C-130 world, a month ago, I got a high press compressor! you all know the test you have to do @ 900°C TIT, oat-Paltitude and reading from a straight line on the indicator. We tripple checked all of our values before we startet to troubleshoot. We changed : T-block, harness, thermocouples, Y-cable We checked out TD amplifier. Still the observed we had 120Psi and calculated 117Psi. The is the first time in my career i\'ve seen this. I\'ve to check the remaining potentials of the compressor and turbine. someone a guess? OAT:44.79°F Pa:29.74 inhg dRB :evil:

Hi Few days back, when i was taking Off, while breaking ground, master fire warning light came ON along with No 2 fire handle light with audible warning Horn and went Off after 2-3 seconds. all engine parameters were found to be normal and light stayed ON for only 2-3 seconds and went off. Press to test circuit was found satisfactory with no visible signs/ indications of fire. We landed back safely without switching OFF the engine through a shorter landing pattern. Request your observations, advice and suggestions on actions taken and what other actions we should have taken please. Thanks

Have a -16 with an interesting problem during induction runs. During crossover checks it will go to lights out, but the light will stay out. No noticeable correction, but is 830 peak and corrected. Come back to F.I. and light is still out. Go to G.I. light is out. Reverse, you guessed it, still out. Will only come back on on downshift. Until again you go above crossover. All the rest of the TD checks are ok. The light will come on during overtemp protection check, and overtemp correction is provided...check good. Have not done any troubleshooting, or corrective action yet, as this was the induction run. I suppose it could be an amp problem, but I seem to recall…

So we changed a prop last week and during the maintenance run we discovered a flux. The flux only happens below crossover. Found it during a pitchlock check. Started when we came back 1% in locked. Flux is 2000 torque, 1-1.5% 50-100 TIT, 30 +-FF. When we actuate switches and pitchlock flux stops. Changed Valve Housing and problem continued. C130H-3 -15. Any Help?

Got a bird that will not overspeed to get a good pitchlock check on the #1 engine. Changed the valve housing, read 57 VAC to ground to valve housing connector and all resistance checks were within specs. Synchrophaser and rack was also changed. Even took the cover off the valve housing to observe the s.b. motor. How far is the \"rack\" supposed to go when you hit the switch? It moves some but not all the way to the end. Also we get no droop on #1 engine with sync on and master reduced to flt idle. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Does or has anyone actually done the rig check before installing liferafts? We have two airplanes that can\'t be rigged IAW the JG(probably all our planes). We suspect that the cables all remained the same and at sometime when the bottle head, conduit and cable requirements changed that it threw the rigs completely off. Incidently, prior to actually starting the rig with the properly equiped dummy bottles installed the deploy sequence was backwards. It was: Outbd bottle Outbd strap Outbd door Inbd bottle Inbd strap Inbd door

Can anyone out there tell me exactly where the pyrotechnics are located at on a HC-130P(King)? The reason that I am asking is because I have been tasked with doing an operational check on the pyro system and the only thing that I can come up with is the flare launch tubes. If I am wrong on this please let me know. Thanks for everyones help on this.

:blink: What does anyone know about this. It has been discussed at great length at work. And there is debate over fact or myth. Where did this terminology come from? Any input would be great.

Hey all! I am looking for some information on a couple of subjects and thought that someone might know what I\'m talking about. First subject: Do any of you remember back a few years ago when we were having to move the pilots and copilots O2 walkaround bottles to the galley wall when installing flight deck armor? I am looking for the TCTO or OTI that bascially stopped us from doing this anymore. I noticed in the 00GE-00-1 under armor installation that the slick as removed this task, however, the T1, T2, and MC-P still have this listed as a task. I am trying to do a Form 22 to have this removed from the armor installation for these aircraft. Second subject: How about…

I am a civilian and never worked on a C-130. I have an interesting concept for a new cargo pallet - where we can offload the equivalent of 5 pallets at one time - good for quick offload. Who in the hell do I talk to to see if the design works well and how do I sell it to the DoD?

Here\'s what\'s happening. Aircraft with hyd pressure applied by aux pump. Parking brake released, normal brakes selected, anti skid on and foot pedals depressed to hold brakes, The left forward anti skid valve will occasionally release brake pressure on the left forward brake dropping pressure to zero and then restores it back to 1800 psi. The other brakes drop just slightly. The control box, left anti skid control valve and the left forward transducer have all been replaced, having no affect. Wiring has all been shook down and visually checked. Aircraft had been flying fine days prior, came back with a brakes dragging write up, hyd shop bled brakes, ran follow …

According to the NDAA as passed by Congress: \"SEC. 141. LIMITATION ON RETIREMENT OF C-130E/H TACTICAL AIRLIFT AIRCRAFT. (a) Limitation- The Secretary of the Air Force may not retire C-130E/H tactical airlift aircraft during fiscal year 2008. ( Maintenance of Certain Retired Aircraft- The Secretary of the Air Force shall maintain each C-130E/H tactical airlift aircraft retired during fiscal year 2007 in a condition that will permit recall of such aircraft to future service.\" If I understand this correctly perhaps there is some hope for rewing/repair of these old birds.

Gentlemen, According to the Flight Manual, Flight Idle RPM is 92.5-100.5 %. If RPM in flight idle were to decrease as low as 92.5% what would prevent the acceleration bleed valves from opening below 94%. Do they actually open during Flight Idle operations in this case? Thanks all.

Which oil are you guys using for servicing the cargo and fd turbines. The MM calls for MIL-L-6085 but we have a turbine with a tag calling for 23699 engine oil, which I have never used for the turbines.

Manually draining refuel manifold 1 2
by Guest- 31 replies
- 12k views
I have heard many reasons why the manual says to drain the SPR manifold manually. I just wanted to throw this out there and find out why after you have already accomplished draining the roughly 200lbs of fuel with the drain pump the manual says to drain the residual into a container. It seems to me that the mere half gallon of fuel left in the manifold would be far fetch to call it a weight and balance issue. And the old a rock might burst the manifold open on t/o or landing is not actually going to get that small amount to spill anywhere. In reality the JP-8 we use would be much more volatile in a vapor form in that manifold to cause an explosion or fire of the sort…
