Section 3:
CORROSION CONTROL HANGAR
3.1
Function. The corrosion control hangar should be
designed to provide space and equipment for the corrosion
control processing of aircraft. This corrosion control process
can be performed at either a depot level or organizational and
intermediate (O/I) level facility as defined in NAVAIR Technical
Manual NA01-1A-509, Aircraft Weapons Systems Cleaning and
Corrosion Control. Facilities designed for depot level
maintenance should be based on de-paint/re-paint of the entire
aircraft. Facilities designed for O/I level maintenance should
be based on repair of damaged paint systems and de-paint/re-
paint of components only. This does not include de-painting by
plastic media blasting (PMB) equipment. Functions performed in
the corrosion control hangar include: deicing, limited
detergent washing and rinsing, paint stripping, corrosion
removal, protective coating application and painting, and finish
curing and drying. Refer to NAVAIR Technical Manual NA01-1A-509
for detailed functions performed in this facility.
3.2
Location. The corrosion control hangar should be
located in proximity to the maintenance hangars and as close as
possible to an aircraft washrack. Access between the corrosion
control hangar, the maintenance hangar, and the aircraft
washrack is required. The prevailing wind should be considered
in orienting the building in relation to aprons, taxiways, and
parking, to allow for exhaust air dispersal over areas not
affected by solvent fumes. Care must also be taken to site the
hangar in accordance with the requirements of NAVFAC P-80.3 and
NAVFAC P-971. It should not be sited within any runway safety
zone or in a location where it might extend into any imaginary
surface.
3.3
Architectural and Structural Requirements. Two types of
depot level corrosion control hangars are indicated in the
facility plates. The Type A corrosion control hangar is
designed for carrier aircraft and other small aircraft, and the
Type B corrosion control hangar is designed for land-based
transport or patrol aircraft. Because both construction and
operating costs increase as the volume of the hangar bay
increases, depot level corrosion control hangars for aircraft
larger than those accommodated by the Type B hangar and O/I
level corrosion control hangars should be individually designed
