DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

1.1 MISSION REQUIREMENTS

1.1.1 INITIAL FLIGHT TRAINING (IFT) ROLE. IFT is the first step in the Air Force Undergraduate Flying Training (UFT) process. IFT provides ground training and 10 sorties/13.8 hours (Combat Systems Officer (CSO) syllabus), 14 sorties/18 hours (pilot syllabus), and 27 sorties/39.3 hours (Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) syllabus) of flight instruction to students in preparation for Undergraduate CSO Training (UCSOT), Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training (SUPT), and Undergraduate RPA raining (URT).

1.1.2 PARTNERING. To successfully accomplish the mission and provide flight training to officers, the Government and the Contractor shall develop and maintain an open relationship. This open relationship and the recognition that each partner is an expert in its own right are the keys to a successful partnership. Based on the recognition that the Contractor is an expert in flight training, this performance work statement (PWS) requires the Contractor to comply with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements under Code of Federal Regulations, Title 14, Part 61. The Government requires certain programs and training to enhance safety and to establish the standards by which the Contractor shall be measured. As an expert, the Contractor shall have a thorough understanding of the work required to meet the standards identified in this PWS that are consistent with the commercial industry and in accordance with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations. The Government’s expectations, with regard to the minimum acceptable standards for the facilities supplied by the Contractor under this program, will be guided by the general principles contained in Air Force Manual (AFMAN) 32-1084, Facility Requirements. In forming its specific evaluation criteria, the Government will draw upon the general principles set forth in AFMAN 32-1084 to evaluate the facilities proposed by the contractor. Additionally, it will be essential to maintain a positive relationship and open dialogue with the local community, especially in a location unfamiliar with military flight operations. Particular interest will be paid to the Contractor's willingness and ability to keep the local public informed of their operations and address any concerns that might arise from this flying program through Town Hall meetings or contact with community leaders. During the performance period, the Government encourages the Contractor to propose any innovations that may lead to increased efficiencies and/or performance.

1.2 SCOPE OF WORK.

a. For quality assurance purposes, the Government retains program oversight, but will not exercise direct supervision over Contractor employees performing services under this contract, except in the instance and interest of safety or national emergency. The Contractor shall provide all services necessary to conduct Air Force Initial Flight Training. The purpose of the IFT program is to ensure that all pilot, CSO, and RPA candidates receive flight instruction and complete the syllabuses at Appendix A-2. If a pilot, CSO, or RPA pilot student completes the appropriate IFT syllabus requirements and passes the final flight evaluation prior to flying the specified number of hours, that student shall be considered program complete. To ensure that all

Page 3 of 44

students receive the required training, the Contractor shall provide all personnel, including certified flight instructors (CFIs), aircraft, training aids, supervision, materials, maintenance, equipment, and services necessary to perform flight training as defined in this PWS. The Government will install a military structure that will be responsible for, and have command authority over the IFT students while they are in residence. The Government will supply IFT students with all necessary flight clothing and equipment appropriate to this initial phase of military aviator training.

b. The Government reserves the right to change, by contract modification, the total student load from 750 per year to 1950 per year for pilot, CSO and RPA candidates. The Contractor shall provide the capability to conduct a minimum of 18,000 and a maximum of 40,000 hours of flight training annually, as specified in the workload estimates in Appendix A-1.

c. The Contractor shall provide support for the following required flying missions, to include but not limited to: IFT student training sorties, new hire training sorties, military flight instructor (MFI) flight check and checkride preparation sorties (initial and recurring flight checks should normally be flown as local student profile sorties), flight instructor Buddy IP, AETCI 11-219, Initial Flight Training, and MFI continuation training (CT) required sorties.

d. The Contractor shall provide security or arrange to have security provided for all on-campus personnel, training facilities and aircraft.

e. The Contractor shall provide crash/fire/rescue/ ambulance or arrange to have crash/fire/rescue/ ambulance provided at the primary and auxiliary airfields.

f. The Contractor shall provide office space for the military personnel assigned to the 1 FTS.

g. The Contractor shall, without charge to the students, provide lodging and meal service while the students attend IFT.

h. The Contractor shall, without charge to the students, provide access to a running track or an open area with a running circuit, and access to a gym environment possessing both aerobic and weight training equipment. In accordance with training syllabus requirements, three to four hours per week will be allocated to supervised physical conditioning.

i. The Contractor shall provide a means to transport students between the training facilities and nearby airports that provide scheduled airline service.Note: IFT is an evolving program. Requirements identified in the PWS may require modification as the program changes. Changes may include adjustment of flight hours, mutually agreed upon changes to the workload estimates, student class sizes, certification requirements, changes to the Government provided syllabuses, and other modifications as necessary to ensure an effective flight training program.

