eliasafr Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Is there any indication in the flight deck for pressurization failure in C-130H or C-130E aircraft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NATOPS1 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Yes, if you are looking. The cabin altimeter on the copilots instrument panel and the Pressure controllers differential pressure gauge. I think the true answer you are looking for is: No, there is no warning system for a high cabin altitude. Nothing that is originally installed equipment but there have been a few after market systems used. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n1dp Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 It took a while for the old brain to kick in. I remember many a Functional Check Flight checking this: Low Cabin Air Pressure Warning Light 28V ESS DC CP Side CABIN LOW PRESSURE WARNING A low cabin air pressure warning light on the copilot’s instrument panel will illuminate if the cabin altitude exceeds 10,000 feet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victorp1 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 n1dp, That sounds like the L-382E/G or L-100-30 aircraft. The light will extinguish when the cabin altitude decreases to approximately 8,000 feet. I am not sure what C-130H or C-130E has this modification in their aircraft.
