Description

Quantity of One to Six PC-based Flight Simulators will be used to = allow aviation students to gain assimilated hands-on experience of = flying mock-up of a T-4 aircraft. Flight Simulators will provide a = visual assimilations, switches, chart recorders, gauges, meters, etc of = an actual cockpit. Visual Presentation: As a minimum requirement, = visual assimilations should include should include visual picture = database of the U.S. region and by state, integrated with IFR Flight = (Approaches/Navaids), basic airfield lighting, standard day/night, and = weather which can be input by instructor. The assimilation experience = should provide capacity for aviation students sitting inside the = cockpit to see the other aircraft mock-up in the formation. = Instructor/Student Configuration: Flight Simulators must have the = capacity to be integrated into instructor stations. Specifically, = flight simulators must have the capacity to integrate a minimum of 4 = student stations into 1 instructor station, i.e., two student stations = per cockpit mock-up. Cockpit Seating Capacity: Flight Simulators = should have two side-by-side seats in the cockpit. The two seats should = be fully equipped as student stations. Cockpit should be a visual = replica of an actual cockpit. Cockpit should be covered but models = without a cover will be considered as well. =20 Cockpit Communication System: Simulators should have a communication = systems within the cockpit to provide exchanges with other Flight = Simulator(s) relevant to the formation. The purpose would be to give = the student visual as well as audio-experience while role playing = critical situations that requires one aircraft to communicate with = another. The communication link(s) should enable voice communication = between the instructor(s) and student(s). Communications Equipment: Minimum requirements include mock ups of = VHF, VHF/UHF, IFF. Basic Instruments: Basic instrument panels for each = seat should be representations or simulated. As a minimum the other = instruments to be included for each student station are as follows: = HIS, ADI with pitch/bank steering bars, single engine instruments (one = set), VVI, airspeed indicator (cruise speed 275 or greater, altimeter = (ceiling of a minimum FL 350), gear and flap indicator, stopwatch = (timer), ILS/LOC/VOR, DME, TACAN. Mock-Up Aircraft Type: Flight = Simulators should provide a visual assimilation of a single engine = turbo prop with retractable landing gear. Flight controls should = include a force feedback with 2 yokes (or 2 sticks), and 1-2 throttles = located in the center of the flight controls. Standard Commercial = Warrant on Parts & Labor, 40 hours Operator Training.
