Refer to the lists that follow for the equipment and facilities that you must have for aircraft main- tenance and servicing. These lists show the different functions that a maintenance or service center (or an approved external subcontractor) must provide to support the operator’s aircraft. Usually, it is best for a maintenance facility to have all the shops and equipment necessary on- site to do maintenance. But, to try to lower repair costs and decrease turnaround times, it can sometimes be more cost-effective to use the facilities and services of approved external ven- dors as an alternative to your own service or repair facilities. If an operator decides to use an external service or repair facility, they must first examine how much of the aircraft maintenance to keep on-site and how much to contract out to an external services facility. The operator should first identify what equipment, components, or parts are necessary to do repairs and/or an overhaul at their own maintenance facility. If some of the nec- essary equipment is not available, or it is not cost-effective to purchase/rent, then the operator should probably use an external (off-site) maintenance or services facility to do these mainte- nance functions. BD500-3AB48-13800-00 See applicability on the first page of the DM BD500-A-J00-00-00-03AAA-030A-A BD500-A-J00-00-00-03AAA-030A-A 2019-08-12 Page 2 During the initial planning stage, it is important that the operator look at the type of the mainte- nance to be done at the operator’s facilities and the overhaul equipment that is necessary to do the job. After a check of the work flow processes, the operator must calculate the space alloca- tion necessary and what equipment and supplies for the shop facilities must be purchased, in order to calculate an approximate cost estimate. As the planning stage continues, more accu- rate costs will become known which will give a more accurate estimate of the total costs neces- sary in the production of the operator’s maintenance facility. The typical maintenance facility has the areas, shops and rooms that follow, as applicable: - Hangar areas for maintenance - Aircraft apron - Aircraft maintenance support shops - Component overhaul shops - Stock rooms - Administrative offices and auxiliary facilities - Utilities. 1.1 Hangar areas for maintenance These are the areas that should be provided: - Hangar - Work stands and docks - Cranes, stands and docks - Service pits for electricity, air and fuel 1.2 Aircraft apron These are the areas that should be provided: - Aircraft maintenance aprons - Aircraft parking aprons - Taxiways - Wash rack - Blast fences and noise suppressors 1.3 Aircraft maintenance support shops These are the areas that should be provided: - Wheels, brakes and tires - Power plant and Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) (quick engine change) - Sheet metal/composites - Avionics - Interiors and seats - Aircraft cleaners BD500-3AB48-13800-00 See applicability on the first page of the DM BD500-A-J00-00-00-03AAA-030A-A BD500-A-J00-00-00-03AAA-030A-A 2019-08-12 Page 3 1.4 Component overhaul shops These are the areas that should be provided: - Sheet metal - Composite structures - Parts cleaning - Painting - Plating - Welding - Heat treating - Machining - Engine / power plant • Module replacement • Module overhaul • Test cell - Auxiliary power unit - Hydraulic - Pneumatic - Mechanical accessories - Fuel components - Battery - Electrical - Landing gear - Wheels, brakes and tires - Avionics • Communications • Navigation - Instruments, electrical - Instruments, mechanical - Bottled gas (O2, N2, CO2) - Seats and interiors - Galley refrigeration - Non-destructive testing and laboratories 1.5 Stock rooms These are the areas that should be provided: - Aircraft spares - Consumable materials - Combustible materials BD500-3AB48-13800-00 See applicability on the first page of the DM BD500-A-J00-00-00-03AAA-030A-A BD500-A-J00-00-00-03AAA-030A-A End of data module 2019-08-12 Page 4 - Tool cribs - Receiving and shipping - Quarantine area (for faulty or rejected items) 1.6 Administrative offices and auxiliary facilities These are the areas that should be provided: - Maintenance administration office - Maintenance support office - Quality control and reliability - Engineering - Manufacturer’s representatives - Computer services - Medical station - Security - Cafeteria - Toilets, washrooms, and lockers - Building maintenance 1.7 Utilities These are the areas that should be provided: - Electricity (main and emergency) - Water - Sewage and wastewater - Telephone - Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning - Compressed air BD500-3AB48-13800-00 See applicability on the first page of the DM BD500-A-J00-00-00-05AAA-030A-A BD500-A-J00-00-00-05AAA-030A-A 2016-04-14 Page 1 Necessary hangar space - Technical data Applicability: 50001-54999, 55001-59999 Table of contents Page Necessary hangar space - Technical data............................................................................... 1 References................................................................................................................................ 1 Description................................................................................................................................. 1 1 General........................................................................................................................ 1 List of tables Page 1 References.................................................................................................................. 1 2 Hangar arrangement legend for Ground Support Equipment (GSE) and tools.......... 1 List of figures Page 1 Hangar arrangement................................................................................................... 4 References Table 1 References Data Module/Technical Publication Title BD500-A-J06-10-00-00AAA-030A-A Aircraft dimensions - Technical data Description 1 General The first facility an operator may want to consider is the maintenance hangar. The number of hangar positions is dependant on the number of aircraft types, the number of aircraft per type, aircraft utilization, maintenance check frequency (scheduled, unscheduled, equalized), the elapsed time required to perform maintenance checks, and the number of working hours avail- able per day. Hangar proposed arrangement is provided in Fig. 1 to assist in determining location, size, and clearance requirements for Ground Support Equipment (GSE) , tools and workstands, refer to Table 2 for a legend. Aircraft parking space requirements can also be determined from Fig. 1 and to BD500-A-J06-10-00-00AAA-030A-A for aircraft dimensions.
