What must be kept clear at all times in a shore based hangar?
Painted red fire lane adjacent to bulkhead that divides the hangar from the maintenance workcenters
Where are Portable CO2 Fire extinguishers’ located in a shore based hangar?
They are mounted on the bulkhead above the deck
What does the aircraft electrical system with cords provide?
Applies external electrical power to the aircraft
What is used for securing access and sealing off the elements of a shore based hangar?

What provides a 100 ohm or less point to ground/discharge stray voltage?
Aircraft Ground
Where are Aircraft Grounds located?
On a pattern or grid through the hangar deck
Aircraft stored inside can cost up to how many times the cost of the building they are stored in?
10 times the amount
What are the Hangar protection requirements for high value aircraft?
- Low level AFFF system with low profile nozzles designed for high reliability with low maintenance
- Closed head water only overhead sprinkler system designed to protect the building and provide cooling
- Optical detection system to activate low level AFFF system
- Appropriate drainage systems to limit any spill pool size/contain AFFF
- Draft curtains, to prevent cooling of sprinklers allowing for earlier detection
