MIL-HDBK-1027/4A
(FIT) and the S4, which is the Marine counterpart to the Navy Public Works
Office. ASTC projects must include the Office of the Assistant Secretary of
Defense (Health Affairs) Defense Medical Facilities Office [OASD(HA)DMFO];
Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED) (Code 43); NAVFAC (Code 09MD); Naval
Aerospace and Operational Medical Institute (NAMI); NAWCTSD (Code 412) and
Naval Healthcare Support Office (HSO) (Code 44).
For new simulators, the manufacturer's Trainer Facility Report
(TFR) is required for simulators as a precedent to ready-for-design
certification. Consult NAWCTSD (Code 412) for relocations of existing
simulators. The training equipment may continue to undergo development as
the building design progresses; therefore, methods of communication between
the facility designer and manufacturer via the EFD must be established.
NAVAIR engineering personnel are available during design and construction to
provide specialized expertise to NAVFAC and can arrange for manufacturers'
representatives to attend design reviews. Review sessions attended by the
manufacturer must be approved in advance by NAVAIR Codes 09Y and PMA205 and
NAWCTSD Code 412. Manufacturer and facility designer schedules must be
closely monitored. This will allow design personnel to schedule design
submissions to avoid potential design change orders. The type of
developmental modifications which traditionally have the greatest impact on
the facility design should be identified by the manufacturer. Device related
issues account for the majority of design changes. Repositioning of reaction
bases and increasing electrical power, HVAC, and hydraulics are often
required.
1.6
Construction Phasing.
Phasing can severely impact the cost of a
project. Aviation Training Facility projects are dynamic in that development
of training devices often parallels the building design development. Evaluate
construction phasing closely to minimize unnecessary constraints on the
construction contractor. The ROICC must be involved early on in the project
to advise the project team on any proposed phasing plan. Wall openings
required for large training equipment installation must be included in
phasing plans to ensure that access is available at the time of delivery and
that subsequent closure or panel replacement can be accomplished by the
construction contractor. Additions and alterations to existing facilities
require special attention since the work may cause unacceptable out-of-
service break-in-training conditions for existing devices. For new
construction, include time after the building is "punch list ready" for
technical training equipment and collateral equipment installation to
establish the ready for training date.
1.7
Site Verification. The requirement for aviation training
facilities to be located in close proximity to core activity and flight lines
must be balanced with the need for a relatively noise free environment for
classroom instruction and minimal vibration which can affect simulation
equipment. Comply with OPNAV Instruction 11010.36A, Air Installation
Compatible Use Zones (AICUZ) Program. Accordingly, aviation training
facilities should be classified as Educational Services and are not permitted
in noise zones with Day-Night Average Sound Level (DNL) of 75 or above.
Refer also to P-970, Planning in the Noise Environment. Training equipment
is designed to tolerate a certain strength of electromagnetic fields;
however, exceeding the design limits could result in malfunctioning equipment
and physical damage. Review siting to confirm if any of the following will
impact the project:
