Hello Everyone, Different variants of Herks have carried a lot of things on the outboard hard points. ECM pods, helo A/R Pods, Marine Harvest Hawk, AF Lightning Pods for example. Does anyone know what the limitations are for the outboard hard points. I know that Sargent Fletcher makes pylons that are good for 1,300 pounds, but A models could carry 450 gallons out there (@6.5 lbs a gal that is 2,925 lbs plus the weight of the tank). As a secondary, does anyone know what models have hard points. I know all MCs, HCs ECs do. I was told that all Js have em but most B's, E's and H's don't. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Mickey

hello C-130world, during 1 of our missions, an engine was wet of oil on its acceleration bleedports. After an engine change, engine was tested on the test bed and we changed about everything, but still a flood of oil in the torque shaft housing and through the compressor, again wet bleeds. we changed the scavenge pump on the accessory, we changed the checkvalves on RGB and Accessory gearbox.... we follwed the guidelines of the service news vol15n°2, still the same issue What we didn't change, due to time consuming and not possible while hanging on the METS (test stand) is the RGB suspect the failures of nose and main scavenges pump... any othe…

Does anyone have an idea of the flap angles corresponding to flap settings in percentage? For example, what is the flap angle for a 20%, 50% and 100% flap setting? The angle should be relative to either the root wing chord or the Water Line of the aircraft. Also, what is the gap or spacing between the flap and wing for each of the flap settings? I cannot find this information in any of the TOs for the H or J model. Are the flaps the same for all the C-130 models? thanks, TA

Aircraft Air Conditioning Pressurization is INOP in AUTO during flight. On takeoff aircraft will pressurize at an usafe rate (Pressure rate spikes) when commanded to No Press, Aircraft continues to pressurize. Aircraft can be depressurized in MANUAL, but crew also noted in NO PRESS that safety valve remained closed. Every component in the system has been changed including: Outflow Valve, Safety Valve, Servo Valve, Cabin Pressure Controller, Jet Pump has been inspected and cleaned. All hard lines to safety valve and outflow valve have been inspected for integrity. Also on the ground the system always OPS CHECKS good. Any ideas? BTW this a KC-130J series Aircraft.

Requesting advice on this problem. The engine won't shutdown normally (negative fuel cut). Pulling the T-Handle managed to shut it down. We've replaced the geneva lock & speed sensitive control. What else should I try?

I am new to this forum.. Retired USAF (Combat Loggie) .. We are in the process of selecting a C-130 from the D.M. AFB Bone Yard ... We have been given 160 Airframe numbers to choose from - Note: they aren't all there(???) .. My point is that two that we have tentatively settled upon have no Engines or Engine Housings.... .. We have to supply: Engines, Housing's and Radio Gear (actually anything needed to get the Planes ferried to the California Depot)... .. Or we have to "truck them to CA" - which is a way no-go option (California doesn't like or entertain the thought of trucking C-130's across the state). .. My Question is about the Turbines::: The Navy C…

Hi, Wondering if anyone can tell me the APU frequency of the GTCP85-180L (H model APU) in a no load situation, basically APU running, no bleed air or electric being used. What is the max variation in the frequency when fully loaded with AC? Basically looking for the frequency at idle and the maximum droop. What window is considered acceptable by by the pilot and crew? Thanks, Tom

I've got a problem with the heading flag coming into view from 240 degrees to 300 degrees on the c/p HSI only. It happens in mag and dg but only if going from N clockwise, N counterclockwise the flag stays out of view .Swapped the pilot and co pilot hsi and gripe remains on c/p side and only the #2 system.Cleaned all nav switching relays,compared signal, pwr, and grounds to the #1 system and results when compared were the same. Components that have been swapped: c12 amps, directional gyro, digital controller, heading coupler, flt directors comp. Thank you for taking the time to read this...stuck in C12 heading hell

Aircrew in regards to Pitchlock prop operations and engine shutdown shutdown at a speed where you cannot maintain 96% or 150KTAS... What does your book actually say? Ours says "Attain a speed" Do you slow to determine blade angle and then shutdown at 96% or 150KTAS or at any given speed above 150KTAS?

I'm a student doing a paper design of an aircraft to be launched from a C-130J at 15,000 ft and am trying work out a weight and balance for the aircraft...but I'm not finding a terrible amount of information to do it with (e.g., basic weight/arm, crew arm, fuel arm, etc.). Also, as I'm looking into it, I'm seeing some contradictory things, such as the load planning chart in the 2015 DTR III-V-17 (http://www.ustranscom.mil/dtr/part-iii/dtr_part_iii_app_v.pdf) shows a DD form 2130-2 for C-130 models E/H/J (the picture on the form says B/E/H, but the caption for the form notes E/H/J...I'm believing the caption for now) wherein the ramp starts around station 749, whereas the…
