Does anyone have any references or part numbers for these things? I did a quick search in the 223 and didn't come up with anything, but I know i've seen them before.

Hi Guy's, got a problem with the ice detection system i can't seem to resolve. The fault is that during taxi the system on light is coming on and will not go off by putting the master switch to reset. The light will go off by pushing the light out button. During testing on EGR the following is happening. #2 system is testing ok, but after testing #3 the no ice light comes on after about 5 secs. I've changed ice detectors, ice interpreters and a couple of suspect diodes but i still have the same fault. (Spare parts are very suspect here though.) Every time i try and work my way through the troubleshooting guide i get different results every time i carry out the same tests.…

Does anyone have a good photo (or technical cocuments) of the "Roman Nose" C-130A looking aft at the nose? I am trying to get some good details of the two or three items on the nose. One I have been told is a taxi light but I cannot make out what the other(s) are. Are they ream air vents or other lights? This is the best I have found..... http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1054/1163487610_59a4aa6276.jpg?v=0 Any help is appreciated! David Horn II

Defect: My glideslope system using 51RV-1 or -4 or -5 series are showing fluctuation on pilot and co-pilot side upon captured. Ground check using test set cannot simulate the fault for months!! How my system works is as follows: 1 glideslope anthena input to 2 recievers, goes to my NIS tray and output to 2 isolated ADI, HSI and Flight Computers (FCS 105). The following was carried out: Glideslope antena changed twice. Bonding check on VOR/ILS tray, glideslope antenna done. NIS tray replaced. Wiring on all glideslope system done. Both receiver replaced. However after few months, yesterday pilots did troubleshooting and found the fault is gone a…

Question for all the smart herk drivers out there...can anyone explain why the -1 uses TAS vs IAS when we talk decoupling? I haven't been able to find anyone who can explain the reasoning behind using TAS. The book says 150TAS will result in a decouple. Assuming standard day/standard lapse rate 150TAS would give you around 147IAS at 1,000ft and 125IAS at 10,000ft...is the force at 10,000ft and 125IAS enough to force a decouple being that there is less air molecules available to cause the -6000pds negative torque required to decouple the prop? Wouldn't IAS be a better measure of force against the prop then TAS since TAS is only "the speed of the aircraft relative to th…

have to forgive and old man with failing memory but i've been meaning to ask about the horizontal protrusions on the vertical stab. Are those different VOR antennas since I can't make out the "old" flush mount VORs where they were in my time. From the looks of it, so many antennas have changed. The VOR, HF, UHF, VHF, FM, ADF, etc. I have a pic shot from above of a bird that has 4 antennas just aft of the center escape hatch. Got it from the gallery. It might be 84404 but I can't be sure. Plus a string of antennas aft of the SKE radome.

Hi everyone out there, I am in the hydro backshop at Dyess AFB. This is my first post!. I have a question about the ramp actuators. According to the TO to put masking tape over the nut, then fill the elephant ear up with behalf "to the top of the nut and three adjacent nuts" then remove the tape. What is the purpose of this? Is the b 1/2 just there to prevent corrosion? Our swing shift red x guy keeps pulling the b 1/2 off and filling it to the very top of the channel every time... very frustrating! any thoughts!

APU puzzle
by pjvr99- 3 replies
- 1.8k views
APU came from overhaul, ran through test cell - all good. Installed on aircraft, bleed air on, but no load, there is a 5 - 10psi pressure surge, small EGT and RPM flux. When a load is applied (eg aircon pack), it stabilizes. Removed and sent to test cell, again nothing could be found. Installed on another aircraft, has the same problem. Replaced the load control valve, but still the same. Anyone have any ideas ...??

30 March: Just had a problem with an engine shutting down uncommanded during taxi. This is not the first time this has happened. The crew took it this time because they started back up and it was fine; this engine is a problem child. If we could get some help on this we would all very greatly appreciate it. If any more info is needed just let me know. Thanks a lot! Here is some history on it: 25 Feb: #4 Secondary Fuel Pump Pressure Light Illuminated. Changed the Secondary Fuel Pump Pressure Switch, it taxied out and came right back with the same problem. We changed the switch again, along with the paralelling valve and high pressure fuel filter. Ops check good. …

Anyone seen an overpressure in the 3850-4000+ range? If so did your rudder boost (if flaps were up) increase but not to the overpressure valve (due to the de-boost)? I do not know the bypass capability of the pressure relief valve for the rudder but if it can bypass enough to limit the 3000 input to 1100 to 1400 output then a increase to the input of 1000 should not make a huge difference. Maybe the increase would be in the 1400 to 1600 caution range…. Any ideas?

Friends, I am looking for someone who can help me to help some South African Air Force friends. They received some F models from USN and little to no data. Date received was circa 1996. They are primarily interested in the amount of mods (if any) performed to the OW's. If you know someone who would share their sagely wisdom please ask them to contact me at bbeene@cox.net or through this site. Sorry but this is not a paying gig; just a favor to some old Herc friends. thanks
