Any solution from this forum will be highly appreciated. Thanks

A Congressman in the USA was once asked about his attitude toward whiskey. 'If you mean the demon drink that poisons the mind, pollutes the body, desecrates family life, and inflames sinners, then I'm against it. But if you mean the elixir of Christmas cheer, the shield against winter chill, the taxable potion that puts needed funds into public coffers to comfort little crippled children, then I'm for it. This is my position, and I will not compromise.'

It was mailman George's last day on the job after 35 years of delivering the mail through all kinds of weather. When he arrived at the first house on his route, the whole family came out, roundly congratulated him, and sent him on his way with a tidy gift envelope. At the second house they presented him with a box of fine cigars. The folks at the third house handed him a selection of terrific fishing lures. At the next house, he was met at the door by a strikingly beautiful woman in a revealing negligee. She took him by the hand, and led him up the stairs to the bedroom where she blew his mind with the most passionate love he had ever experienced. When he'd had enough, they went downstairs, where she fixed him a giant breakfast: eggs, potatoes, ham, sausage, blueberry waffles and fresh-squeezed orange juice. When he was truly satisfied, she poured him a cup of steaming coffee. As she was pouring, he noticed a dollar bill sticking out from under the cup's bottom edge. "All this is just too wonderful for words," he said, "but what's the dollar for?" "Well," she said, "last night, I told my husband that today would be your last day, and that I wanted to do something special for you. I asked him what to give you. He said, 'Screw him. Give him a dollar.'" "Breakfast was my idea."

Employment History: My first job was working in an orange juice factory, but I got canned because I couldn't concentrate. I worked in the woods as a lumberjack, but I just couldn't hack it, so they gave me the ax. I was a tailor, but I just wasn't suited for it. It was a so-so job. I worked in a muffler factory but that was exhausting. I was a barber, but I just couldn't cut it. I tried to be a chef. I thought it would add a little spice to my life,but I just didn't have the thyme. I was a deli worker, but anyway I sliced it, I couldn't cut the mustard. I was a musician, but eventually I found I wasn't noteworthy. I studied a long time to become a doctor, but I didn't have the patients. I worked in a shoe factory; I tried but I just didn't fit in. I became a professional fisherman, but discovered that I couldn't live on my net income. I always wanted to be a witch, so I tried that for a spell. I managed to get a good job working for a pool maintenance company, but the work was just too draining. I got a job at a zoo feeding giraffes but I was fired because I wasn't up to it. I got a job in a health club, but they said I wasn't fit for the job. I found being an electrician interesting, but the work was shocking. I got a job as a historian but I realized there was no future in it. I was working at Starbucks, but I had to quit because it was always the same old grind.

Hey guys, I’m having a hard time figuring this one out. My utility system is hanging up on diverting pressure. Booster will fall to 1300 immediately at flaps above 15. Utility will stay at 3000 for about 5 seconds before starting its drop to 1300. Boost light is indicating as it should. Swapped the whole panel with a new one and still happening. So far I’ve replaced all hydraulic components on both panels and no change. Also of note. The first cycles of flaps they are working identically with no issues, but the more cycles they start to separate in pressure drop. Ultimately leading to utility panel staying an extra 5 seconds. any help would be appreciated

Been thinking about this problem .... i dont know the aug system, never worked engines that had them. However, taxiing in LSGI you do run the risk of popping the LSGI button(s) setting up an eventual rpm decay and flameout. Hot n humid conditions will make it worse.

You Guessed It! More Ponderings: How come you press harder on a remote-control when you know the battery is dead? Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?

What does your flight manual say about operating the oil cooler augmentation systems in LSGI?

My assumption then is that the #1 engine is the only one supplying bleed air for aircraft systems. Assuming everything with the engines check out to be within normal limitations (rigging, air leaks, efficiency, propeller blade angle, etc...), I'd recommend you adjust the Fuel Control LSGI RPM towards the upper limit. Other things you can do if that doesn't work is to re-seal the 5th and 10th bleed air valves and blow out the CIP line from the fuel control fitting into the air inlet housing. Do not adjust the Minimum flow adjustment as a misadjustment there should only cause a flameout when transitioning from HSGI to LSGI. If none of this works, (again assuming all rigging and other checks are correct), the most likely culprit is the fuel control. This is unlikely the cause due to multiple fuel controls involved, but it's not unheard of for multiple components to share the same defect if they were overhauled at the same facility around the same timeframe. Could also just be bad luck. I'm still not sold on taxiing with one single engine in HSGI, especially with a tailwind. I'd recommend only 2 at a time during taxi. If oil temps are difficult to keep under control in LSGI during normal taxi operations and minimal tailwind, you may need to look at that issue separately. If cleaning the coolers with fresh water doesn't fix that issue, either straighten the radiator fins or replace the coolers. Oil cooler augmentation is a great addition if you can afford the modification.

Thanks for your input. No. 1 is on NSGI, the rest at LSGI. Engine efficiency is also quite good. Engines 3 and 4 were running at LSGI for like 5mins before it decayed, probably the only movement they made was moving the throttles slightly forward due to the tailwind factor during taxi that might cause oil temps to rise.

Hydraulic leaks could only affect performance by increasing dirt build-up on the blades. I wouldn't even consider this a possibility unless the compressor efficiency was measured as "low." I would be more concerned about aircrew hydraulic fluid inhalation and A/C system contamination. I would look at your fault isolation manuals for guidance, which has you checking fuel system delivery, fuel control settings, throttle rigging, (and yes compressor condition too). Unfortunately, operational checks don't have the maintenance personnel operate the engine in the way you describe, which makes me think it is "normal" to have unstable RPM at LSGI while manipulating throttles and loading the engines down with multiple bleed air demands while simultaneously dumping air out of the bleed collectors. Just do a full operational checkout of the engines and see if anything is out of adjustment. I would also ask the aircrew to show you where their manuals allows them to taxi with all 4 engines in LSGI. As far as I know, that's not a thing.

Hi everyone, I’d like to open a discussion regarding an issue we recently experienced on a C-130H. During taxi, No. 3 and No. 4 engines bogged down/decayed and eventually flamed out. Both engines were operating at LSGI at the time. No cockpit indications showed abnormalities prior to the event. I’m looking for insights on probable causes. One factor I’m considering is the wind effect—specifically a tailwind or a sudden increase/decrease in wind entering the inlet, which could disturb compressor airflow. At LSGI, the compressor stall margin is already low, so any airflow disruption might affect the air/fuel ratio enough to cause decay or flameout. Additional note on engine condition: No. 4 propeller has an above-minimal hydraulic leak, and I’m considering whether prop hydraulic fluid entering the inlet could influence compressor performance. No. 3 prop has a minimal leak as well. Not sure if this could contribute to compressor airflow disturbance or contamination, but it’s worth adding to the discussion. Has anyone experienced something similar, or have inputs on other possible causes (bleed air setup, inlet distortion, FCU behavior at LSGI, environmental factors, etc.)? Appreciate any feedback or shared experiences. Thanks 🫡🫰
