This document is a technical specification and certification document (NAWCADLKE-MISC-482400-1164 Rev A) for Wind Measuring and Indicating System (WMIS) installation and inspection procedures at Naval Aviation Warfare Center Aircraft Division Lakehurst.

The document establishes technical requirements for the inspection and certification of WMIS equipment installations on naval vessels. Key requirements include: detector mounting assembly alignment parallel to the ship's bow-stern centerline with an allowable tolerance of ±1.0 degree, with specific procedures for using transit levels and alignment rulers to verify proper positioning. For Type "F" Hi-Shock Wind Detectors, the terminal tube fitting must face the stern with the mounting pin aligned to the bow. The document specifies two levels of certification: Category A certification requires completion of both the detector/transmitter mounting assembly installation check and the dockside alignment procedure, while Category B certification requires only completion of the dockside alignment procedure. Non-Standard WMIS equipment installations require prior written approval from the Technical Warrant Holder (Carolyn Holguin, Information Systems Division Head, NAWCAD Code BL13000) and submission of detailed installation drawings, manufacturer part numbers, electrical schematics, and electrical characteristics. The document includes detailed inspection checklists to ensure structural integrity, complete assemblies, and adequate lubrication of wind equipment components. All Failure Modes of Non-Standard WMIS equipment must not affect system and data integrity. Detailed WMIS interface requirements are provided in Appendix C, with referenced diagrams and figures in Appendix B.
