- Description
- The contractor is to provide initial and recurrent ground school, simulator and flight training to commercial/instrument pilot standards for FAA inspectors/pilots in the Bell Helicopter 222/230 aircraft. The training hours specified in the price schedule are minimums. If the contractor's FAA approved training program contains less time than the specified hours, the contractor shall supplement their approved program with additional ground school/flight training as necessary to meet the solicitation requirements. The contractor may, within the limits of their approved program, delete company specific training such as employee/customer relations, filling out company forms, or other items not related to the completion of the FAA type rating or proficiency check and substitute additional solicitation required training. When responding to this solicitation, the contractor is required to submit a copy of their FAA approved training program, along with proposed supplemental additions/changes. The copy of the approved program submitted must include a course syllabus, including proposed additions/changes, in sufficient detail to determine compliance with the minimum hourly requirements of the solicitation. Training of FAA pilot/inspectors is not to be conducted between the hours of midnight and 6:00 a.m., including flight pre and post briefings. A maximum of four hours flight instruction per day or eight hours of ground school per day per inspector class is permitted. To maintain continuity between flight training sessions, the contractor is requested to minimize the switching of flight instructors between sessions. FAA personnel do not ordinarily operate the aircraft in which they are rated on a regular basis. Therefore, it is necessary that they receive the most complete review possible when attending recurrent training. If the contractor's approved program allows for a partial review of systems and procedures during successive recurrent training periods, it is required that the contractor supplement their approved program to achieve a complete review for FAA pilot/inspectors during each recurrent course. FAA personnel are usually performing other job functions prior to assignment to training and normally do not have time to devote to pre-course study. Additionally, due to circumstances beyond the control of the FAA or the pilot/inspector, a pilot/inspector may be assigned to training with short notice. If the contractor's approved program requires pre-course study prior to the trainee's arrival at the contractor's training facility, the contractor is required to supplement their approved course to allow for required pre-course study to be accomplished at the contractor's facility after the pilot/inspector's arrival. Such ground instruction must either be classroom or computer based training in accordance with the General Training Requirements of the solicitation.
