FACILITY PLATES. Facility plates show conceptual data that shows key
features of the hangar module, functional layouts, design data and similar pertinent
data. Plates are furnished as a design guide to assist in planning a new facility. Plates
are representative of a generic type of hangar for a possible squadron layout.
Variations to the plans are to be determined by the using activity, the design activity,
and the designer of record during the development of the design. Squadrons operate
differently based on the type of aircraft maintained, the type of squadron, and other
specific operational criteria. The responsibility of the design rests with the designer of
record.

PLANNING CRITERIA. Naval aviation is a highly dynamic field and
maintenance concepts depend increasingly on state-of-the-art computer technology.
Planning factors in NAVFAC P-80, Facility Planning Criteria for Navy and Marine Corps
Shore Installations, and design criteria included in NAVFAC and DoD criteria manuals
are guides that must be used with specific weapons system Facilities Requirement
Documents (FRD) to design a fully usable aviation facility. NAVAIR Facilities
Management Division, Fleet Support Branch, works with the weapons systems
developers to identify unique aviation facility requirements. NAVAIR engineering
personnel are available during design and construction to provide specialized expertise
to NAVFAC or to arrange for weapons system manufacturers' representatives to attend
design reviews if requested by NAVFAC Engineering Field Divisions (EFDs), NAVFAC
Engineering Field Activities (EFAs) or aviation facility users.

BUILDING FUNCTIONS. Naval and Marine Corps shore aircraft
maintenance complexes consist of buildings and mobile facilities (MFs). These
complexes contain facilities and shops for the repair and maintenance of aircraft and
component parts. The Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Department (AIMD) officer
complex normally includes the following shops (buildings):
AIMD Administration,
Airframes Shop,
Engine Maintenance,
Avionics Shop,
Aviation Armament Shop (see facility plates),
Aviation Life Support Systems,
Engine Test Cells,
Battery Shops, and
Ground Support Equipment (GSE) Shop.
