Abstract

This specification establishes the requirements and testing procedures for aircraft droppable store (see <a>6.4.8</a>) installations and associated release systems. Excluded from this specification are the installation requirements for aircraft pyrotechnics and forward firing rockets. <br>This specification applies to two types of aircraft installations: <br>a. External installations: Installations in which the stores are completely or partially exposed to relative wind impingement during flight. <br>b. Internal installations: Installations in which the stores are internally mounted within the aircraft. <b><u>Intended Use:</u></b> The requirements in this specification are pertinent to the installation of droppable store systems and equipment(s) in all types of naval aircraft and shall be applicable to any particular model aircraft if conformance to this specification is required by the applicable aircraft detail specification. Modification or amplification of the requirements of this specification, as applicable to a particular model aircraft, will be incorporated in the aircraft detail specification at the time of its preparation. Modification or amplification of these requirements, subsequent to the effective date of the applicable aircraft contract, shall be accomplished in accordance with established change procedures. Requests for modification shall be submitted in writing and shall include complete description, supporting data, and reason for modification. Requirements of this specification may be waived for specific applications upon presentation of substantiating data to and approval from the acquiring activity. Specifications, drawings, and other data required for the installation of Government-furnished equipment will be supplied to the contractor by the acquiring activity upon request. <br>
