Hi guys, I need some help about a broken upper vertical leg in (the oblique part) of Sloping Longeron Attach Flange at FS 858L. The oblique part is attached to the "Tee cap" by the doubler (see figure 2) We tried to make reinforcing doublers but after 12 landings the fitting PN 342593L was broken. We suggested to grind out the outside of the vertical leg and make doublers but need the limit removal of the Longeron, but we haven't in our structure repair manual SMP 583. So can any one of you expert sheet metal engineer suggest a solution for this huge problem, thanks.

Ok, I have a question regarding the emergency FLAP brake valve. After takeoff the flaps stopped retracting at 40%. C/B checked good so I went to the emergency flap brake valve. (Don’t worry I didn’t reset it). The valve reset lever was full forward (to the right when looking at it) and had no “free playâ€. I took this to mean it was engaged, however, after shutdown MX ran the flaps through and the valve was in the same position…flaps working fine. (FYI, water in the switches was not a factor) My question is… What does the emergency brake valve look/feel like when it is engaged? Thanks for the help!

The air crew were detailed to carr out a regular cargo msn on route Bunia to goma in C-130B ac ser no 0962.During the takeoff roll,after 60 knots, capt shifted his hand to flt con leaving the nose wh steering as the normal procedure. but at about 80 knots the ac suddenly swung to the left,the capt immediate decided to abort the msn and ac control by applying differential braking with the help of the co-pltand nose wh steering input. Finaly we suspected that nose steering control valve malfunction during ac speed 80 knots. What might be the reason can anyone inform. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I was browsing through the older posts and came across this. "Hey the book says between 100 and 150 deg C they just change the oil, that\'s a small work load for MX compaired to screwing up the touchdown." Does anyone have the reference for this? This seems like exceeding 100°C is no biggie, even though the book states that it is an engine shutdown condition. Also took a look at the engine oil specifications, works well beyond 100°C. Could someone explain this? Why is 100°C the limit? Thank you Quoted from:

We have experience a few incident of LH Aux FQI went to off-scale LOW on two aircraft. When open tank and found the Fuel Qty Compensator cracked and dislodged. Subsequent check found the bladder cell actually collapse as the strings tie the cell to the structure have given way. Have anyone experience this. Can the Aux Tank pump pressure caused the problem when the tank is empty ie. the pump running.

Greetings, We’ve been having an ongoing RTRU issue that only occurs in flight, usually a couple of times during touch and gos/takeoff. TR3 load will drop below 5, kick out a fail for 2-3 seconds then recover and go back to functioning properly. A few things we’ve changed include the TR unit, BIU, as well as the associated diode. Was curious if anyone has seen a similar issue or has any input on potential culprits. All meter readings weve checked have been good, as it does not fail on ground.

Hi C-130 Forum, Could some one advise if Technical Order 6-1-111 "General Cleaning and Testing 1" is available, or has been replaced? This document is referenced in the Maintenance Data we hold. I am hoping that this document has been replaced by a Robins AFB TO for Public Access. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
