Manually draining refuel manifold 1 2
by Guest- 31 replies

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…

Hi guys I got a problem I need your thoughts with. Recently one of our birds twice turned back after oil temperature exceeded +-90°C at altitude. History: The aircraft just completed ISO, and post-dock runs had oil temps getting up to 100°C at ground idle. OAT was in mid 40\'s. Two different oil coolers were fitted, and oil tank was drained and serviced with new oil. After this it was released. The next mission off base the in-flight problem occurred, and the engine was removed for test cell evaluation. In the Cell I started by draining all the oil from tank, RGB, ADH, oil cooler, and motoring the engine to empty all the oil hoses and tubes, and changed all …

NVG Compatible Glass
by Guest- 10 replies

I know that some, perhaps all of the MC-130E\'s had new windshields installed for improved compatibility with Night Vision Goggles (NVGs). The original glass for the E models had transmissivity losses in the light spectrum of the NVGs. Does anybody know how many other platforms have been modified; and is NVG compatible glass available from Lockheed as part of the build for the J-models? John

Have a prop on a -16 that will not pitchlock. Prior to us getting the plane for ballistic foam install, the squadron had the same problem. They changed pitchlock reg., valve housing, then the gearbox sh*t the bed and the prop was seized on the shaft so they r2\'d the tq meter, gearbox, prop/dome. Sooo. They had a good pitchlock after all of that...once...so it could get here. We have tried all manner and techniques IAW pubs, and otherwise without success. It will overspeed without a problem, but does not even think about locking. Re-Indexed about 6 times (1x=2 then 3 master). Tried getting low/ref tq at about 97% then going to 1077 before locking and hitting g…
