SPIN AND SPIN RECOVERY TRAINING

6HSWHPEHU, 2026

A. PROJECT/TITLE

Spin and Spin Recovery Training for FAA Aircraft Certification Flight Test Pilots (FTP) (FAA course 21800090) employed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

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 certifiers conducting aircraft evaluating, testing, and checking functions.

C. SCOPE

The contractor is to provide Ground School and Flight Training to FAA Aircraft Certification Flight Test crewmembers for Spin and Spin Recovery Training as described in AC61-67 and as applicable to aircraft certification per 14 CFR 23.2150. Student quotas for these courses will be assigned by the Aircraft Certification Service – Enterprise Operations Division, AIR-900.

D. QUALITY ASSURANCE

The FAA requests that a current copy of the course student materials be provided to the FAA annually, for the purpose 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 meets 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.
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 quasireligious belief systems or ‘‘new age’’ belief systems as defined in Equal
