    Questions 692M15-25-R-00002.docx
    The document addresses technical questions regarding the installation and specifications of a visual system in an FAA hangar. Key inquiries include the alignment of the design with the pilot and copilot eye points, room dimensions, and potential modifications to the S-76 cockpit. The FAA confirms that the eye point design is centered, distances are specified, and room dimensions cannot currently be adjusted due to structural constraints. The agency also stipulates that vendors must supply their own equipment for assembly, without allowing for enlargements to openings or modifications to cockpit structure, maintaining current entry points. The existing frame will not meet future specifications for motion and vibration, necessitating replacement. Moreover, the FAA intends to adhere strictly to a two-year period of performance for the project. Overall, the document outlines the essential technical criteria and limitations for contractors in response to an RFP, emphasizing safety and operational standards.
