About this file
This is a Special Packaging Instruction (SPI) document for aircraft fairings that provides detailed packaging requirements for military preservation and storage.
The SPI applies to fairing aircraft components (Part/Drawing No. 309J002-1, National Stock No. 1560-01-249-6052) and mandates compliance with MIL-STD-2073 for military preservation and cleaning standards. The document specifies two packaging levels: Level A for overseas and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) shipments, and Level B for domestic serviceable method requirements. Both levels require ASTM-D6256 or ASTM-D6256 specifications. Container dimensions vary by level, with Level A containers measuring 53" x 48" x 79" (length x width x depth) and center dimensions of 55" x 50" x 84½", while Level B containers are identical in outer dimensions but differ in interior specifications. The gross cubic footage for both levels is 134.476 cubic feet, with design fragility rating G and item weight of 69 pounds. Revisions to the document include a new wood statement (dated 08023) and an updated wood statement (dated 09286).
The packaging construction utilizes wooden crates with specific components including hinges, straps, washers, bolts, nuts, cushioning materials, skids, flooring, and headers as detailed in the bill of materials. Critical notes address bolt countersinking through skids, insertion placement, cushioning attachment without stapling at item contact points, hinge positioning and installation, and wood packaging material compliance with International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM No. 15) requiring heat-treated debarked wood certified by accredited agencies. Caution notices permit substitution of equivalent packaging materials meeting MIL-STD-2073 without increased government cost and allow prior edition packaging to remain in use if SPI integrity is maintained.
