40. Tower structures of 6' to 4O',will be procured by the regions, usi& FAA Specification FAA-E-2604. For tower structures 40' and above, new systems performance requirements are being developed. The drawings reflect the requirements for remote radio control for: ground-ground and air-ground combination system, ground-ground system and air-ground system. The air-ground radio control shown on drawings D-6060-11 and D-6060-13 has two-function capability, 4 0 APPLICATIONa, Drawings D-6068-0 is a typical title sheet for project drawings. Drawing D-6060-1 shows typical site layout plan and profile for .a MALSR system. This drawing is to be used as a guide and check- list, for information that is required on the project site layout drawing, The access road and turnaround,which shall be constructed in accordance with access road drawings D-5980-1 and 2,are optional and should be site determined by regional requirements. Actual siting of the system shall be in accordance with Order 6850.2, Visual Guidance Drawings D-6060-2 thru 13 have been developed as Lighting System, standard construction and electrical installation drawings for MALSR lighting system with low-impact resistance supporting structure as specified in FAA-E-2604 and installed in accordance with Specification Page 2 Par 1 6850,Ll 8/27/75 ’ FAA-C-2626.
Foundation desigms for the 5-lamp bars, sequenced flashers and power control station support&are based on a - minimum safe soil-bearing pressure of 3,000 psf and lateral soil pressure of 200 psf per foot of.depth below grade for applied loading conditions tabulated on drawing D-6060-6. Depth of foundation footings shall be as shown on drawings or one foot below local frost depth, The local frost-depth shall be noted on the whichever is greater, project site plan. Where the actual site soil-bearing strength is less than 3,000 psf and/or the local frost-depth is greater than 5'00", the foundation designs as shown on the drawings shall be modified as re- quired to suit existing soil conditions. Power source configurations ’ are site determined, therefore, the most economical service extension shall be set forth on the project site layout and an appropriate service extension detailed drawing developed. The pvc duct installation de- tailed on drawing D-6060-8 shall be used only in those areas where it is necessary to protect the cable from possible animal or insect damage.
These drawings shall be used for all future establishment, relocation.
and current construction projects for the equipment identified in para- graph 1, Inquiries or comments regarding these drawings shall be directed to the Chief, Environmental Systems Division, MU?-500, Airway F a c i l i t i e s S e r v i c e , 5 a REMOTE HEAD FLASHER, The sequenced flashers supplied by Contract No.

In order to use the sequenced flashers supplied under Contract MO@ DOT-FA72WA-2826,remote flasher heads have been purchased and will. be supplied at sites requiring remote flasher heads for mount- The material ing on the Specification FAA-E-2604 support structures.
supplied and installation instructions for the remote flasher head DOT-FA72WA-2826 equipment are described applicable to the Contract No, in Specification FAA-E-2626, .Division 11, Section 11-8.
REMOTE CONTROL e There are three remote radio control configurations for controlling a MALSR sys,tem, depending on the type of air traffic c o n t r o l f a c i l i t i e s , Ground-ground and air-ground combination system, The remote control equip- ground-ground system, and air-ground system.
m@nt is supplied directly to the site by the Washington office with frequency pretuned by the xanufacturer.
a.
The combination radio control system allows remote control of the MALSR from the Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) or Flight Service Station (FSS) over a frequency modulated (fm) radio link and when the ATCT or FSS is not operating, the control is switched to an amplitude modulated (am) receiver to be operated by the aircraft p i l o t , The combination-system is installed at a part-time ATCT and at a part-time FSS when there is no ATCT on the airport.

(1) The ground-ground and air-ground combination radio control system is composed of the following equipment: (a) One.fm transmitter installed at the ATCT or FSS.
(b) One manual control console with 96 function capability - installed at the control point in ATCT or FSS.
(c) One antenna for the Pm transmitter installed on the roof of the ATCT or FSS, Use another location if inter- mode interference is experienced.
(d) One fm receiver and decoder installed at the MALSR power and control panel.
(e) One antenna for fm receiver installed at the MALSR power and control panel.
