Opportunity Overview
USAF Test Pilot School is looking to award a one-year Purchase Order to vendors who can provide Heavy Aircraft Simulator Services to support staff evaluation and qualitative evaluation flights.
Requirements:
1. Test Pilot School (TPS) is requesting
A Boeing Wide-Body (>300,000lbs MTOW) full-motion, Level-D simulator.
An Airbus Wide-Body (>300,000lbs MTOW) full-motion, Level-D simulator.
The simulators are required to be in the same location to allow students and faculty to complete a side-by-side comparison of the aircraft on the same day.
The newest models of Boeing and Airbus aircraft are highly desired.
If an aircraft >300,000lbs MTOW is unavailable, USAF TPS reserves the right to satisfy syllabus requirements with a narrow-body simulator at the request of the contractor.
Maneuvers and evaluations, which may include but are not limited to:
General flying and handling qualities.
Takeoff performance (heavy weight configurations, engine-out, low RCR, etc.).
Takeoff speed development (VMCA, VMCG, VMU).
Flight control system evaluation (normal and degraded modes).
Stall characteristics and recovery.
Envelope protection modes (stall, overspeed, pitch & roll limits/rates).
Warning systems (EGPWS, CFIT, windshear, etc.).
Landing performance (engine-out, low/zero visibility, crosswinds, degraded flight controls, no‑flap, etc.).
Aircraft automation and flight management system during departure, cruise, arrival, and reroute.
Aircraft electronic checklist and takeoff manifest data integration during preflight.
Aircraft electronic checklist during a complex EP, such as hydraulic failure.
