Hi there,

I am working on a retrofit project to convert an existing building into a hangar. I am looking for a code / NFPA reference for Hangar trench direction (parallel or perpendicular to the plane) depending on whether the airplane pull-in tail first or is there any relationship? I couldn't find any clause in NFPA 409 but UFC Hangar Maintenance Guideline provide very definitive approach for both options.

Thanks for your comments in advance.

Cheers
