Q

If more subdivisions of a zone are necessary to identify doors and panels, what codes do we use?

A

We use Letters after the Zone numbers.

First Letter is the position of panels or doors from Forward to Aft, Inboard to Outboard, and Bottom to Top.

Second Letter is the orientation ofpanels or doors if it is in the left or right side
