Page | 4

2.3.2 Flooring: Stands must have metal flooring that with anti-slip properties such as but not limited to textured coating, grooves, etc. Flooring must not have any holes to help prevent losing dropped objects. All walking and working surfaces, including platforms and stairs, must be constructed of heavy-duty, anti-slip, anti-bounce safety grating. The entire structure shall be finished with a durable, Skydrol-resistant chemical-resistant powder coat or polyurethane paint.

The color must be "Safety Yellow" or another government-approved high-visibility color.

2.3.3 Mobility: Stands must be able to be moved in and out of the hangar and around objects.

Stands need to be light enough so that a team of technicians can move it without the need for motorized support equipment. Stands need to be built in a modular design. One stand for each zone would be too large for transport and storage.

2.3.4 Aircraft Skin Safety: Stands that meet aircraft skin directly, must come equipped with buffering to prevent damage to the aircraft. All leading edges of platforms adjacent to the aircraft shall be equipped with soft, non-marring foam or rubber bumpers to protect the aircraft. Sliding deck panels and adjustable sliders at key access points for flexible clearance and precise positioning.

Position of the plugs must be evenly spaced along the aircraft wing, three located in front of the wing and three located behind the wing.

2.4.4 Electrical Supply: Stands must be equipped with standard two plug outlets. Three (3) in the front and three (3) aft (behind) of the wings are all evenly spaced in the most inner part of the wing, middle of the wing, and wing tip (Six (6) total). Circuits should be capable of powering power tools, lighting, compressors, etc. Standard 120v 50/60Hz 20a circuits should be sufficient.

2.4.5 Lighting: The stands must have lighting underneath stands specifically in both main landing gear areas of zone A and B, auxiliary power unit, and area where the wing meets the fuselage (arm pit) on both sides of the aircraft. The stands must have lighting on the stands platform as well to illuminate under the wing.

Page | 6 aircraft wing tip. This platform should adjust form 3-6 feet.

2.11.5 Lighting: Stands must have strong lighting underneath the stands, especially in the main landing gear area. Stands must also have lighting on the platforms to illuminate the underside of the wing in a modular design. Stands must be able to connect to current electrical power supply hardware.

2.12 Tail Area Stands (Zone C):

2.12.1 Overall Requirement: Technicians must have an elevated platform to the entire underside, top side, leading edge, and trailing edge of the horizontal stabilizer. Stands must not affect cargo ramp door opening and closing. Recommendation is four modular pieces for total access to horizontal stabilizer. The tail of the aircraft is 52 feet 8 inches long. The stands must be able to enclose the tail.

2.12.2 Connection Points: There must be connections points (bridge) from Zone C to Zone B and A for technicians to walk across, act as fall protection, and perform maintenance.

2.12.3 Storage: Stands must be capable of holding panels with a maximum size of 55 inches by 80 inches. Panel racks must not impede maintainers’ access to the aircraft

2.13 Nose and Flight Deck (Zone D):
