MIL-HDBK-1027/4A
Mechanical Pump Rooms. Provide steel conduit with liquid type
fittings where electrical cables are located in the same trench with
hydraulic piping.
Classrooms. Locate 120 volt convenience outlets for use of
portable audiovisual equipment. Provide conduit stub-outs with pull wire in
ceiling space for future ceiling mounted audiovisual aids, such as projection
systems.
Corridors. A shock hazard exists from convenience outlets in areas
where floor buffers are used. Provide locking type outlets and metal device
covers mounted high above splash zones.
3.2.8.1
Closed Circuit Television. Comply with MIL-HDBK-1004/7.
Centralized VCR Signal Distribution System should be provided where possible,
in lieu of portable equipment. Portable VCRs on mobile stands are repair
intensive and require unnecessary set-up time in individual rooms. Include
cable outlet in the lounge for training.
3.2.8.2
Telecommunications. Provide a structured telecommunications system
including interior and exterior conduits, cabling, pull wire,
telecommunications backboards, and outlets. Provide a telecommunications
outlet for each elevator in the facility. Refer to MIL-HDBK-1012/3 for
interior telecommunications cabling. Consider telephone and communication
outlets in maintenance areas and dedicated lines at devices where networking
is anticipated. Accommodate any special simulator contractor communication
requirements which may require intercom features integrated into the
telephone system.
3.2.8.3
Computers and Training Devices. Refer to manufacturer's TFR and
comply with MIL-HDBK-1004/1, MIL-HDBK-1004/4, and MIL-HDBK-1012/1. 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.
3.2.8.4
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 and/or wall packs for emergency lighting, in lieu of a central system.
Classrooms. Lighting controls (dimmers and/or selective lamp and
ballast switching) with discrete circuits for the front of the room, allow
for effective visual use of television monitors, projectors, view graphs,
etc. Special lighting consideration may be required for lab/classrooms.
Ceilings may be higher than normal for lab/classroom settings for better
spatial quality due to the size of the room and to accommodate lab trainer
device size and excursion limit requirements. Accommodate appropriate
lighting intensity requirements at the trainee table working level. Extend
lighting fixtures down below any ceiling fans. Trainer mockups may require
