69 -- TRAINING AIDS & DEVICES SOL ACD-7-Q-0016 Amendment 0001 DUE 072997 POC Contact Contract Specialist, Ms. Morris Whitacre, 214-767-7170. No collect calls will be accepted This action, originally publicized in the CBD dated July 24, 1997, for Request for Quotation is amended to extend the date for receipt of offers to July 29, 1997, 4:00pm. This action is for a total of two flight training devises. One devise will be an airplane FTD representation of a Cessna 210 with both a Cessna 182 and Cessna 210 data base system incorporated. The other device will be a helicopter FTD representation of a Hughes 500 (OH-6A). The following clarifications are made in addition to original specifications advertised in the July 24, 1997 CBD. The FTD level of performance required for a helicopter is the same level as described for airplanes in FAA AC 120-45A. The requirements for upgrade to level 7 are those that would pertain to the contractor's Flight Training Device. FAA AC 120-54, paragraph D(2), Functional Description, states, "A level 7 training device has the following characteristics and components: * Systems representations, switches, and controls which are required by the type design of the aircraft and by the approved training program; * Systems which respond appropriately and accurately to the switches and controls of the aircraft being simulated; * Full scale replication of the cockpit of the aircraft being simulated; * Correct simulation of the aerodynamic and round dynamic characteristics of the aircraft being simulated; * Correct simulation of the effects of selected environmental conditions which the simulated aircraft might encounter. The OH-6A cockpit that is being provided by the Government is not airworthy and does not have a data plate, but is in good physical condition. The aircraft instrumentation, engine, transmission and landing gear have been removed. All flight controls are installed, are intact and are functional. The reference to "Ground School" refers to Instructor/Operation and maintenance training for the FTD. Delivery of the Cessna flight training device is desired within three months after receipt of order, but delivery is required not later than six months after receipt of order. Please provide your delivery time with your quote. The successful contractor shall provide flight training devices that will meet the FAA qualifications to advance to flight training device level 5 or greater. The resolution and update rate shall be SVGA (1280 x 1024), 17" or greater CRT display with 60 Hz update. Textured terrain, searchlight sterrable from the cockpit, and landing lights are not required. A basic generic visual display is required initially with an enhanced visual system as part of future upgrade requirements. The basic visual system is required for the pilot only and shall have a non-textured visual data base. A generic database that covers U.S. airports and low altitude airways within a 300 mile radius of El Paso, TX, is required with future upgrades incorporating requirements for specific geographical areas. A reasonable visual representation of cloud ceilings, fog, scud, dusk, night, day, etc. is required. Physical changes between the cockpit of a Cessna 182 and a Cessna 210 are minimal, e.g., different fuel selector, the landing gear switch, different manifold pressure/fuel flow gauge, etc. The disabling of the gear switch, and the re-calibration of appropriate gauges is a manner that will be acceptable to the FAA for level 5 certification. A three axis control loading system is required for both simulators. All other terms and conditions of the origianl synopsis published on June 24, 1997 remain the same. (0197)
