JamesWatkins Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Hey Guys, Looking to return to the military. I need info on Maxwell. I checked the website, but it is the standard this a great place. What year are the planes? if anyone works there please feel free to contact me. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meh130 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Maxwell has C-130H2 Rosemount aircraft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinyclark Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Yup, 6 \'85 models and one \'89. One of them might be AMP\'d. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncleglenn Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Ok, I\'ll bite--just what is a C130 Rosemount aircraft? Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RZHill Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Four Pitot tubes, different minimum control speeds. RZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncleglenn Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 OK, Thanks RZ. Now, why or when do you have different min. control speeds? Is this something pecular to only certain models? It\'s been a looong time since I had anything to do with 130\'s, but I only remember 2 & 3 eng. min. control speeds. Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMPTestFE Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 You need different min control speeds if you have different engines. The higher power settings you get with an engine, the higher the min control speed. Also, the Rosemont pitot system gives you different speeds too, but not as dramatic as when you increase power. If 89-9101 is their only \'89 model, then yes, it has been modified by AMP and will not return to Maxwell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronc Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 One of the characteristics is that your charted in ground effect VMCA is higher than your out of ground effect VMCA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meh130 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 89-101 was originally a Youngstown bird. Maxwell originally had all 85 models, but later picked up an 86 model when Chicago closed. That aircraft later went to AFSOC to become MC-130W. Maxwell and Youngstown traded two tails and then 89-101 went to the AMP program. The 85 models have Rosemount pitot static systems, flush-mount HF antennas, and oil cooler augmenters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While you\'re partially correct with the engine power this has nothing to do with the Pitot system. The different speeds related to engine power has nothing to do with the Pitot static system. The different charted speeds related to Pitot static system differences is due to pitot mast locations and how the airflow is affected by the nose of the aircraft at different attitudes/airspeeds. These speeds are most notable at higher angles of attack as you would see at slower airspeeds such at takeoff/rotation, Vmca, etc. Several model herks have varied pitot mast locations with the Rosemount being the latest and most accurate system which others have posted, has 4 masts, two per side.
