If such an observation capability is required, light closures and special lighting shall be provided. The colo
41、r scheme shall be selected from Table I. 3.5.2.1 Color scheme selection. Color schemes shall be selected according to the characteristics of the various aircrew stations with consideration being given to compartment size and lighting, interior environmental control, the physiological and psychologic
42、al we1 1-being of the aircrew and the predominant operational area of the aircraft type, when applicable. Selections shall be made from Table I. Color scheme no. 1 shall be employed in aircraft with relatively spacious workspaces, adequate access through the aircraft, continuous external illuminatio
43、n and where the operators tasks are critically dependent on a uniform lighting system and where the internal environmental conditions can be precisely controlled. Color scheme no. 2 shall be employed in aircraft with more compact workspaces, relatively few open areas and limited external illuminatio
44、n, where ambient internal illumination must be maintained with a minimal amount of direct lighting and where the interior operational environmental controls may vary over a wide range. The more contemporary color schemes nos. 3 and 4 shall be used, but not limited to, larger aircraft transporting ei
45、ther additional, non-operational crew or passengers on a regular basis or subject to extended operational flights where added emphasis must be placed on crew comfort and visual fatigue. Adequate internal 1 ighting and environmental control must be coordinated. Generally, scheme no. 3 shall be adapte
46、d to more temperate or tropical climates while scheme no. 4 shall be used in cooler climates. Schemes shall not be intermixed in the same aircraft. a 3.5.2.2 Passenger compartments. When specified by the acquiring activity, the interior color scheme for passenger compartments shall conform to the ap
47、plicable elements of a single scheme selected from Table I. 3.5.3 Sound proofing and thermal insulating blankets. The color of sound proofing and thermal insulating blanket materials in inhabited spaces shall conform to the color requirements for the areas defined in the selected scheme in Table I a
48、nd Table II whenever such materials are normally visible, and is optional in uninhabited spaces. 3.6 Color requirements for uninhabited spaces. Included among uninhabited spaces shall be interior structural spaces, baggage compartments and cargo spaces. Those spaces requiring other than one coat of
49、chromate primer shall not be top-coated unless required by MIL-F-7179 or other contract specification. When chemical warfare (NBC) compatability is a requirement for an aircraft, those MIL-C-46168 colors that are nearest in hue to the colors cited herein shall be used. 5 Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-MIL-C-8777E 35 7797706 0387833 T U 3.6.1 Bomb bays.
