hey Herc world, we have an issue with H model props with premature dome quad seals breaking down prematurely, after under 1000hr operation. Standby filters are filled with particles and when the domes are removed there is substantial pieces of oring material in the domes and even enough to plug ports in the PLR. anyone else experiencing this?

fluctuation is together and when we select Null or Locked everything goes back to good and stable. We have been flight with a restriction.

Do not be fooled by my name I am back on the old birds....and loving it.

I am looking for some help for an ongoing snag with a CC130H T56 , the snag only occurs during flight and during climbs. we get a 50-200 degree fluctuation in TIT with FF and TQ following. we have changed TD AMP, TD Valve, SS control, thermocouples and L/H and R/H harness, T-block harness and T-block, the snag is intermittent so hard to nail down. Anyone see this before I would appreciate any input. Thanks.

I am not sure about the why but I do know when you balance a rudder you can use as many as needed, could be because the aileron is so far outboard it would cause more severe balance issues, though that seems far fetched.

we use the tp for any pressurization leaks from inside the aircraft, and man on the stand is old school but seems to work well. I knew some guys from LM that used the thermal imaging device with little success. I can recall a long time ago trimming a Pratt N Whitney on a Boeing 707 standing beside and fighting the fan blow by, that was exciting stuff.

sounds interesting. what is the pay like? any relocation allowance?

Would they consider Recognising Canadian Military qualifications? I have 20+years on E/H Models maintenance, line servicing, instrument electrical lab and engine bay. Also J Model quailified.

Halon still in use, I believe just in aviation though. Has been outlawed everywhere. Look onboard any military aircraft today in any country.

13 year replacement is interesting, I would have thought shorter schedule for restraints.

I once was that soldier that needed medevac and the crews that fly those sorties are my angels, I am here to speak of it today cuz of them. SAR and Medevac without doubt the most dangerous. So that others may live.

We are still working on this one, I will keep everyone informed.

Thanks much We are trying to fix rather than dispose of broken troop seats.

Oh yes have done that in my old E/H models days, but Marietta frowns on those practices anymore....lmao

Anyone have any info or experience repairing J Model troop seats, I am mainly interested in authorizations and/or pubs with direct on what is allowed and if any other countries are doing their own repairs.
