The Government intends to procure the following requirement from United Airlines, Denver CO. Pilot School Simulator Training to include state-of-the-art aircraft simulator training, classroom instruction and hands on training in the handling qualities, performance characteristics and systems operations of large aircraft. Classroom instruction to approximately 30 personnel. Flight instruction of pilot/engineer teams conducted at a single location in Level C and level D simulation, Boeing 747/KC-135/KC-10 air refueling, in multi-engine jet aircraft simulators such as the DC-10, DC-8, Boeing 727, 737, 747, 757, 767, Air Bus A300, A310, A320, A330, A340, MD80 series and MD90 series. Level C to include: a full aerodynamic program with ground effect, turbulence and wind shear models; a 6 degree of freedom motion base; flight control system which matches the static and dynamic characteristics of the aircraft; simulation time delay not to exceed 150 milliseconds; engine out and other emergency procedure operations; and a 4 window computer generated image (CGI) visual system which includes airport ground and airborne traffic and may be night/dusk CGI. Level D capability to include all Phase II requirements, all aircraft buffet characteristics (stall, flaps, spoilers, landing gear, mach, etc) accurately simulated, and daylight CGI visual. Each pilot/engineer team shall receive at least one hour in each of four different simulators types; 1.5 hours in Level D simulator; and 30 minutes in the air refueling simulator. Potential offerors must have experience in flight testing and simulator training. Two training sessions will be required each fiscal year (FY). United Airlines, Denver Colorado was selected as the source for this procurement because United Airlines can provide this requirement of historical developement of simulators, visual systems, motion systems, and associated time delays, use of simulator training in place of in-flight training for aircrew certification. The procedure to be used in awarding this contract is written quotation and the anticipated award date is 28 September 1995. SIC Code 8299, ross receipts $12.5 million. FAX number 805-277-0470.
