How is the ASIP program being run for the MC-130P? In the -6 the sections for MC-E and MC-P are "reserved". Where is the Air Force getting data for these planes? I was thinking they could just be using data from all the other herks to track trends across the entire fleet including MC-Ps. Anyone know how it works for sure?

I have a static line retriever that is blowing the current limiters anytime the switch is (bumped) it wont blow the limiter if you just hold the switch but it blows when the switch is bumped just to bring in the cable a bit at a time. We have new relays on order but has anyone ever had this problem?

Just a fun one that came up at work today. What is everyones guess (Or even better, someone who has access to specific data) as to the total number of fasteners on a bone stock, unmodified new Herk? I'm talking about rivets, hilocks, bolts, screws ect.. The WHOLE lot. I am certain that this actual information is available, as every part, panel, and structural component has a print. I will try to find the real number, but in the mean time who has a guess. Helluva game of "how many jellybeans in the jar".

I need some help in painting a large scale model of a C-130. I have a picture of what I want to try to replicate, Can anyone tell me the FS # of the Gray on the lower fuselage? Secondly, I need the widths of the White-Red-White warning stripes on the prop tips. I seem to remember 2",3",2". If I am mistaken, please advise. For any and all, I can post pics of the model when I complete it if there is any interest among the membership. This may not be the correct forum for such a question, if so; I apoligise. Please know I am and will be greatful for any assistance. Thank you in advance.

What this triangular pod thing above the gear and what's the thing above the center windscreen between the horns? I've seen my share of MC-130s but these two mods are new to me.

I\'m hope someone out there has a sling for a Nose random. We\'re currently getting the new apn 241 mod,(Low power radar) and we don\'t have a sling for mounting the nose. (no more apn 59 Has anyone ever used this, the T.o. Calls for using a dolly, or the sling. the dolly looks like a big bulky item. Really don\'t need anymore of those lying around the AGE yard. I know your going to ask, how did we hang it last time? Answer-- The wrong way. Not following tec data. It\'s kinda funny, we received our new nose for our MC, and everything looks good, when they hung it, they found out it was a nose for an AC, apparently they are very close in size and almost th…

We are currently working on some pump housing showing leaks. The plane has been in cold weather, so we also have some blade leaks, but nothing abnormal. The other herk forum has lost the old posts from back when this question was asked, so I am hoping that some of you ol\' prop guys will repost your answers. The pump housing actually looks simple when the covers are off, but they aren\'t simple when tracing the source of leaks when part of the propller assembly. I am interested the causes of \"lip seal leaks\" and those that just look like lip seal leaks. We have three props now that appear to be lip seal leaks and none of them were overserviced. Perhaps, wh…

Cannon AFB

I overheard some mutterings about some concerns pertaining to (the future) H-model gunships flying out of Cannon. It has been said that if an airplane is on takeoff from the Cannon altitude on a hot day (typical in the summer months) with a nominal load of ammo and fuel, a hiccup on an engine could spell disaster. Surely, someone in Ops has looked at the numbers and provided an input to the higher command......

Got a utility hydraulic system that shows normal level until the engines are running. The level comes down quite a bit, several inches. However, when the engines are shutdown and system is un pressurized, the fluid level comes back to the same as before. Where is the hydraulic fluid going? What is causing this drastic drop in hyd fluid level?

Nose Radome Anti-Ice
by Guest- 20 replies
- 7.2k views
Several years ago, I recall there was an Air Force TCTO that disabled the (hot) bleed air nose radome anti-icing on most of the USAF C-130s. Supposedly, the hot air system was causing delamination and/or deterioration of the fiberglass layers in the radomes, driving the radome reliability rate down to an unacceptable level. It seems the new radome that comes on the J-model does not have an anti-icing capability either. Any feedback from flight crews on icing conditions (?), or was it never really a problem to begin with.

Ballast Fuel
by 8252- 6 replies
- 4.4k views
Brothers, I am putting together a NATOPS change to include an easy to understand definition of \"Ballast Fuel\". Our NATOPS does not mention it at all. This has been a source of much debate and a soure of confusion to trainees. I am a Little Rock trained FE and was trained on this. The new trainees are not being tought TOLD data the same. My understanding is to use the Fuel Management charts to find the required landing fuel in the wings for a specific cargo weight. Then to get your g load factor and max airspeed. Which is usually only a factor in the decent. I understand that this is usually only a consideration over approx. 30k cargo. Further, my unders…
