8 Wing Trenton's 426 Transport Squadron (426(T) Sqn) and 437 Transport Squadron (437(T) Sqn) require Dry Lease Full Flight Simulator (FFS) training on an "as and when requested basis" to meet RCAF/DND training requirements for CC150 Polaris pilots. The CC150 Polaris is a militarized Airbus Model A310-300 aircraft.
An ACAN is a public notice indicating to the supplier community that a department or agency intends to award a contract for goods, services or construction to a pre-identified supplier, thereby allowing other suppliers to signal their interest in bidding, by submitting a statement of capabilities. If no supplier submits a statement of capabilities that meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, on or before the closing date stated in the ACAN, the contracting officer may then proceed with the award to the pre-identified supplier.
PWGSC intends to negotiate a contract with Lufthansa Flight Training GmbH, of Frankfurt, Germany, on behalf of the Department of National Defence (DND), for the Dry Lease of its FFS A310-300 on an "as and when requested basis" to meet RCAF/DND training requirements for CC150 Polaris pilots.
The CC150 Polaris First Officer Training Plan requires its 426(T) Sqn student pilots to conduct sixty (60) hours of simulation training per course. RCAF Flight Operations Manual requires that 437(T) Sqn pilots conduct twelve (12) hours of simulation training semi-annually, for a total of tenty-four (24) hours per year.
The Contractor must provide the use of the dry lease FFS when required for a minimum 120 hours per contract year comprised of two courses of 60 hours per course, to a maximum of 240 hours per contract year comprised of four courses of 60 hours per course. The Contractor must provide the dry lease FFS and contractor personnel between 0600 and 2200 local time provided that DND books FFS time at least 3 months in advance. The 60 hours of training per course must be broken down into four hour training sessions with a total of 15 sessions within a 23 day period. These four hour sessions should be conducted between the hours of 0800 and 2100 local time allowing time for a two hour pre-briefing and one hour post flight de-briefing.
The Contractor must provide the use of the dry lease FFS when required for an estimated 340 hours per contract year. These hours must be grouped into 3 consecutive training days of 4 hour sessions each. The Contractor must provide the dry lease FFS and contractor personnel between 0600 and 2200 local time provided that DND books FFS time at least 3 months in advance. These four-hour sessions should be conducted between the hours of 0800 and 2100 local time, allowing time for a two hour pre-briefing and one hour post flight de-briefing.
The Contractor must provide to DND a designated briefing room within the same building as the dry lease FFS, for the purpose of conducting pre-flight and post-flight briefings. These briefings will be conducted by RCAF personnel prior to and following each training session as stated in 2.1 and 2.2.
The designated briefing room must consist of an office table with minimum three chairs, a dry erase board with a minimum of two different colour markers, Scale pictures of the A310-300 FFS cockpit instruments fixed to the wall, depicting actual dry lease FFS layout of cockpit instruments/switches. A computer with internet access and a printer and a photo copier must be accessible and in close proximity to the briefing room.
A) Model of Aircraft: A310-300; B) Flight Deck: Engines/Systems configured for GE CF6-80C2A2 with N1 indications and matching performance flight modelling; C) Fuel System: Contains a Trim Tank System with operational Centre of Gravity Control Computer (GCGG) system; D) CMC Electronics FMS CMA-9000 configuration with quick change capability. Refer to para 2.5 for further details; E) At least 20 airport scenes with graphical and terrain database to simulate various forms of terrain including mountainous operations; F) Airport scenes that are capable of weather limits to CAT I / II / IIIA / IIIB; G) Simulation of contaminated runway conditions including visual cues; H) User friendly instructor interface including aircraft position monitoring; I) All capabilities and functions of the FFS must be fully operational and serviceable during the training sessions to ensure training objectives are met; J) The flight FFS must be capable of 3 axis motion, instrument outputs, control feedback, audio, and visual to a minimum equivalent of Level C; and K) To the maximum extent possible, the cockpit layout and control functions of the A310-300 Airbus flight FFS should emulate the CC-150 Polaris.
DND can provide the contractor, through a temporary loan agreement, with two (2) CMC Electronics FMS Model CMA-9000 units if these are not normally part of the FFS. DND will provide a spare, if required, through CMC/AOG. These FMS units will be configured with the current/latgest FMS software version for the CC150 and the current/latest Navigation Database.
These FMS units must only be used by DND personnel. The contractor will install them in the FFS for DND personnel before each FFS session. The contractor will remove them after each session.
The FFS should be outfitted for quick change capability of the CMA-9000 units and the contractor must allow time for installation and removal of the FMS before and after each four-hour session so that DND gets a full four-hour session of training.
