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
- 8.5k 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
- 5.7k 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…

Here at LRAFB it has become common pratice to remove both flap baffles and allow the aircraft to continue to fly if one or both flap baffles are found to have a rub or be cracked. I guess this does not change the aerodynamic properties of the aircraft with flaps extended or the performance data in any way since STAN/EVAL and maintenance say this is acceptable. This doesn\'t really seem right to me but I can\'t find a reference in any publication that says it can\'t fly in this configuration. I have looked in the flight manual, lockheed manuals, 27JG, and every other publication I could think of. Kind of seems like flying with a panel missing, does anyone have any refe…

Hello all, I\'m looking for a part number for cloth sleeving- I\'m referring to the covering used over wire bundles or harness to protect the wires. I have some plastic one\'s , but prefer the clothe. I think it has a better life span and is more flexible when used with test cables. any help would be appreciated. Thank you Jeremy

Got an interesting call the other day from Warner Robins concerning 64-14859. As most of us know this plane started out as a HC-130, then to a EC-130, and now it is a C-130E. The problem that Robins had was that the RH Horizontal Leading Edge had extra exterior plating on the L/E of the structure. I finally got them to send some pics and sure enough this exterior plating runs the full length of the L/E. They said this L/E is from a Talon. They didn\'t specify which MDS. I know it isn\'t from the Talon II, but what about the T1? They were telling me it is a Flare deflector?? I looked in both the 1C-130H-4 and 1C-130(M)H-4 and the part numbers cross reference each other. …
