CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1-1
SCOPE. This UFC contains criteria for the design of Navy and Marine
Corps aircraft maintenance hangars for organizational ("O") and intermediate ("I") level
maintenance to support the Naval Aviation Maintenance Program in accordance with
Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV), OPNAVINST 4790.2, The Naval Aviation
Maintenance Program (NAMP). Major aircraft overhaul is normally done at Naval
Aviation Depots (NADEPs.)
1-1.1
Type I Hangar. A Type I maintenance hangar is primarily designed for
carrier aircraft, but is adaptable to meet requirements for rotary wing and various types
of smaller aircraft. The O1 and O2 level spaces in this type of hangar are configures for
a typical strike fighter squadron, two carrier airborne early warning squadrons, or a
helicopter antisubmarine warfare squadron.
1-1.2
Type II Hangar. A Type II maintenance hangar is principally designed for
a patron squadron, but is adaptable for larger aerial refueling and transport aircraft. The
O1 and O2 level spaces are designed to accommodate a typical marine aerial refueling
and transport squadron or patrol squadron.
1-1.3
Other Aircraft Facilities. Criteria for the design of paint and corrosion
control hangars and other aircraft facilities are not contained in this UFC, but will be
included in future UFCs. Until these documents are published, continue to use the
criteria of Military Handbook 1028/1C for these facilities.
1-1.4
Other Services' Hangar Facilities. For Army or Air Force hangars, use
UFC 3-260-01, Airfield and Heliport Design and Planning, and specific direction
provided by the respective headquarters command.

OTHER DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS.
1-2.1
General Building Requirements. General building requirements can be
found in UFC 1-200-01, General Building Requirements.
1-2.2
Specific Building Requirements. Closely consult aircraft maintenance
officers of shore activities from project definition through the entire design effort of any
project related to the construction, repair, or modernization of aircraft organizational and
intermediate facilities (refer to Volume 1 of OPNAVINST 4790.2). This ensures that
technical requirements for specific aircraft maintenance and testing procedures as
outlined in Naval Air (NAVAIR) technical manuals receive proper consideration in the
design of these facilities. Specific aircraft data can be obtained from the Aircraft
