(6) Price Statement of Work for Installation of Avionics on Rockwell Aero Commander AC-500S 1. Introduction This statement of work is for an avionics upgrade to be performed on one of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Aircraft Operations Center's (AOC) Rockwell Aero Commander AC-500S aircraft. It includes the following items: 1. The purchase and installation of an electronic horizontal situation indicator (E-HSI). 2. The purchase and installation of a panel-mounted GPS. 3. The removal of a Navcomm radio and ADF. 4. The wiring between an existing GPS and copilot HSI. This procurement and installation is for aircraft N51RF and is intended to replace outdated equipment currently installed on the aircraft as well as to provide added capability to meet the navigation and safety requirements of various scientific data collection missions. Completion of this work will serve to standardize N51RF's avionics configuration with that of NOAA AOC's other light aircraft. This allows pilot transitions between aircraft to be accomplished with little added training time and with no additional risk. To accomplish this goal, the items to be installed are: -One Garmin GNS-530W Nav/Com/GPS with GA35 WAAS GPS antenna. -One Sandel 3500 Electronic HSI. All items which are functionally replaced shall be removed. Components removed from the aircraft shall be returned to NOAA AOC. All items shall be installed to interface with the remaining avionics as appropriate. 2. Background The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Registration number for the aircraft to receive the installation is N51RF. The Rockwell serial number is 3298. The aircraft is based at the Flying Cloud airport (KFCM) at Executive Aviation. It operates throughout the United States conducting remote sensing and scientific survey missions. The aircraft will be available for inspection at the KFCM airport. Photos will be furnished on request. 3.
