According to the SRD the same faked fuel cost estimations as in the dRFP.

- speed of aircraft is neglected
- faked mission profiles are used for fuel calculations (for aircraft wear different mission profiles are used)
- use as an airlifter is not properly considered (1 % of all missions)
-Air Force neglects the fleet effectiveness value for fuel costs

Calculation of the Military Construction (MILCON) costs is also doubtful because the fleet effectiveness value is also not considered.

NG should protest against such a consciously distorted program at GAO and withhold an offer.

The thing that really bothered me in this SRD and in the previous bid that NG-EADS won, is that in calculating takeoff performance, they specify max gross takeoff weight, instead of “takeoff with at least 200,000 lbs of fuel.”

The A330-200 could operate out of 6,000 ft fields at the same fuel load as a maxed out KC-767, which needed 10,000 ft.