1.2.1 FLIGHT TRAINING PROGRAM. The objective of the IFT program is to enhance the students’ ability to succeed in UFT by beginning the development of the student’s aviation skills

Page 4 of 44

and ability to learn in a UFT-like environment while motivating the students for aviation careers. This program shall train students as stipulated in the appropriate IFT syllabus.

1.2.1.1 Program Admission and Graduation Requirements.

1.2.1.1.1 Student Experience. The skill level of entering students will vary from no previous flying experience to limited private or military flying experience. For students with prior flight experience or exceptional abilities, the Contractor shall evaluate the student's skill level and advance pilot or CSO students through the flying syllabuses based on their demonstrated proficiency. RPA pilot students will not be proficiency advanced. No students shall be proficiency advanced through academics and ground training.

1.2.1.1.2 Student Load. The projected student load and training flow plan are included in the Workload Estimates, Appendix 1. Workloads may be accelerated, within Government financial and student scheduling constraints, when the Contractor is capable of accepting an increased student load. In spite of the best forecasting efforts, deviations may occur. The Contractor shall honor short-term (calendar quarter) variations + / - 50 students. Should variations exceed 50 students; a 60-calendar day notification will be given to the Contractor to allow time to adjust personnel and schedules. The Government will allow maximum flexibility to the Contractor should the Workload Estimate increase/decrease by more than 100 students. The Contractor is expected to partner with the Government to handle these deviations. IFT attrition will vary from class to class based on student capabilities. The course attrition rate is not a fixed minimum or maximum percentage.

1.2.1.1.3 Schedule. Students are scheduled to complete training in 18/22/37 training days, which equates to approximately 24/30/51 calendar days (CSO/pilot/RPA). The Contractor shall coordinate the annual class schedule with HQ AETC/A3R and A3F. The Contractor may request the number of training days scheduled be modified to improve efficiency of operations. Normally, training days are Monday through Friday. Weekends and holidays may only be scheduled as training days with the approval of the IFT Program Manager (PM) and the chief contracting officer’s representative (COR). Students will be assigned full time and the Contractor shall determine their daily schedule. The Contractor will partner with 1st Flying Training Squadron (FTS) personnel to develop the in-processing schedule and procedures, the first training day’s schedule, and the physical fitness schedule.

1.2.1.1.4 Long-Term Variation. It is the intention of the Government to provide approximately 800 up to approximately 1,900 students per calendar year dependent on the needs of the USAF (Appendix A-1). A maximum of 2,000 students per year is possible dependent on the eventual needs of the government.

1.2.1.1.5 Projected Graduation Dates. The Contractor shall be responsible for meeting programmed graduation dates, except for variable factors beyond Contractor control, such as: student training which requires sorties outside of the normal syllabus flow (e.g., additional training (AT), progress check (PC), elimination check (EC) sorties), abnormal weather, student medical status, aircraft or student availability due to Government action, and program guidance

Page 5 of 44

changes. Documentation of those factors which are beyond Contractor control must be forwarded to the Chief COR and maintained to substantiate reasons for late graduation.

1.2.1.2 Training Syllabuses and Training Plans. The Contractor shall conduct training IAW the AETC IFT syllabuses, Appendix A-2. HQ AETC/A3, in the spirit of partnering, will work with the Contractor and Chief COR to continually fine-tune the IFT syllabuses. The Contractor will develop and implement specific, detailed training plans for each sortie required by the IFT Syllabuses.

1.2.1.2.1 Academics / Equipment Provided. The Contractor shall provide the instructors, facilities, and equipment necessary to instruct the academic portion of the IFT program. The Contractor will develop academic courseware/curriculums to support the IFT syllabuses and submit the courseware/curriculums to the Chief COR for approval at the pre-performance conference and annually thereafter. The Contractor will be expected to modify academic courseware/curriculums to match future changes made to the IFT syllabuses and to improve the ground training. Only Certified Flight Instructors (CFI) or Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)-rated ground instructors may instruct academics. The Contractor shall provide feedback to instructors to ensure high quality ground training.

1.2.1.2.2 Additional Training (Military Requirements Standup). The Contractor shall work with the Government to develop mass briefings that provide IFT students with a “UFT-like” experience. The Contractor shall be prepared to give briefings on a daily basis, but may request Government approval to conduct individual briefings if scheduling or training needs dictate. Briefings shall include, as a minimum, actual and forecast weather, current Flight Crew Information File (FCIF), Notices to Airmen (NOTAM), Emergency Procedures (EP), and operational notes of interest to the aircrew. If more time is available (i.e., flying is delayed due to weather), the briefings should be expanded to include such items as safety and various applicable aviation topics.

