- COMMAND AIR CREW TRAINING (CACT) PROGRAM FOR ACADEMIC AND SIMULATOR TRAINING ON THE C-40A AIRCRAFT PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE NAVAIR Orlando Training Systems Division has a requirement to support the Navy's Command Aircraft Crew Training (CACT) Program. The following training courses are required: C-40A Maintenance Training: Standard Course, C-40A Mobile Maintenance Training: Standard Course, and C-40A Aircraft Rigging Maintenance Training. This effort includes providing all labor, equipment, training facilities (excluding mobile course facilities as noted below), tools, training materials, training devices, administration, supervision and other services necessary for training for maintenance personnel of the Navy's C-40A (Boeing 737-700C Increased Gross Weight (IGW) configured for the U.S. Navy). Courses are stand-alone in that no contractor, pre-arrival training requirements of the trainee will be allowed. Courses may be existing commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) training courses modified to meet specific requirements delineated herein. The Navy must approve all course-training syllabi (Approved Training Syllabus (ATS)). The contractor will be required to submit a training syllabus for each course for government approval. The C-40A Maintenance Training Standard Course is a combined Airframe, Power plant, Avionics, and Electrical training course. The C-40A Mobile Maintenance Training Standard Course is the mobile version of this course which will be conducted at a Government provided site. These courses shall provide practical training and repair application on general aircraft systems with focus on C-40A (Boeing 737-700C IGW) airframe, power plant systems, electrical /avionics systems. Trainees completing this training course(s) shall have reviewed all areas relative to the C-40A’s (Boeing 737-700C IGW) airframe, power plant systems, electrical, and avionics systems with emphasis in trouble shooting/test, removal, and adjustment/replacement/repair at a component level. Trainees must pass a final exam. The C-40A Maintenance Training course shall be capable of meeting ATA Specification 104 Level II or higher criteria. The Mobile version of this course will be conducted at a Government provided facility. Instructors shall have an Airframe and Power Plant (A&P) License and demonstrated, practical knowledge and experience in the Boeing 737 next generation (NG) aircraft. The A&P may be waived in cases where demonstrated, practical experience is extensive. The contractor shall provide for all courses actual or mock components (avionics, engines, engine components, etc.) in order to provide real-life hands-on training, a Systems Familiarization Trainer/(SFT-low cost mockup) or equivalent higher order training device depicting cockpit and/or aircraft systems for trainee's to practice systems checks, identify equipment, observe aircraft system operations and review checklists. The contractor shall provide for courses, where identified, a Maintenance Systems Training Device (MSTD) that depicts specific applications and/or aircraft systems (e.g., avionics, electrical). The MSTD training device shall be an interactive trainer capable of student input and trainer system indications/ responses (action-reaction capability). Maintenance Systems Training Device(s) (not a visual or motion simulator) training periods shall minimally include applicable safety and maintenance systems checks compliant to course ATA 104 level requirements. Use of aircraft full flight simulators (used in training pilots) is not desired if use causes added cost value to the contract. Trainees must pass a course final exam. Training Locations: Courses taught at a Contractor training site must be within 30 minutes of commercial lodging and eating establishments. Training shall take place in an environmentally conducive, contractor facility for learning. Additionally, upon request, Navy directed maintenance training shall be conducted at a Government specified site (mobile). The Navy will provide an environmentally conducive classroom, chalk/marker board, projector screen, VCR and overhead projector for mobile maintenance courses. Government site (mobile) maintenance course locations will be determined at the time of the requirement. All training sites will be within the continent of the United States (not Hawaii or Alaska) and may be for one or more maintenance courses per trip. Training device requirements for government site (mobile) courses shall be performed in a Navy provided C-40A aircraft or waived as a requirement.
