The following individual pilot and NFO (Naval Flight Officer) training courses are required for the B200 UC-12F/M: B200 ProLine 21 Introductory/Indoctrination Course (or equivalent for students unfamiliar with ProLine 21), UC-12F/M (B200) ProLine 21 Pilot/NFO Initial Plus Training, UC-12F/M ProLine 21 Pilot Recurrent Training, and UC-12F/M ProLine 21 Aircrew Member/NFO Initial Training. The ProLine 21 Pilot/NFO Initial Plus course is required to support the UC-12F/M ProLine 21 Simulator development/reconfiguration and Fleet Replacement Squadron (FRS) curriculum. This course will be used to train basic qualified military pilots (helicopter and/or fixed-wing) to fully qualified UC-12 pilots ready for operational assignments and will conclude with a NATOPS Qualification Check Flight. The following individual pilot and NFO (Naval Flight Officer) training courses are required for the UC-12W (B350): UC-12W (B350) ProLine 21 Introductory/Indoctrination Course (or equivalent for students unfamiliar with ProLine 21); UC-12W (B350) ProLine 21 Pilot Initial Plus Training, UC-12W (B350) ProLine 21 Pilot Recurrent Training, UC-12W (B350) ProLine 21 Aircrew Member/NFO Initial Plus Training, and UC-12W (B350) ProLine 21 Aircrew Member/NFO Recurrent Training. The UC-12W Pilot and NFO Initial Plus training course will be used to train basic qualified military pilots (helicopter and/or fixed-wing) to fully qualified UC-12 pilots ready for operational assignments and will conclude with a NATOPS Qualification Check Flight. The UC-12 ProLine 21 CACT Pilot and NFO program requires; classroom (academic and practical) training; Cockpit Familiarization Trainers (CFT) for the UC-12F/M (B200) ProLine 21 and UC-12W (B350) ProLine 21 models that depict all cockpit systems to be used for cockpit familiarization and ProLine 21 training; a UC-12F/M (B200) ProLine 21 and UC-12W (B350) ProLine 21 Part Task Trainer (PTT) (for aircraft system training with trainee input and trainer response capability); and FAA certified or equivalent Level “C” or higher UC-12F/M (B200) ProLine 21 and UC-12W (B350) ProLine 21 simulators. In lieu of the PTT a higher order device may be used. The flight simulator(s) must be FAA certified or equivalent to Level “C” or higher (as defined under FAA Advisory Circular 120-40B) for the Raytheon/Beechcraft King Air B200 ProLine 21 (configured to the UC-12F/M ProLine 21 cockpit) and Super King Air B350 (configured to the UC-12W ProLine 21 cockpit) aircraft. The flight simulator(s) shall provide realistic UC-12F/M and UC-12W 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(s) shall also be equipped with a collimated visual display system capable of projecting a minimum 150-degree horizontal by a 40-degree vertical field of view and simulate day-dusk-dawn-night and various seasonal weather conditions. Attached are detailed descriptions of the UC-12F/M (B200) ProLine 21 and UC-12W (B350) ProLine 21 aircraft. Interested offerors are requested to describe any current or potential simulators or trainers to be used for this effort. Proposed alternative training systems, trainers or simulators are encouraged, providing a minimal FAA level C (or equivalent) UC-12F/M (B200) and UC-12W (B350) full flight simulator is provided for training. The courses must be presented at a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 142 certified training center for the Beechcraft King Air B200 and B350 aircraft or 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 be FAA certified and/or have applicable Military C-12 Instructor Pilot experience. The contractor will be required to submit training syllabi for each course for government approval.
