10. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION 9" Portland cement concrete pad with anchor foundation and tiedowns. Service pad for jet engine test stand. Suppressor will be furnished and installed by others. Engine test stand pad; power check pad, service area and toilet facilities. 10,000 GA water storage tank; 800 GPM water service; 150 KVA electric service; access taxiway and service road; waste water collection system and oil separator, All utilities and other required support. 11. REQUIREMENT PROJECT: Provides adequate, planned facilities for conducting aircraft full power checks and jet engine testing in support of high performance fighter aircraft at various ANG bases. To provide jet engine test stand and aircraft trim pad capability in support of the conversion of various ANG units to high performance type aircraft. CURRENT SITUATION: Power check pads, where existing, are not equipped with noise suppressors and are located in isolated areas of the bases. These existing pads are not of sufficient size and do not provide adequate foundations for the sound suppressors. The isolated locations of the existing power check pads makes it economically unfeasible to extend the utilities. IMPACT IF NOT PROVIDED: Continued use of existing facilities for power check and engine testing operations will result in increased complaints. Base personnel working in the vicinity of the check pad facility may suffer hearing loss due to the high noise level when aircraft engines are being run up. Construction of these facilities will assist the units in attaining a high degree of readiness. MAY Grading, access roads, equipment hardstands, power, and equipment buildings necessary to support the installation of instrument landing systems at various Air National Guard installations. Instrument landing systems consists of Glide Slope (AN/MRN-8) and Localizer (AN/MRN-7). Actual installation to be accomplished by others. REQUIREMENT PROJECT: Provides all support construction necessary for installation of instrument landing systems at various ANG installations. REQUIREMENT: Instrument landing systems are necessary to provide a standard navigational aid for aircraft final approach guidance in instrument conditions. CURRENT SITUATION: Precision approaches are presently accomplished by use of less sophisticated methods. Current Air Force efforts are directed toward a phase down of existing systems and increased reliance upon instrument landing systems. Weather conditions have generated a permanent need for electronic landing control. IMPACT IF NOT PROVIDED: Flight safety is one of the primary prerequisites necessary to achieve operationally ready posture. Installation of instrumen landing systems will greatly enhance the units ability to maintain an accident free record. DD FORM 1 DEC 76 1391 PREVIOUS EDITIONS MAY BE USED INTERNALLY PAGE NO 4-150 |
