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 I am hoping that this document has been replaced by a Robins AFB TO for Public Access.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.

Hello! We’ve recently ran into an issue on our C130J with a get home control panel lighting. The panel lights up and is fully operation with external power, however on just battery power the lighting is inop. It will still transmit, but the lighting is completely inop. We’ve ohms checked most associated wiring good, swapped get home control panels, BAU, as well as the emer lighting module to no avail. anyone have any experience with something similar or have any input? thanks!

Curious if any of you remember the ASC engineering team (me and a young captain) who went around the world giving a briefing on this ditching? We also did a video of the briefing some of you might have seen. I was told the briefing was still being shown well into the late 90s.

Hi folks. Looking to verify something I was told recently about SEA vintage C-130s. Was it possible to lower the ramp/open the cargo doors in flight from the flight deck? If so, would that have been done by one of the pilots or the FE? Thanks

Hello everyone, For the past month or two we've been having an ongoing issue with pressurization on our J model. The problem typically gets recognized when flying at higher altitudes, 19-20k ft, thought recently they've stated they had erratic pressurization at all altitudes. Initially the problem was erratic pressurization throughout flight, resulting in ears popping and discomfort, when at higher altitudes they received a CAB Alt high advisory because cab alt was indicating above 10k ft. We change a part, it flys 1-2 times and the problem comes back. We've changed the outflow vlv, cabin pressure controller, vacuum reg, and servo valve, some things have been cha…
