MIL-HDBK-1027/4A
A primary adjacency requirement is that the device area must be
adjacent to the mechanical pump room, the computer room and the instructor
station/console space. The maximum distance from six degree of freedom (DOF)
devices to the hydraulic room is 150 feet. Place high bay areas of the same
or nearly equal height adjacent to each other and combine into one level for
simplification of roofing and structural systems and resultant cost savings.
2.2.2.2
Circulation. Circulation patterns in simulator facilities and
intensity vary among aviation training facility types. Varying numbers of
administrative personnel, contract personnel, trainees, and instructors
contribute to the pedestrian traffic load. Arrange spaces to provide the
most direct access. Group classrooms utilizing oversized equipment to
minimize need for lengthy extra wide access corridors to the exterior. Widen
corridors used for display.
Circulation intensities are similar to an administrative facility
except that in/out traffic for instructors and pilots is brisk. Simulator
facilities must also support contractor personnel, Government administrative
support personnel, and visitor traffic. Accommodate pilot trainees' ready
access from the building entry to the training stations and Ready Room.
A visitor control point is required for all building entrants for
issue of badges and signing in and out. Classified storage areas and
classified control can complicate the pedestrian flow and fire exiting
patterns. Card reader and key pad access control may be required by the user
and the base security officer in conjunction with Naval Criminal
Investigative Service Command (NCIS).
2.2.2.3
Functional Priorities. The most important sections of the facility
are those that are directly required to perform the training mission. Other
portions of the facility are secondary. Space groupings in order of
importance are:
a) Training rooms (e.g., classrooms, brief/debrief rooms, trainer
rooms, etc.) required to perform the training.
b) Direct support spaces, such as computer rooms, storage rooms
for classroom materials, mechanical equipment rooms, instructors' offices,
etc., without which, the training would be degraded or impossible to perform.
c) Indirect support spaces, such as toilets, lounges and
administrative offices, without which training can be accomplished, but at a
cost in the efficiency of the training organization.
2.2.2.4
Spaces and Characteristics
Administrative Offices. Includes secretarial functions,
supervisors, and/or security personnel. An open office partition plan in
administrative areas should be used for economy of space and open intra-
office communications. An acceptable path of travel must be established per
NFPA 101 for fire exiting. Provide sound absorbing materials as required in
office areas. Provide access flooring where computer networks are required.
