on a cost reimbursable basis, technical guidance and assistance to those tasked to design hangar
fire protection systems. The office requesting services will provide funding to cover TCX costs
associated with each project. Costs are directly related to the size and complexity of the project
and the quality of the design submittal. Arrangements should be made by contacting Mr. Ed
Lockwood at (540) 665-3919 (voice) and (540) 665-3628 (facsimile). Correspondence and
submittal packages should be sent as follows:

4.1 Required Design Reviews. As mandated by U.S. Air Force ETL 96-1, aircraft facility fire
protection designs will be submitted for technical review by the TCX. Comments will be
incorporated to the satisfaction of the Air Force. For other than Air Force designs, Corps offices
are encouraged to utilize the TCX for technical assistance and to submit designs for review. This
will serve to assure technical adequacy of the design and conformance to the requirements of this
ETL.
4.2 Submittal Procedures. Corps offices tasked to design projects with aircraft facility fire
protection systems will contact the TCX as early as possible during the design process to discuss
required services, design schedule, and funding requirements. To assure timely reviews by the
TCX, the requesting office should transmit required funds as early as possible, but in no case less
than 10 work days prior to submission of the first submittal. A submittal schedule should be
provided to the TCX to facilitate workload management. All design submittals, i.e., concept,
intermediate (preliminary) and final, will be submitted to the TCX for review. Documents will
include all drawings, design analyses, calculations, specifications, confirmation notices, meeting
minutes, and other related documentation associated with the project. As soon as possible
following their submission, technical comments provided by the TCX will be annotated with the
action taken and returned to the TCX reviewer. Comments to which exception is taken will be
discussed and resolved prior to continuation of the design process and submission of the next
submittal.
5. DESIGN ANALYSIS.
5.1 Narrative. Provide a Fire Protection narrative separately from other disciplines. Prepare a
comprehensive design analysis in accordance with MIL-HDBK-1008C. Clearly indicate the basis
of design and application of specific design criteria. Describe the overall fire protection system
proposed for the facility including types and arrangement of all systems and subsystems. This