1.2.1.2.3 Flight Safety Briefings. The Contractor shall conduct a quarterly flight safety briefing for all flight instructors. The Contractor shall maintain attendance records and ensure those absent from the briefing review the material presented prior to performing a flight related event.

1.2.1.3 Training Schedule.

1.2.1.3.1 Airfield Hours of Operation. Normal operating hours for flight operations other than RPA night flights are Monday through Friday, sunrise -30 minutes to sunset +30 minutes, as recorded by the National Almanac Office, U.S. Naval Observatory, Wash DC 20390. Saturday and / or Sunday flying, while not normally planned, may be authorized by the Chief COR. The Contractor may fly on a weekend, if coordinated with the IFT Program Manager and Chief COR. If MFI support is required for weekend flying, coordination must take place not later than the Thursday preceding the weekend during which flight operations are to occur. Authorization for weekend flying is not guaranteed.

1.2.1.3.2 Holiday Scheduling. Flying on Federal holidays, while not normally planned, may be authorized by the IFT Program Manager and Chief COR. The Contractor may fly on a Federal

Page 6 of 44

holiday, if coordinated with the IFT Program Manager and Chief COR. (AETC Family Days are not considered Federal holidays.) If MFI support is required for federal holiday flying, coordination must take place not later than two days preceding the holiday during which flight operations are to occur. Authorization for holiday flying is not guaranteed.

1.2.1.3.3 Student Report Times. The Contractor shall determine student daily reporting and departure times. When variations to the normal schedule are necessary, they shall be made at least 24 hours in advance, unless the Chief COR or designated representative approves the variations a minimum of 12 hours in advance. The Contractor shall immediately notify the Military Liaison Officer (MiLO) when factors change the flying schedule. Student reporting and departure times shall allow for adequate crew rest.

1.2.1.3.4 Crew Rest. Crew rest is required for students and MFIs prior to in-flight duties. The crew rest period is normally a minimum 12-hour non-duty period before the flight duty period (FDP) begins. Its purpose is to ensure the aircrew member is adequately rested before performing flight or flight related duties. Crew rest is free time, which includes time for meals, transportation, physical training, and rest. Rest is defined as a condition that allows an individual the opportunity to sleep. AF aircrews require an opportunity for at least 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep during the 12 hours immediately prior to the FDP. If an aircrew member remains after flying to perform official duties, the crew rest period begins after termination of these duties. Crew rest is required prior to any of the following flight related duties: mission planning and briefing, preflight, start, and taxi aircraft.

1.2.1.3.5 Crew Rest Interruptions. Any official business required of a student or MFI interrupts the crew rest period. This includes official business conducted on the telephone. If crew rest is interrupted so that an individual cannot get an opportunity for at least eight hours of uninterrupted sleep, the individual must be afforded the opportunity for at least eight more hours of uninterrupted sleep plus reasonable time to dress, eat, travel, etc. Any crew rest interruptions must be made only under the most exceptional circumstances. Each aircrew member is responsible for ensuring they receive the proper rest during crew rest periods and they do not engage in activities that would prevent the opportunity to obtain at least eight hour of uninterrupted sleep. If crew rest is violated for an individual, it is the individual’s responsibility to inform their supervisor (civilian and military, as appropriate) and remove themselves from the flight schedule, if required.

1.2.1.3.6 Flight Duty Period (FDP). A period that starts when a student or MFI reports for a mission briefing or other official duty and ends when the engine is shut down at the end of their last mission of the day. The maximum FDP is 12 hours.

1.2.1.3.7 Daily Flying Schedule. The Contractor shall prepare a daily flying schedule designed to maximize student-training opportunities, reduce pattern saturation, make best use of available airfields and airspace, and reduce the mid-air collision potential. The Contractor shall provide the Daily Flying Schedule to the Chief COR mor designated representative not later than (NLT) one hour after the last flight of students is released. The flying schedule shall be maintained with a computer-based program. The Contractor shall develop a method of scheduling airspace that

Page 7 of 44

provides aircraft accountability, and ensures that no more than one aircraft is in a block of training airspace at one time.

