- Description
- This announcement is a Market Survey. This announcement is NOT A SCREENING INFORMATION REQUEST (SIR). Furthermore, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is not seeking or accepting unsolicited proposals. The FAA has a need to address training for pilots flying transport category aircraft to enhance their recognition of conditions that might lead to in-flight upsets and to facilitate the appropriate handling of those upsets should they occur. The FAA is surveying the marketplace to see the extent of interest and capability in meeting these requirements. Upset events may lead to loss-of control incidents and accidents, and the respondent should demonstrate how this training affords pilots an increased likelihood of successfully recognizing and coping with an upset thereby avoiding an incident or accident. The training and testing in an in-flight simulator should help identify critical pilot training factors. In its submission, the respondent should demonstrate experience in addressing human factors issues related to the acquisition, transfer, and retention of pilot skills from ground-based simulators to in-flight simulator performance. They should have at least ten years of proven experience to train and test pilots using in-flight simulation. They should have a demonstrated history of safe in-flight simulator training. The in-flight simulation must be capable of emulating transport category aircraft flight characteristics. Additionally, the respondent should have demonstrated experience in training pilots in aerobatics with emphasis on unusual attitude recovery and accelerated flight. The FAA found one party that meets these requirements. CALSPAN UB Research Center, Inc. is the incumbent contractor providing these services. The estimated value of this effort for one year is $500K. All interested parties are advised that the FAA will not pay for any information or any administrative costs incurred associated with any response to this Market Survey announcement. Therefore, any costs associated with this Market Survey submission will be solely at the interested party's expense. Parties that can meet this requirement should reply via email, by close of business August 17, 2005 to the Contracting Officer, Carmencita Strange, at carmencita.strange@faa.gov NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO WWW.FEDBIZOPPS.GOV ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (11-AUG-2005); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE.
