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…

Does anyone have any information on what brought this TCTO about? Such as where the first ones were found bad and how it snow balled. Also, what were the common practices to get these completed, and lessons learned.

Just a quick note to let everyone know the replacement for the Allison/Rolls Royce 23003276/6799323 thermocouple testers is out there. The new part number is 23076502. NSN 6685-01-569-7682. The Equipment Manager at WR-ALC will not procure the new unit unless he hears from the field. So let him know you want the new part number. If you have any questions, give me a PM.

I am looking for the T.O. Number for rebuilding -117 props out of the box after overhaul. I am also looking for the T.O. Number for installing overhauled engines into the QEC. Can anybody give me an NSN or manufacturer for the LT-27 rear lord mount inspection guage, and the part numbers for the weighing scales and adjustment cone to weight and balance the flight control surfaces. Any help would be most appreciated.

Whenever we shutdown our GTC, we noticed that there's a leak coming from somewhere... We checked the oil pump and bypass valve but its doing fine. Any recommendations from you experienced guys?

We had an incident where one of the propellers on an aircraft went into an uncommanded reverse. Has anyone experienced this? It is the first time in (our) history that something like this has happened. It is still under investigation and is of huge concern to us because this incident happened on a pre-take-off run. Any suggestions/help will be appreciated!

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!!!

Anyone know the exact number of turns on the flap manual drive to go full travel? They told us in tech school, but that was almost ten years ago and I've forgotten. That and whenever I try to count I get frustrated around 150 turns and quit.

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.

Does anyone have numbers for the test stand maximum static thrust for the various engine and prop combinations used on the Herc over the years? I'm interested in doing some theoretical comparitive takeoff performance calculations for the standard USAF Herc models A,B,E,H,and J. The method I'm using is based on some simplified thrust-to-weight equations and works better with actual test stand results than by using the handbook spec figures for shp and torque. Am particularly interested in the A,E,&H all of which I flew. Thanks

Just wondering…what kind of restrictions do any of the operators represented in this forum have about Heavy airdrops in the stretched version of the Herc? I know some just don’t do it at all but since there is no flight manual restriction…. Any inputs on that?!

I have a question, and what I got for a response from two F.E.s here at Moody, I'm not sure they understood. Or maybe I don't understand. When the external tank dump switches are placed to DUMP, the voltage which operates the TANK EMPTY lights is removed from the circuit. How do you know when to shut the pumps(s) off? Do you just use the pressure reading? Seems kind of dumb to me, but I'm just a pointy head.

Hi all, I'm new here, and found the site after a lengthy search. Looks like a great site, and am already finding it hard to leave the computer. Can anyone pont me to a place where I may be able to find the differences between the sub models in the C-130H. EG. I know that the RAAF use the C-130H-3 and found some technical specs on it, but the USCG use the C-130H-7. I'm only guessing but it would appear to me that the number is a modification designator within the H model. Thanks, Sean

Hi- I am curious about the location of a DIRCM pod on a Herc. The phrase "DIRCM" here could be used in the generic form. I think DIRCM is easily confused with LAIRCM (which began testing on C-130's in 2004) I read on Global Security -dot- Org (dated 2005) that there are 59 C-130's in USSOCOM that have this thing on it. I found an image of tail 69-6574 here: http://www.herkynoseart.com/images/6574_gunship_3.jpg I am 90% certain this image shows a DIRCM pod, but can anyone confirm? Thanks, Smudge

Hello I’ve been around and learning with all of you for a while now but it’s my first time posting. My name is Rui and I’m a Herc driver in the Portuguese Air Force…. I’m also a proud SUPT grad! I did some of my best flying in the states…unfortunately not in the Herc The question I have is simple: would you, as a crew, have any special consideration while dumping with an outboard engine on fire? I’m asking because it is not in the flight manual and there as been some discussion in my sqn. about how you should dump in that situation. Some have the opinion that you should dump from the opposite dump mast only (we fly H models with dump valves). Some others say …
