A brief description of the UC-12B/F/M training requirements follows.

The UC-12 CACT Pilot and NFO program requires: Classroom (academic and practical) training, Cockpit Familiarization Trainers (CFT) for the UC-12B, UC-12F and UC-12M models that depicts all cockpit systems to be used for cockpit familiarization and differences training, a UC-12B Part Task Trainer (PTT) (for aircraft system training with trainee input and trainer response capability), an FAA Level ?C? equivalent simulator, and a C-12 (Raytheon/Beechcraft King Air BE-200) aircraft. The C-12 aircraft will be used for pre-flight inspection training and not flight training. In lieu of the PTT a higher order device may be used. The flight simulator must be FAA Level ?C? equivalent or higher (as defined under the current FAA Advisory Circular 120-40) for the Raytheon/Beechcraft King Air BE-200 configured to the Navy UC-12B cockpit. The flight simulator shall have an enhanced flight data package which provides realistic UC-12B flight characteristics and will be used in tasks that minimally include: Visual flight maneuvering, instrument navigation, transition to land, engine out work, dynamic engine cuts, full stalls, upset recovery, post stall flying characteristics, and various emergency procedures. The simulator shall also be equipped with a collimated visual display system capable of projecting a minimum 180-degree horizontal by a 40-degree vertical field of view and simulate day-dusk-dawn-night and various seasonal weather conditions. The visual system database shall have navigational aids and airfields as specified by the Navy to include a worldwide database of generic airfields with greater visual details and higher fidelity for the UC-12 Local Operating Areas. The courses must be presented at a flight-training center with a demonstrated record of providing C-12 military pilot training at the time of training. All contractor pilot instructors shall have applicable Military C-12 Instructor Pilot experience. The contractor will be required to submit training syllabi for each course for government approval.
