SlickMDS Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 On acft 62-1793, s/n 3743 there is a probe that is approx. half down the rt outbd l/e, any input to what this is/was for? It can be seen in Bob's gallery of photos for this acft, you can see the probe on acft of like year but not all of them have it. I have searched through all my available books and cannot find a reference to this. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Maybe one of the geezers can confirm ;-), but I was told that it was part of a stall warning system that didn't last long on the 130's. We had an AWADS aircraft at Ramstein that had one of those leading edges, but no wiring or other group A that could be found. I think it was on 6566 but not too sure, I'm quickly headed to geezer status myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinyclark Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 (edited) It was part of the old stall warning system. I've seen several that we pulled off. The wire numbers that go to it should be labeled MONA XXX-XX. many aircraft still have stall warning horns installed, right below the bottom of the pilot's instrument panel. There was never a TCTO issued that completely removed everything. Kind of like the Life history recorder TCTO that left the flight surface position indicators in. Not indicators, transmitters. Geeze... Edited February 14, 2009 by tinyclark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlickMDS Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 Thanks for info. I know I have been told that before but I'm also reaching that "geezer" status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinyclark Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I can send you the drawing if i can find it. We had one at Ramstein that had it and it was going to the Rodeo, so they removed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wombat Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 If anyone wants a picture of the probe I have a complete unit in my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
