Does anyone know of a service bulletin that calls out measuring the skin thickness of the one-piece external tanks? P/N 388236-1. I have three SFAR 88 SBs, not one of them specifies minimum thickness.

Our GTC85-180L APU starts and runs well. However, it doesn't supply bleed air. We have isolated the load control valve. We equally isolated the APU control switch as well as pressure regulator. We cleaned in-line filter. Despite these steps, APU still doesn't supply bleed air. It is strange to us and I am wandering if anyone has had this type of experience before and the possible solution. Thanks.

I have an old 501D13, (T56) built in 1954. We use it to pull air through a wind tunnel. I had to swap it out with an engine that was sitting in an engine can for 5 years. The new engine is giving me hot starts and high fuel flow at ground idle. I checked and rechecked the rigging. Swapped the TD valve and fuel control. This engine is unique, it does not have a TD amp, or TD control. Any ideas at what else I can look at or swap out to see if I can get this problem fixed? Its a difficult problem to diagnose because its run by a computer using a PLC.

GTCP85-180L starts and run well. However, no bleed air from the APU. Load control valve replaced with new one but no change. In addition, APU doesn't shut down normally unless by the pull of fire handle. Any help please?

hi. Recently, an oil filter defect occurred in one engine continuously. I checked the filter and checked it out and found that the filter and support were purple. All the filters in the whole line were purple. Have you ever experienced this?

Hey guys Here's a problem that has me stumped. Engine starts up to LSGI (auto & null TIT peaks about 810°C). When upshift to NGI engine rpm is 95% and generator will not come on line. You need to manually reset ON or move throttle to speed up the engine. All engine parameters are good at all throttle settings, IBIT check good. Only GI/FL rpm is lower than usual, but not out of limit. Generator circuits check good, with all relays, control panel etc having been replaced, and even generator replaced. Any thoughts on this issue would be appreciated PJ

We have a 74 model H1 with AN/AWY-1 single system autopilot, (Air Force Standard Flight Director, C12 Compass, single INU) that has had a perplexing discrepancy for a few years. With the FDMS switches in SCNS, AP2 selected on the FCP and LNAV/NLOC selected on the mode select panel the write up reads as follows "AP2 will not capture beam with SCNS selected". During the ops check with switches in the aforementioned positions the "N/L ARM" display on both pilot and copilot FPWU annunciators remain on and they never go to "N/L CAP". When AP1 is selected and all switches as listed, they system works as advertised and immediately the N/L CAP annunciator comes on. With that …

Fuel control roughly 60 rich. Push throttle above crossover tit corrects roughly 820. Pull throttles just below crossover tit stays at 820. Below crossover tit will only correct back when switch is placed to NULL. All TD ops checks work as advertised. Valve is going to a locked position below crossover with the switch in AUTO. Considering the valve works like a champ in AUTO and also in locked not suspecting the valve to be the culprit. Changed AMP, coordinator, & relay box. Have never come across this issue before any ideas?
