## Summary

This activity requests $26.6M in FY2027, 60% of project 0568, up 15% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2026–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** Provide support for the cost of Aviation Depot Level Repairables (AVDLR), lubricants and consumable and replacement parts in support of test pilot proficiency hours, along with organizational and intermediate-level maintenance, associated with the projected direct readiness flight hour costs in support of NAVAIR test pilot proficiency and functional check flights. Fund readiness to 60% of the requirement based on assessment of FY27 program workload to ensure test pilots remain proficient and to meet OPNAVINST 3710.7 requirements, to ensure flight safety and to reduce the risk of aviation mishaps. Remaining 40% of the requirement is covered under program funded flight test.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The $3.514 million increase from FY 2026 to FY 2027 is due to increased cost of AVDLR and maintenance support due to inflation costs associated with replacement parts and contract labor.
