About this file

This is a Special Packaging Instruction (SPI) document issued by the U.S. Air Force (406 SCMS/GULAA, Hill AFB, Utah) for military preservation and packaging of a Flap, Wing Dive Brake component. The SPI, CODE ID 98747, provides detailed specifications for packaging this item in accordance with MIL-STD-2073 (Military Preservation) and MIL-STD-129 (Marking). The document specifies two packaging levels—Level A and Level B—with different dimensional and material requirements. Level A packaging requires 56.776 cubic feet of gross space with 400 cubic feet of design fragility, while Level B requires the same gross space but increased design fragility of 400 cubic feet. Both levels use ASTM D6256 (MDD) standards for unnailed closure. Container dimensions vary by level, with Level A centered internal dimensions of 180" x 15¼" x 24½" and Level B centered internal dimensions of 180" x 15¼" x 24½", while exterior dimensions are 182" x 17¼" x 31¼" for both levels.

The packaging assembly incorporates numerous components including strapping steel, washers, bolts, bracing, masking tape, barrier wrap, felt cushioning, blocking materials, headers, bases, and various steel strips, all conforming to specified ASTM standards and military specifications. Critical preservation treatments include application of MIL-PRF-16173 Code 02 preservative to critical surfaces, MIL-PRF-46170 internally, and MIL-PRF-23827 Code 11 to bushings and bearings. The document mandates compliance with International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM No. 15) requiring all wooden packaging materials to be constructed from debarked, heat-treated wood (HT to 56°C for 30 minutes) with certification by an ALSC-recognized accredited agency. The document includes detailed assembly diagrams and notes specifying fastening requirements using nails or staples conforming to ASTM F1667, felt cushioning installation procedures, and cautions regarding asset repackaging and overseas/FMS packaging requirements.
