Hi Folks, I'm currently planning a new module, the fuel-management. Can anybody help me with the question why the fuel management panel of a J-model (the one with the rotary switches and digital readouts) has only one tank selector? What is that rotary switch controlling? I dont find anything about a fuel selector in the public available schemata. Regards Thomas If anybody ist interested in the current status of my sim: https://c130-sim.weebly.com/

Hye guys. I really need help. I had an experienced on this issue. Mine generator disc indicator on the overhead panel not illuminate during test. Before test, my aircraft do experience generator out light and failed bearing light illuminate in flight. Pilot tried to disconnect the generator with the gearbox using generator disconnect system, however the indivator didnt illuminate and it forced pilot to shutdown #3 engine to avoid catastrophic mechanical failure. On the rectification after the flight, it found that the generator had broken with shaft do also broken. From my understanding, failed bearing light is due to mechanicle failure or maybe due to the broken of the g…

KC-130T buno 313 and up, Having an issue where the CARA will lose altitude intermittently while in flight. Sometimes it will happen on takeoff or descent other times it will happen while cruising. (Aircrew will sometimes associate it with nav select switching but cannot be duplicated) CARA will fluctuate under 50 feet while airborne causing GPWS to go off for low altitude sometimes resetting the breaker will return it to normal other times if terrain changes it will return to normal on its own. Have replaced pilots indicator, CARA R/T and antennas but gripe still remains. Also I have shot the cables with a TDR and they seem normal. Any insight would be greatly apprec…

Hello all, Working on a KC-130T-30 and having an issue with the #2 and #4 generators holding a load. Replaced multiple components: #4 gen contactor, one of the bus tie contactors, #2/4 GCP, #4 voltage regulator. Generators will power on and give good freqs and voltages but when switched to on will not carry essential bus or a heavy load. Occasionally we can get either to pick up a bus or remove applied loads and slowly turn items on till the gen out light illuminates and freq and volts are zero. Have verified wire continuity and voltages while gen is operating normally everything checks good. When gen is in a failed state the normal voltage at the voltage regulator …

good evening to everybody im experiencing a "RADAR DEGRADED" CAUTION ACAWS on a C130J with a generic diagnostic message LPCR BIT FAIL FC3442010. The radar seems to work fine but after the power up bit completes the CAUTION pops up, troubleshooting the fault isolation for this fault codes nothing looks bad. I replaced all the LRUs and the ECBUs which apply power to the system. Any hint?

Hello C130 professionals! In an E Model Hercules, Flight Director Flag (FD flag) came in view on Co Pilot side PFD on ground during normal checks. Against the defect, all associated LRUs were replaced/swapped with serviceable ones. Even the PFD was swapped with pilot side, yet the flag did not disappear. Continuity of wiring was also double checked and was found SAT. No visible issue was observed yet the flag did not disappear. Autopilot engages without any defect and is working fine. Any ideas as to what might cause this or any previous experience, please do share. Thanks!
