THE PRIMARY FUNCTIONAL SYSTEMS — hydraulic, electrical electronic, environmental control, and auxiliary power systems — are separated into localised centres to allow simultaneous inspection and maintenance with minimum congestion between ground personnel and equipment. Other factors considered in the design layout of the service centres were the distribution of components in each system, aircraft weight and balance, component size, area environment and accessibility. Isolation from the hazards of possible engine turbine-blade and wheel tyre failures was another important consideration. Standardisation and interchangeability of equipment within the L1011 aircraft, and among other transports operating in the same time period also influenced the functional system design.
