Appendix B System Particulars

1. This theory of operation is based on the generic design. The Aircraft Fire Training Facility (AFTF) consists of an aircraft mock-up, burn area, control stand, liquid propane fuel system, cathodic protection system and a water conservation pond.

2. The aircraft mock-up, located in the burn area, is constructed of non-coated/unpainted carbon steel. It is approximately 72 feet long, 25 feet high at tip of tail, with a wingspan of 72 feet. The mock-up is configured with three simulated aircraft engines, two on the right wing and one located on the vertical stabilizer. Each engine contains one burner assembly and two ignitors. The wiring to the engine ignitors is enclosed in a protective water jacket that protects it from possible failure due to extreme heat. Water injection is located in both wing engines and at some sites in the tail engine. The wing engines also have dams installed to simulate a three-dimensional flowing fuel type fire. Wheel well/brake and auxiliary power unit fires are simulated on the right side of the fuselage adjacent to the inboard engine. In the interior of the mock-up, ignitors and burners are installed to simulate flight deck, passenger compartment, and baggage/cargo hold fires. There is also a standalone aircraft debris fire located away from the main fuselage of the aircraft. A water sprinkler system is installed in the top of the mock-up to cool and washout the mock-up. An expansion joint is located midway on the fuselage to allow for expansion and contraction during training. Cutout panels are located on the left and right aft sides of the fuselage. These 36-inch x 84-inch replaceable panels are constructed of .036-inch-thick sheet metal. The panels are used to simulate emergency entrance into an aircraft. Two steel hinged doors are located at the forward left and left amid ship.

3. The burn area is 100 feet in diameter. It is recessed and lined with one 80-mil thick HDPE liner. The liner is sandwiched between 6-inch-thick layers of sand and then covered by a layer of geotextile fabric and then an 18-inch layer of compacted aggregate crushed stone.

4. There are eight ignitors and burners installed in the burn area to simulate seven exterior ground fires which includes the debris fire and one running fuel fire with pool fire on the outboard engine.

The ground fires are located on the left and right sides of the forward fuselage, between the right-wing engines, under the left-wing, and on the left and right sides of the aft fuselage. The weir is used to maintain the proper water level in the burn area. Opening the burn area drain valve allows all the water in the burn area to drain to the water conservation pond.

5. Located on the control stand are the valves, solenoids, and switches used to control the propane flow and ignitors during training events. Turning off the master/emergency switch located on the control stand will turn off power to all ignitors and close the internal valve located on the propane tank via the pneumatic control system, if applicable. The propane piping, water piping, and electrical conduits from the control stand to the burn area are located in an underground HDPE lined trench.

6. The liquid propane system supplies fuel for training exercises. Propane is supplied from a 10,000 gallon-WC (water capacity) tank to the various burners in the burn area through a series of pipes and valves.

7. A propane pump may be installed to obtain adequate pressure, if applicable. A corresponding valve located on the control stand, controls propane flow to each individual burner. Safety features of the propane system are provided to stop the flow of fuel to the burners, and will include a pneumatic or manual control system, and an emergency shut-off valve located on the control stand.

Pressure relief valves are installed on the piping as required by the current edition of National Fire Protection Association Standard 58, Liquified Petroleum Gas Code. A cathodic protection system is used to protect below ground piping from corrosion through sacrificial anodes inside the trench from the control stand to the burn area.

8. The water conservation pond is a 72 feet by 72 feet square area that is 9 feet deep. It is lined with an 80-mil thick HDPE liner. Unlike the burn area, the liner is not covered. A pump located in the pond is used to supply necessary water for the training area.
