It is against fire code to construct an aircraft or perform major
maintenance in a hangar that is not equipped with a sprinkler system. I
know this, because our local EAA chapter has been looking into constructing
a hangar, and to do more than final assembly will not be allowed without
sprinklers, which of course costs big money.


Is that a local code? Neither of the A&P's I use have sprinklers,
and they run legit businesses that do major repairs.
