    The Advanced Pilot Training (APT) Program's Statement of Work focuses on studying the feasibility of increasing the Stall Margin Remaining for the F404-GE-103 engine in the T-7A aircraft. This enhancement seeks to allow unrestricted throttle operation up to 45,000 feet, improving the aircraft's range and performance for navigation training. The contractor is required to conduct research and present potential Courses of Action (COAs) that would enhance the operational envelope, assess costs, schedules, and performance impacts, and provide a comprehensive report within six months of contract award. The primary objectives include improving aircraft availability, extending engine lifespan, and maximizing safety and sustainability. Short-term goals target expanding the throttle usage and improving the engine's maneuverability and bleed output at various flight levels. Deliverables include a detailed study report, status updates, and a Cost Benefit Analysis, coupled with an out-brief to discuss findings. Compliance with security regulations, including ITAR and military data agreements, is mandatory throughout the process. The overall aim is to bolster the T-7 aircraft's reliability and operational effectiveness within the APT framework.
