CRAW Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 PILOT ALT SELECT AND ALT HOLD UNSAFE WHILE COUPLED TO AUTOPILOT. IN CLIMB WITH ALT SELECT AND NAV LOC ARMED AND APPROX 5 DEG NOSE UP, COMMAND BARS PITCH UP 18 DEG. AT LEVEL FLIGHT WITH ALT HOLD AND NAV LOC ARMED, COMMAND BARS PITCH DOWN 5 DEG AND AIRCRAFT FOLLOWS. SYSTEM WORKS 4.0 ON COPILOT SIDE. WHAT DO YOU THINK? WE HAVE A BRAND NEW FLIGHT COMPUTER. BAD ADC? BY THE WAY WE HAVE A C-130T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NATOPS1 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 C-130T huh, Navy... What Altitude alterter do you have? Enhanced? If it is new and "updated" it has issues... Still working on a fix as well as not all aircraft will be affected... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshdegroa Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 They updated out altitude alerter some 6 monthgs ago i believe. would it have anything to do with a possible bad adc sending wrong veritcal error codes? This gripe is still haunting us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdenn_58 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Have you been able to duplicate this with a -205 tester? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinyclark Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Why not swap the ADSs? The newer ADS units use ARINC429 data. There could be something wrong with it. I have no wiring data for you birds. You don't have any NATEC guys that can help you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshdegroa Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Ok, just got back to work from the weekend. Realized that all of our birds have this gripe written up with the altitude alerter mod. None of them capture altitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhazlett Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 the problem with the lowest bidder. Im sick and tired of the Navy taking the cheapest route. Now we have gripes on our A/C that will not be s/o until 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
