AC 150/5300-4B 6/24/75 e. Lighting plans are included in the typical set of plans for general guidance. However, the specialized nature of airport lighting requires particular attention to numerous details which cannot be adequately illustrated in the limited space available in the typical stet. Chapter 11 discusses airfield lighting systems and other visual aids. f. Specifications are an essential part of the total data needed for construction. They stipulate information pertaining to the method and manner of performing the work, as well as the quantities and quality of materials to be furnished under the contract. Federally aided projects require use of the specifications given in Advisory Circular 150/5370-10, Standards for Specifying Construction of Airports, or use of an acceptable substitute, such as a pertinent specification of the State Highway Department. In any event, local conditions, practices, and needs must be considered in the compila- tion of the project specifications. As a general guideline, prepare concise and simple specifications. The decision to use local materials should be based on an economical analysis and local experience. (1) Included in the typical set of plans are references to typical specifications given in Advisory Circular 150/5370-10. For example, the base course for a flexible pavement is referenced to FAA Specification Number P-208, Aggregate Base Course. (2) Depending upon local conditions, the engineer may wish to use specification P-208 within the scope of the standard speci- fication by selecting the proper variables such as the aggregate gradation or by modifying it to meet specific local conditions. A comparable state highway specification could be substituted for the P-208 depending on the economics of the individual situation. Page 92 Chap 14 Par 83 • •
