1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES/GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 GENERAL

1.1.1 The 56th Rescue Squadron (56 RQS) provides a rapidly-deployable, combat rescue and
reaction force response utilizing HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopters. The squadron offers long-
range rescue, humanitarian assistance, non-combatant evacuation, and disaster relief
capabilities.

1.1.2 The purpose of this contract is to provide one pilot and one Special Mission Aviator (SMA,
formerly known as Flight Engineer) to perform HH-60G Functional Check Flights (FCFs),
Maintenance Test Flights (MTFs), Operational Check Flights (OCFs), Acceptance Test
Profiles (ATPs), and Instructional Training.

1.1.2.1 Functional Check Flights (FCF): An FCF is required after certain repairs have been
completed to ensure the aircraft is airworthy and mission capable. FCFs are performed in
accordance with Air Force Technical Order (AFTO) 1H-60(H) G-6CF-1 and TO 1H-
60(H) G-6CL-1. FCFs do include ground runs which may or may not culminate with
actual flight.

1.1.2.2 Maintenance Test Flights (MTF)/Operational Check Flights (OCF): In addition to FCFs,
various components require in-flight operational checks after repair or replacement. While
flight tests are often performed on operational line aircraft by available aircrews,
Contractor may be required to assist or perform maintenance flights as required. These
maintenance flights are necessary to ensure the required component is working properly
and in unison with other systems and are performed in accordance with AFTO 1H-
60(H)G-1 and TO 1H-60(H)G-1-CL-1. MTFs/OCFs do include ground runs which may or
may not culminate with actual flight.

1.1.2.3 Acceptance Test Profiles (ATPs): Similar to FCFs, ATPs are governed by AFTO 1H-
60(H) G-6CF-1 and TO 1H-60(H) G-6CL-1. While an FCF is checking one or a few
components on the aircraft, ATPs are checking every component on the aircraft prior to
releasing the helicopter from depot.

1.1.2.4 Instructional Training: The contractor shall assist in performing instruction/training

duties to support USAF personnel. Instruction/training includes, but is not limited to:

1.1.2.4.1 Basic aircraft flight currency (i.e. contact maneuvers, instrument approaches and
