Naval Test Pilot School USNTPS QUALITATIVE EVALUATION 1.0 Introduction: The U. S. Naval Test Pilot School (USNTPS) is acquiring flight demonstration flight support of its Qualitative Evaluation 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 up to [14] demonstration flight hours in a [S-55] aircraft to USNTPS student and instructor pilots to support the QE exercise. The flights will be conducted during the period [20 - 31 May 2019]. 3.2. Flight demonstrations shall take place at the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School which will require the contractor to ferry the aircraft to NAS Patuxent River, MD. The total of [14] flight hours does not include the ferry time required for transporting the aircraft to and from NAS Patuxent River. Ferry time for one flight from the contactor's location to Patuxent River and a return flight to the contractor's location for each aircraft will be priced at a fixed rate. Travel expenses for the contractor pilot will be costed separately and will be in accordance with Joint Travel Regulations. 4.0 Applicable Documents.

One [S-55] aircraft required to complete up to [14] hours of student/instructor flight demonstration exercises. 6.2. Aircraft is to be configured with dual flight controls (capable of being flown from the left or right seat). 6.3. 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. The safety pilot is to be FAA Certified Commercial Pilot rated in the [S-55] aircraft. 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 airplanes. 7.3.

Must have a current FAA Commercial pilot certificate with current medical qualifications and required aircraft certifications. 7.5. An initial safety pilot qualification flight and NAS Patuxent River local area familiarization will be completed prior to student flights, these flight are executed concurrent with hours specified in paragraph 6.1 at cost specified in paragraph 9.0. If the safety pilot has flown demonstration flights with USNTPS within the preceding year, the initial safety pilot qualification flight is not required. 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 briefing for all USNTPS personnel covering aircraft systems, limitations, procedures, and safety. 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. 8.3.

The contractor shall be responsible for transportation, accumulation, and turn-in of regulated and hazardous waste, waste oils/fuels if not previously agreed to. Material safety data sheets for all hazardous materials brought on station will be mailed to USNTPS, Hazardous Waste Program Manager, Code 55TP91A, at least two weeks prior to arrival. 8.4. Any flight gear specific to the aircraft type. 8.5. A fully operational [S-55] aircraft. 8.5.1. The provided aircraft must meet applicable FAA standards for the appropriate category and class. 8.5.2. The aircraft must be authorized to operate on one of the two fuels provided, JP-5 or JP-8. 8.5.3.

Access to the aircraft and associated maintenance records and logs for inspection by USNTPS during the period of performance. 8.7. Demonstration flight(s) totaling up to [14] hours for USNTPS student/instructor exercise to be conducted at NAS Patuxent River, MD. 9.0 During demonstration flights, USNTPS will pay the ‘dry" flight hour rate for actual flight time. Actual flight time for reporting purposes is defined in CNAF-M 3710.7 Series. The "dry" rate includes all costs for the Safety Pilot, airplane usage, and maintenance. USNTPS will provide either JP-5 or JP-8 during the demonstration flight only. Flight hour costs for the ferry time to and from NAS Patuxent River will be based on contractor provided fuel. USNTPS will provide hangar and flight line space for the duration of the demonstration flight period. In the event the aircraft requires extended maintenance, hangar space will be provided for up to two additional weeks. It remains the responsibility of the contractor to provide the maintenance of the aircraft. Government provided maintenance personnel will assist with aircraft movement into and out of the hangar. At the discretion of the USNTPS Maintenance Officer, limited maintenance assistance may be provided for routine maintenance tasks; however, USNTPS will not be held liable for their actions. 10.0 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 follows it with the phrase "sublimited 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. Bodily Injury PLUS Property Damage PLUS Per Passenger Seat Minimum Aircraft less than 12,500 lbs MGTOW $500,000 PLUS $500,000 PLUS $100,000 $1,000,000 PLUS $100,000 per passenger seat Aircraft 12,500 lbs and greater MGTOW $1,000,000 PLUS $1,000,000 PLUS $100,000 $2,000,000 PLUS $100,000 per passenger seat (1) (1) A percentage reduction applies 10.5 Minimum insurance requirements and landing permits must be received and verified prior to transit to and landing at NAS Patuxent River.
