SergF Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Does anyone have any information on what brought this TCTO about? Such as where the first ones were found bad and how it snow balled. Also, what were the common practices to get these completed, and lessons learned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMPTestFE Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I understood that they were found on an AFSOC bird in PDM @ Robins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steffenhymel Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Do the wings have to be no-loaded before the nuts are changed if they are being done one by one? We found a bad one on a J-Model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaprad Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 We had a big thing here at Robins about that. The Engineers and QA said you could do one at a time without no-loading, but I'd get the paperwork on it before doing anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramrod Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 The TCTO that covered the inspection and replacement of the upper and lower wing attach barrel nuts for the C-130J stated wing loading was not required and to replace them one at a time.

SergF Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 TCTO refers you to the job guide where it says all that. I wish I could have gotten to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