1.2.1.3.8 Weekly Flying Schedule. The Contractor shall also prepare a Weekly Flying Schedule. The Contractor shall provide the Weekly Flying Schedule to the Chief COR or designated representative no later than 1000 on Thursday the week prior (the previous duty day if Thursday is a holiday). The weekly schedule is intended to be sortie based (Contractor’s scope of flying activities for the week), while the daily schedule is intended to match instructors and students against those sorties to accomplish specific syllabus activities.

1.2.1.4 Flying Training Area. The Contractor shall coordinate with the FAA, other appropriate government, and local agencies when designating the local flying area boundaries, standard flight routes, and training areas to avoid conflicting with other using agencies. The Contractor shall have available for review by the Government a copy of the National Environmental Policy Act documentation covering their levels of aircraft operations, their airfields, to include auxiliary airfields and their training airspace. The Contractor shall have available for review by the Government an acknowledgement that states they are aware of and within the operational limits described in these documents. The Contractor shall ensure flight instructors comply with local area procedures as specified in operating instructions. Any proposed changes to the local flying area procedures by the Contractor shall be approved in advance by the Chief COR. The Contractor shall provide and distribute the Chief COR-approved local area map. A copy of this chart shall be maintained in each flight room and at the Contractor’s operations desk. A monthly review of obstacle data for the local area and visual flight rules (VFR)-navigation maps shall be accomplished and maps updated, as required.

1.2.1.4.1 Mid-Air Collision Avoidance. The Contractor shall work with local flying agencies to review at least annually the mid-air collision avoidance program, and update it as necessary. The program shall include provisions to inform other airport users of the magnitude of IFT flying operations, the hours of typically high IFT operations tempo, the boundaries and altitudes of IFT training areas, and the normal transit routes IFT will use flying to and from the training areas. The program shall be updated to reflect changes in IFT training areas, routes, or standard operating procedures. Program revisions must be approved by the Chief COR before distribution.

1.2.1.5 Airfield Operating Procedures. At each airfield used for student training, the Contractor shall comply with all applicable federal aviation regulations (FARs) and airfield operating procedures as specified by the airport management. If an airfield does not have specified operating procedures, the contractor must develop procedures. The contractor must submit airfield operating procedures to the Chief COR for approval at the pre-performance conference and prior to use of any airfield thereafter. All airfield operating procedures shall include the maximum number of airplanes that may operate in the pattern, including non-IFT aircraft, and the maximum number of solo students that may operate in the pattern. Airfield procedures will be reviewed at least annually and updated as required.

Page 8 of 44

1.2.1.5.1 Airfield Specifications. Runways used for IFT student training must be a minimum of 50 feet wide and 2,500 feet long. Before a runway is used for student training, the contractor must gain Chief COR approval.

1.2.1.6 Use of Military Airfields. Upon request, the government may allow the contractor to operate at towered and not-towered military airfields. The contractor must coordinate use of these airfields with the appropriate agencies and complete a letter of agreement prior to using the airfield.

1.2.1.7 Scheduling Breaks. A student flying break of two weeks will be scheduled in the late December - early January timeframe.

1.2.1.7.1 High Priority Events. Occasionally a higher priority event may preclude a student (or entire class) from accomplishing an IFT event. The Government will identify deviations as early as possible.

1.2.1.8 Instructor and Aircrew Requirements.

1.2.1.8.1 Certified Flight Instructors. Contractor CFIs must have two years of CFI experience or have logged 100 hours as a flight instructor, and must have completed a “new hire” program, which will include a briefing by the Chief COR, before giving flight instruction to IFT students. Two years prior experience as a military instructor pilot will satisfy the two-year CFI requirement. Once each six months, all flight instructors shall fly at least one sortie in which two instructors fly together to share instructional techniques. A normal Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 61 CFI certificate renewal check flight can satisfy this requirement. The government Chief COR or designated representative reserves the right to designate a MFI to fly with a Contractor CFI on these sorties. Contractor CFls may be asked to participate in the student elimination process and training review boards. Participation in these processes is restricted to Contractor CFls who have flown with the student in question or supervisory personnel deemed necessary to complete the review.

