required for the use of aircraft and should the Control Tower or the COTR deem the Contractor to
be too close to Airport areas used by aircraft for safety, the Control Tower or the COTR may, at their
discretion, order the Contractor to suspend his operations, remove his personnel, plant, equipment
and materials to a safe distance and stand by until the runways and taxiways are no longer required
for use by aircraft.
M. Where any work is to be done adjacent to any operational taxiway, the Contractor shall notify the
COTR one week in advance so that provisions can be made to perform the work.
N. The Contractor shall contact the COTR each day before he begins work to coordinate the status and
nature of work to be done that day. The Contractor shall also report to the COTR at the end of each
day to schedule the work he plans to do on the following day.
O. The Contractor shall remove all equipment and all materials that would constitute a hazard to air
traffic to the designated storage area whenever work is not in progress.
P. Violations of these regulations shall be considered a violation of the Contract itself and shall be
sufficient cause for halting the work without extending the time limit of the job.

this Specification. If any requirements of this Specification are in conflict with the
Manufacturer’s standard 90 / 100 ton PCAir, the Contractor shall identify these as such in
their Proposal. The Authority shall reserve the right to accept these Exceptions and not
consider them to be excessive or detrimental to the Contractor’s Proposal.
3. The PCAir unit will be mounted on an A3-68/141 PBB or equivalent.
4. Design Aircraft:
a. Narrow Body (NB): A321-200
b. Wide Body (WB): B787-800
c. Jumbo (J): A340-300, A340-600, B777-200LR, B777-300ER, B747-400, A-380-800
5. The PCAir unit shall provide the required airflow and pressure and heating and cooling
capacity based on the type of aircraft (NB, WB or J) selected on the PCAir units pendant
control so as to deliver preconditioned air to the aircraft within the range of design parameters
and without exceeding airflow, pressure, or temperature limitations of the aircraft.
6. The PCAir units shall provide preconditioned air to the Narrow Body and Wide Body aircraft
via one aircraft hose and to Jumbo aircraft via two aircraft hoses. When the PCAir unit starts
and the hose(s) are not fully deployed, the PCAir unit shall fault and provide an explanatory
error message.
7. The PCAir shall be designed to use one blower system.

a. The airflow shall be reduced with a motor driven outlet damper or VFD controlled
blower motor and shall adjust the airflow to meet the requirements for any of the
specified aircraft.
b. This outlet damper or VFD controlled motor shall also ensure that the airflow to the
aircraft shall never be of sufficient volume or pressure to damage the aircraft air
conditioning ductwork or systems.
c. The outlet damper shall be located on the supply air or discharge side of the system and
shall also restrict airflow with the initial activation of the pre-conditioned air unit to
prevent hose snap.
8. The PCAir unit design shall meet the following requirements for preconditioned air delivered
to the aircraft.
a. The static pressure and air flow at the inlet to the aircraft shall be greater than the
minimum and less than the maximum values allowed by the aircraft manufactures for all
aircraft as specified.
b. The static pressure, air flow and temperature at the inlet to the aircraft shall be sufficient
to meet the “Steady State” cooling and heating requirements, as defined by the Aircraft
manufacturers, at ambient Design Day conditions.
c. If the PCAir unit uses a “Hot Gas Bypass” or other means to defrost the compressors, the
temperature of the air at the aircraft connection shall NOT exceed 50° F for more than
five (5) minutes.
d. In the cooling mode, the temperature of the preconditioned air at the aircraft shall not
exceed 40° F, when the units is operating normally and NOT in “Hot Gas Bypass” or

the WB aircraft category. Specific data and requirements from the various aircraft
manufactures shall be supplied to support the Contractor’s calculations. The Contractor shall
supply the assumptions included in their calculations with respect to the varying conditions
that could occur with the hoses and other accessories between the PCAir unit and the aircraft.
Calculations, with appropriate assumptions shall be supplied for delivery of preconditioned
air to the aircraft and not just at the unit.

heating, based on the ambient temperature, if the temperature probe is removed from the
aircraft and the aircraft door closed when the aircraft is parked overnight at the gate.

and Secondary. This configuration should provide multiple stages of control for the
discharge air temperature, volume and pressure.

12. Control of the PCAir unit for delivery of conditioned air to the aircraft shall be by a remote
pendant control station mounted to plate, which shall be large enough to accommodate the
PCAir pendant control AND the 400Hz GPU / Cable hoist controls, attached to the wheel
bogie cross tube, left side of the PBB, facing the aircraft.
13. The PCAir unit shall utilize a temperature probe, which can be placed into the cabin of the
aircraft when the aircraft is docked to the PBB, to control the supply air temperature to the
aircraft. The temperature probe shall be mounted on the exterior of the front PBB cab wall,
below the forward Operator vision window.
14. The PCAir unit shall have a PBB Pre-Cool function controlled by a button on the PBB
Operator Console or HMI screen. This will allow the PCAir to be started, in Pre-cool mode,
from the PBB Operator Console of the PBB.
15. The PCAir unit shall filter the intake ambient air with a cleanable, viscous impingement
corrosion resistant type filter.
16. The PCAir shall be designed so that the condenser fan(s) and motor(s), compressors and
blower fan and motor can be COMPLETELY removed and replaced without removing the
PCAir from the Passenger Boarding Bridge.
17. An interlock circuit shall be provided so the PBB motion is disabled if the PCAir unit is
operating. If the PCAir unit is operating as a PBB Pre-cool function, this interlock circuit
shall NOT be activated.
18. The PCAir shall be designed so that the maximum dBA, as measured by SAE ARP 1801, is
85. Certification or Test Results showing compliance to this dBA requirement shall be
submitted with the Contractor’s Proposal.
19. The PCAir units shall have a condensate collection and removal system and shall discharge
the condensate to the ramp at the PCAir location.
