This is a Special Packaging Instruction (SPI) document for military preservation and packaging requirements for a flap wing dive brake assembly component (Part Number 16W1022-812, National Stock Number 1560-01-282-1029).

The document specifies packaging standards using Military Preservation IAW MIL-STD-2073 with serviceable and unserviceable methods both rated as level 20. The item requires cleaning and drying per MIL-STD-2073 with no preservative application. Marking must comply with IAW MIL-STD-129, with special instructions to mark the SPI number on the identification side of the container, ensure reusable containers are not destroyed, and lift by base only. Closure requirements specify ASTM D6256 unnailed construction for both Level A and Level B packaging. Two packaging levels are defined: Level A provides 56.776 cubic feet gross volume with 400 cubic feet design fragility and Level B provides the same fragility rating. Container dimensions vary by level, with Level A measuring 180" length × 15¼" width × 24½" depth at both center interior and center exterior dimensions, while Level B measures 182" length × 17¼" width × 31¼" depth. The item dimensions are 171" with weight of 121 pounds. The document includes detailed component specifications, caution notices regarding asset repackaging and NSN listings, and international wood packaging material requirements for overseas and FMS shipments. Technical drawings on pages 4-5 provide detailed dimensional specifications for two brake assembly configurations (Details A and B) and an isometric assembly diagram showing component assembly relationships and measurements.
