MIL-HDBK-1027/4A
Considerations, MIL-HDBK-1004/4, Electrical Utilization Systems, and
MIL-HDBK-1012/1. Comply with FIBS PUB 94, Federal Information Processing
Standards Publication, for computer rooms. In training facilities with high
concentrations of micro computers, control the effects of harmonics when
designing branch circuits serving the computer areas. Provide surge
protection, filter/conditioning power in accordance with requirements of the
TFR. In the absence of specific requirements in the TFR, review the quality
of power which will serve the proposed facility and provide surge protection,
filters, and conditioners as necessary. See Trainer Facility Data and
Equipment Summary sheets for each aircraft type in this handbook for
preliminary planning purposes.
2.2.8.5
Lighting. Overhead fluorescent lighting can hamper vision at radar
scopes, test scopes, and other CRT screens. Provide appropriate lighting for
these functions to reduce glare. Provide fluorescent fixtures with battery
packs for emergency lighting and/or wall packs in lieu of a central system.
a) Brief/Debrief. Provide means for reducing light level by
discrete switching of lights.
b) Console. Provide direct and aimable overhead lighting at
trainer console location with dimming controls. Provide adequate lighting
with discrete switching in addition to the dedicated console lighting for
janitorial services and maintenance after working hours.
c) High Bay. In high bay areas, include provisions for
maintenance access to fixtures for repair and re-lamping. Do not locate
lighting fixtures directly over a motion-based simulator cockpit. Consider
wall mounted lighting. Task lighting for device access platforms is normally
supplied by the device manufacturer; however, circuitry (junction box) for
this function must be provided convenient to the platforms.
(d) Classrooms. Provide classroom lighting controls (dimmers
and/or selective lamp and ballast switching) with discrete circuits for the
front of the room to allow for effective visual use of television monitors,
projectors, view graphs, etc.
(e) Instructor Station/Console.
Task lights may be required.
2.2.8.6
Lightning Protection. Perform a lightning protection risk
assessment on all aviation training facility types, in compliance with
Appendix I of NFPA-780, Lightning Protection Code, to justify lightning
protection when required by the regional Engineering Field Division. Comply
with applicable sections of MIL-HDBK-1004/6, Lightning Protection.
2.2.8.7
Facility Low Voltage Power. Refer to applicable TFR or Technical
Manual and comply with MIL-HDBK-1004/1 and MIL-HDBK-1004/4. Generally
provide 480Y/277 volt, three phase, four-wire service to the facility along
with dry type transformers to step voltage down for 120, 208 and 240 volt
requirements.
2.2.8.8
Intrusion Detection System (IDS). Facility IDS systems are
procured and installed via contracts administered by NCIS. Coordinate with
NCIS for facility planning, design and construction schedules. IDS systems
including sensors and alarm panels.
