Description
Note: The requirements under this RFQ are in addition to the requirements under RFQ HTC71125QCC02, posted 31 December 2024.
For this reqiuirement, Air Operators do not need to be DoD CARB approved, per reference (a) and (b), to submit proposals for chartered air services as the aircraft will not carry Department of Defense (DoD) personnel or cargo. Two pilots are required for all flights, even with single engine aircraft if that aircraft supports a second pilot.

The aircraft must be able to operate without a groomed runway. The aircraft operator and pilots must have experience with Pioneering Landings.
