We have had an issue with the air crew writing up cargo comp A/C pack distributing weak air flow on a 89 model (c-130h). We have already changed a bad low temp control valve, flow control shutoff valve. Also we checked for the water separator/sock for and icing or contamination. Did not find any leaks with the heat exchanger and the turbine is running like a champ. We suspect the crew is writing it up because it’s been really hot lately and until they get the engines going they will have less air with the APU. Some people want to throw a turbine at the aircraft but its working fine with great suction and the air is cooling. I was hoping to find someone with …

Please...Please...Correct me if I am wrong, I have been kicking myself about this for a while now: The ADH's RPM is that of the RGB, 1020RPM. It has to be, seeing that the Speed Sensing Control is an alternate mounting site for the Tach Generator, 1020RPM = 100% RPM. Why then, when setting the 94% switch on the Speed Sensing Contol, would we set it to activate between 3830RPM and 3930 RPM?

Anybody out there ever drop a Herk off post PDM jacks & trestles with no engines attached? My engines are on their way from down under but the last air freight service to Yemen from the Gulf has just been cancelled and they have to come by boat giving me a long delay. (Probably end up in Somalia anyway). Last weight and balance data cannot be found so i have to guess the ballast requirments. It's a basic C-130H so i figure weight about 75K and C of G around 560-570. I'm planning to ballast with about 8K. Cargo door is still removed. Also, any help with how to pack F2-B liferafts would be most appreciated. I have no survival equipment staff here and the old ones disint…

63 E models through 1st gen Hs have a light on the SPR panel. It is labled; WARNING DO NOT TURN MASTER SWITCH OFF (Light is placed here) DUMP PUMPS ON My instructor told me what it was about way back when but that brain cell was KIA. I know the plane won't blow up if you turn the switch off with dump pumps on. What say the HerkyBird members, why did they put that light there?

My current USAF T.O. states that flaps should not be extended during an EGR. However, a Lockheed Rep visiting us in Muscat a few years ago told me that Lockheeds recomendation was for 50% flap to be used at all Hi-power settings to relieve the stress on the tail and to have at least 12K of fuel on board to counter the increased lift. What is the current thinking on this issue?

I can not find a part number for a phenolic block, the block is in the NLG. Their are two hydraulic lines that go to the steering control valve and the two swivels on the upper left side of the nose gear. There is a bracket on the NLG upper assembly. The two hyd lines run through a phenolic block. I need to know what where to find the part number. I have tried the 1C-130H-4 and found nothing.

Can anyone pls help with the part numbers,qty required and installation guide for a full T80 fit of troop seating. At my current location there is no seating available and the families of military personnel have to fly sitting on the floor. It would be most appreciated for any help in making their Herk experience (especially the kids) more comfortable and a little bit more safer.

OK... Currently the ACI&EFC Inverter is in the Ess AC Bus position for takeoff (KC/C-130T) and all the other models I have inquired about... (Older aircraft) Question is why not run the inverter and take advantage of the "auto switch" function if the inverter fails while preventing the need to "manually switch" the inverter ON if the Ess AC Bus fails. I cannot find a reason to NOT use the inverter it just has always been this way. So run the inverter until after takeoff and then switch it to the Ess AC position at some point in the climb/after takeoff checklist. Pro Cons Need some good feedback on this please.

Hi guys A question arose the other day. We usually fly with max differential on our pressurization system. We set 1000' on the dial and then keep it until reaching max diff. That occurs around 19000' (don't have my dash-1 handy). We started discussing the benefits of that versus the stress on the fuselage. Anyone of you already discussed this subject, or is there even any guidance regarding the fact that we may fly with lower cabin pressure in order to ease on the fuselage? I know that the dash1 doesn't say anything about it but its common sense that the same number of cycles in fuselages that suffer max diff or "medium" diff will be different. Thanks

Hi guys As the dash1 says the descent on clean config should be done with idle power and speeds acording with the area we're flying in and then 250 KIAS from 20000' downwards. The thing is that we follow a squadron rule that says that we should set around 3000 lb torque for the descent. We were discussing that on one of those long flights... (we had already talked about the ladies ) and no one really knew why was that because its been done like that for 30 years. The thing is that i couldn't find the reason for that teqnique. My AC was telling me that his guess would be for pressurization purposes, that in idle the capability of the engine to output the same flow via…

I'm working on simulating the landing and refused takeoff of a C-130, particularly I want to know how far the aircraft goes before it stops. I have a program developed by NASA that simulates these things for a general aircraft. To simulate a specific aircraft, the user must gather the aircraft's specifications to be input. Included among these inputs are a bunch of curve files that are tables of values showing how things like the lift and drag vary with speed and altitude. I was wondering if anyone here would know where I can gather curve files for the lift and drag of the C-130 Aerobrake, Engine, Flaps, Slats, Speedbrake, Spoiler, and Thrust Reversers. As well as…

In the E-model C130-1 under fuel contaimination check ,it states that the check must be done under a high power condition/setting. In the C130-1 for h model fuel contaimination it just states monitor rpm,and tit,and torque for approx 1 min. Was high power setting ommitted by mistake in the h model -1 or with the -15 engines its not needed? Thanks in advance!!!
