a minimum of 1,000 flight hours, have knowledge of Department of Defense (DOD) rules and regulations governing aircraft operations, and be either a prior military pilot or possess an FAA flight instructor certificate with an instrument rating. NOTE: The TC-12B training program is scheduled to be terminated in approximately FY17 as training currently conducted on the TC-12B FTDs transfers over to T-44C FTDs and training program. Businesses (large or small) having the capabilities and facilities, including existing simulators, are invited to submit the following: 1) Description of capabilities as they relate to the above requirements; 2) Business size/status (NAICS code for this requirement is 611512, size standard - $25.5M); and 3) Listing of contracts performing similar services (past or present), including references. Responses will serve as a basis for the government's decision to fulfill this requirement under a SBD, SB, full and open, or sole source acquisition. Responses or questions are requested to be sent to alan.wright@navy.mil, but can be faxed to 407-380-4742, or mailed to: Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division; ATTN: A. Wright - 25322; 12350 Research Pkwy.; Orlando, FL 32826-3275. This announcement is for planning purposes only and should not be construed as a commitment by the government to procure the requirements described. The solicitation is not available at this time.
