Installed avionics will be flight-tested and certified for instrument flight (enroute, terminal, and approach) In Accordance With FAA approved standards (TSO C-129) by the Contractor. ADDED. 13. 2 AUDIO STATIONS ARE REQUIRED. Garmin Avionics was selected for the following safety reasons: The Garmin Avionics system enhances the safety of passengers and crew by allowing the display of information within easy sight of the pilots. Presently, the navigation, communication and Art Traffic Control selectors and information are placed to the center and rear of the cockpit. This forces the pilots to have to turn around and situate their heads in such a way that normally leads to vertigo or loss of spatial awareness. This loss of awareness has been a contributing factor in aircraft mishaps. This will enhance the safety of the passengers and crew by relocating the navigation, Radio communications and Air Traffic control transponder from the lower console between the pilots to the instrument panel. This will allow the pilots to operate their navigation and communications radios without having to look away to change frequencies. The Garmin system has a color-moving map with detailed and high quality definition of man made obstacles, terrain features and Air Traffic control designated airspace. This display allows for continuous situational awareness. This feature is very important since our mission profile takes us from high-density large airports to small remote unfamiliar airfields within the same flight. The Garmin system was selected due to the fact that it is the only one of its type and size that will provide all systems to be relocated to the instrument panel due to the lack of available space to accommodate additional systems. The Garmin system combines GPS navigation, VHF communication, VHF navigation and color moving map into one digital unit. Equipment removed from the aircraft will be returned to US Government (USASOC Flight Detachment.) If the offeror wishes to propose avionics other than Garmin, sufficient information must be provided to allow for evaluation of the features of the proposed equipment. The offeror shall include information regarding scheduling, performance time and lead time on this requirement.
