FOC	Jun 09	Dec 12	42	As per Table 3.3, contract changes were negotiated with the Prime Contractor which required a corresponding update to the approved MAA for the project. Whilst the final aircraft accepted in the Initial Operational Test and Evaluation is now not expected to be delivered by June 2011, the FOC will not be achieved until Decemeber 2012. The date for FOC is not a contracted requirement but rather the date at which Operational Release is planned to be achieved under Army's Plan Peregrine. The revised FOC date of December 2012 was agreed during the development and subsequent approval of Amendment No. 1 to the Air 87 Phase 2 MAA in August 2009.