1.2.1.8.2 Military Flight Instructors. The Government will provide up to ten MFIs (one commander, one operations officer, and up to eight instructor pilots) that the Contractor shall utilize. The number of MFIs will be proportional to the student load. The proportion of MFIs to students and the total number of MFIs may change based on the syllabus requirements, HQ directives, and total student load. The Contractor’s flight schedule shall not depend on a military flight instructor to fly any particular sortie except as required by the IFT syllabuses or local military policy (e.g., PC/EC pilot requirements.) MFI availability will be maximized when there are high numbers of checkrides. If coordinated in advance IAW para 1.2.1.3.1 and 1.2.1.3.2, MFIs will be available to fly on weekends and federal holidays. All military instructors must have a current FAA single engine CFI certificate to fly with students. To begin “new hire” training, all military instructors must possess an FAA CFI certificate. They will receive the same “new hire” checkout as contractor CFIs, but may require additional sorties to prepare them for a Form 8 checkride and single engine CFI certification. The Contractor shall allow two military instructors, qualified in the aircraft, or a solo military instructor, to fly the Contractor’s aircraft. Once each six months, MFIs shall fly at least one sortie in which two instructors fly together to

Page 9 of 44

share instructional techniques. Military flight checks can satisfy this requirement. Military instructors will provide their own equipment except headsets. The Contractor shall schedule and track FAA- and Doss-stipulated requirements for all flight instructors, including MFIs. Any military-specific training or flying requirements (e.g., AFI 202 Vol I/II) for MFIs shall be tracked by the Chief COR or designated representative. The Government may provide additional military instructors during the contract period. The contractor shall be responsible for maintaining normal student production quotas regardless of the status of military flight instructor manning.

1.2.1.8.3 Aircrew Requirements. The Contractor shall develop a checklist system to ensure only fully qualified aircrew and aircraft are assigned for a flight. As a minimum, Go / No-Go items shall include Flight Crew Information File, Read File (which will include continuation and safety meeting minutes), NOTAMs, Duty Not Including Flying (DNIF) status, flight instructor currency, medical certificate, and flight maneuver currencies. This data shall be readily available in the operations desk area. The Government- provided Graduate Training Integration Management System (GTIMS) may be used to help satisfy this requirement.

1.2.1.8.4 USAF Aircrew Requirements. Military aircrew members, both students and instructors, have to comply with USAF instructions/requirements. Some of those instructions/requirements are more restrictive than the FARs. The Chief COR shall provide the Contractor a memo, which lists the USAF guidance that is more restrictive than the FARs and that must be followed. The memo will be reviewed at least annually and updated as required.

1.2.1.9 Security Requirements. The Contractor shall ensure adequate security is provided for the Contractor-provided facilities, aircraft, IFT students, and permanent party personnel.

1.2.1.10 Emergency, Fire, Crash and Rescue Requirements. The Contractor shall ensure the availability of emergency, fire, crash and rescue services. Crash and rescue services must be located on the airport or immediately adjacent to the airport during all flight training operations.

1.2.1.11 Student Transportation. The Contractor shall provide a means to transport students between the training facilities and nearby airports that provide scheduled airline service. This service must be provided at convenient intervals and on a schedule known in advance to students planning to arrive and depart IFT by commercial airline.

1.2.1.12. Contractor Instructors/Trainers Professional and Unprofessional Relationships.

1.2.1.12.1. The Contractor shall comply with AETCI 36-2909, Professional and Unprofessional Relationships, and will take immediate action to resolve violations of the prohibition on unprofessional relationships. Specifically, the Contractor should understand the following:

1.2.1.12.2. Unprofessional relationships include relationships involving faculty, staff, trainees, cadets, students, recruiters, recruits, applicants, and first-term Airmen who participate in the Recruiter Assistance Program (RAPpers). Whether pursued on or off duty relationships are unprofessional when they detract from the authority of superiors or result in (or reasonably create the appearance of) favoritism, misuse of office or position, or the abandonment of organizational

Page 10 of 44

goals for personal interests. Unprofessional relationships include relationships between officers; between enlisted members; between officers and enlisted members; between recruiters and recruits, applicants, or RAPpers; between RAPpers and recruits or applicants; and between military personnel and civilian employees or contractor personnel.

1.2.1.12.3. If practices, techniques, personal appearance, or conduct of Contractor personnel becomes detrimental to the accomplishment of the mission as determined by the USG, the CO will provide written notification of such conditions to the Contractor. Following such notification, the Contractor shall remedy the situation within 24 hours. In addition, the USG reserves the right to pursue other remedies available under the provisions of this contract as necessary.

1.2.1.13. Contract Manpower Reporting. The contractor shall report all un-loaded direct labor hours and unburdened direct labor dollars required for performance of services provided under this contract. After the prime contractor has reported its data, subcontractors are required to report their information. The prime contractor has overall responsibility for ensuring subcontractors enter their respective data. The contractor must completely fill in all required data fields.

1.2.1.13.1 The Contractor Manpower Reporting Application (CMRA) secure data website (http://www.ecmra.mil ) is the collection point for this information.
