1 of 7 PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS) BEECHCRAFT KING AIR 250 NON-TYPE RATED INITIAL AND RECURRENT WITH PRO LINE FUSION PILOT QUALIFICATION TRAINING 6/10/2026 -- 1 of 7 -- 2 of 7 A. PROJECT/TITLE Beechcraft King Air 250 Non-Type Rated Initial and Recurrent with Pro Line Fusion Pilot Flight Training for Flight Standards Service, AFB 500, Inspectors, and Aircraft Certification Service (AIR) Pilots Employed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Training is expected to be conducted using FAA-approved full flight simulators and flight training devices. B. BACKGROUND Under Title 49 of the United States Code (49 U.S.C.), the FAA is authorized to acquire and expend funds for the acquisition, operation, and maintenance of aircraft as necessary in the exercise and performance of the powers and duties of the Administrator. The interests of the public, the safety of the workforce, and the credibility of the organization are best served by having qualified, proficient, and current inspectors conducting pilot evaluating, testing, and checking functions. C. SCOPE The contractor is to provide non-type-rated initial and recurrent with Pro Line Fusion training to include ground school and flight training to FAA pilots/inspectors in the Beechcraft King Air 250 aircraft. Student quotas for these courses are assigned by the Workforce Development Division, AFB-500 or Aircraft Certification Service – Planning and Program Division (AIR). The courses covered under this contract will meet the requirements for FAA formal flight training. FAA formal flight training consists of training courses with agency-level course numbers that will be officially recorded in the employee’s personnel records. Exact training dates will be a mutual agreement of both parties. In the event of conflict, such as equipment malfunction, weather, unavailability of FAA pilots or aircraft, training dates will be rescheduled to other mutually agreeable dates. The contractor shall start the training described in the contract, on the mutually agreed to training dates, but only after receipt of either an oral or written notice from the Contracting Officer that the requirement still exists and funds have been officially obligated on a task order. D. QUALITY ASSURANCE The FAA requests that a current copy of the course student materials, be provided to the FAA annually, for the purposes of validating training content against identified training requirements. If the course objectives change, or significant content updates are made, an updated copy of the course will need to be provided, with a summary of the changes. The FAA will sign NDAs as required and will not use the materials for any other purposes beyond validating requirements. This is required to ensure the FAA remains in compliance with congressional requirements set forth in the FAA authorization to operate. More specifically, Public Law (current Consolidated Appropriations Act) requires that all technical training meet the requirements of the Current Consolidated Appropriations Act. None of the funds made available in this Act may be obligated or expended for any employee training that: a. Does not meet identified needs for knowledge, skills, and abilities bearing directly upon the performance of official duties. b. Contains elements likely to induce high levels of emotional response or psychological stress in some learners. -- 2 of 7 -- 3 of 7 c. Does not require prior learner notification of the content and methods to be used in the training and written end-of-course evaluation. d. Contains any methods or content associated with religious or quasi-religious belief systems or ‘‘new age’’ belief systems as defined in Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Notice N–915.022, dated September 2, 1988. e. Is offensive to, or designed to change, learners’ personal values or lifestyle outside the workplace E. DEFINITIONS The following definitions are used to define the terminology contained herein and are applicable as required by Title 14 of the Code of Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR): 1. Flight Time: Time from the moment the aircraft first moves under its own power for the purpose of flight until the moment the aircraft comes to rest at the next point of landing (block to block time). 2. Flight Simulation Training Device (FSTD): A Full Flight Simulator (FFS) or a Flight Training Device (FTD). 3. Full Flight Simulator (FFS): A replica of a specific type, make, model, or series aircraft. It includes the equipment and computer programs necessary to represent aircraft operations in ground and flight conditions, a visual system providing an out-of-the-flight deck view, a system that provides cues at least equivalent to those of a three-degree-of-freedom motion system, and has the full range of capabilities of the systems installed in the device as described in (14 CFR) Part 60 and the Qualification Performance Standard (QPS) for a specific FFS qualification level. 4. Flight Training Device (FTD): A replica of aircraft instruments, equipment, panels, and controls in an open flight deck area or an enclosed aircraft flight deck replica. It includes the equipment and computer programs necessary to represent aircraft (or set of aircraft) operations in ground and flight conditions having the full range of capabilities of the systems installed in the device as described in (14 CFR) Part 60 and the Qualification Performance Standard (QPS) for a specific FTD qualification level. 5. Crew Concept: When one inspector/pilot is receiving Pilot-In-Command (PIC) training in a simulator/training device, the other inspector/pilot shall receive second-in-command training or flight engineer training (if applicable). When one inspector/pilot is receiving PIC training in the left seat of an airplane flight deck the other inspector/pilot shall receive observer time (flight deck seating permitted). No additional charge shall be made for the presence of, or instruction provided to, such add…
