  1. The only thing I remember is that you could not use plastic chocks on the c-141. If you are depending on any chock to stop a c-130 during a power run 'forget about it!!!). They were never banished from the C-130.

  2. Marines and Army still call it a chow hall. How is chow (definition: food, especially hearty dishes or a meal) derogatory? It must be the word "hall" that bothers the Boys in Blue. I have always called it a Chow hall and always will!!!

  3. I would never full jack on asphalt first of all next the slope max if I remember right is 2.5 %. If unsure about the surface you can always put steel plate larger than the jack pads under them to make the footprint larger. The slope and field condition was in the 1C-130A-2-3CL-1(I think).

    Currently nothing in the books to prevent jacking for any reason!

  4. We used the B- model books for all the E's.

    For example:

    TO 1C-130B-2-9

    FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEMS

    USAF SERIES

    C-130B, C-130E, C-130H AIRPLANES

    AF73-01580 THROUGH AF73-01598

    TO 1C-130B-2-2CL-6

    ORGANIZATIONAL MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST

    GENERAL AIRCRAFT APPLYING EXTERNAL POWER

    USAF SERIES

    C-130B, C-130E, C-130H,HC-130H/N/P

    USCG SERIES HC-130B AIRCRAFT

  5. Some quick things to look at:

    Check the scavenge system back pressure.

    Maximum is 30 PSI. Clean/replace oil cooler, fuel heater, hoses, and/or scavenge oil filter element as necessary

    to bring the pressure to normal.

    Make a ground run to see if oil consumption/venting

    is occurring all the time or just at altitude.

    Sometimes, draining all the oil, sumps, cooler, lines, etc., and refilling with new oil will solve the problem. Contaminated or mixed oil, or oil that has lost its anti-foaming characteristics may be the problem.

    If the problem appears to be altitude related, replace, as necessary, the oil tank pressurizing valve (old valve P/N 697218-l set at 3.5 +/- 0.5 PSI, new

    valve P/N 697218-3 set at 5 +/- 0.5 PSI), or the oil tank filler cap seal; and check the upper portion of the oil tank for cracks.

    During flight, determine if the problem of oil venting is related to air speed and/or attitude (nose high).

    NOTE: If venting occurs during or soon after takeoff regardless of attitude or altitude, the reduction gear prop

    shaft seal is suspect.

  6. Thanks, DONWON, for standin' in for all of us on this board, at the service. Guess the Joe Public people has never seen a decent man show his respects in such a manner. You did us all proud. Maybe some day there will not have to be any more military funerals, but the actions over the past couple days just says "look out there may be more." May our brother airmen rest in peace, with the knowledge they had a whole lot more guts than the slimy bastard that killed them..........

  7. This is from the GS. If I figure this right the lights will ony be operative after the test switch is acutated (fwd of aft). If they come on any other time the system failure either partial or complete, depending on the number of lights

    The anti-skid test and failure system consists of two independent logic circuits. These circuits are the system test logic and system failure logic.

    The function of the test logic is to verify the ability of the wheel control printed circuit cards to function dynamically. The system test logic provides a dynamic test for skid control circuits and an in flight test for the locked-wheel circuits. The system test may be performed only with the parking brake released. A 400 Hz simulated wheel-speed signal is applied to the forward or aft control section by the test switch. When the test switch is released the test

    signal is removed from the control section. The removal of the test signal appears to the control section as a skid which results in a valve signal to operate the test indicators. Failure logic provides a full time check for failures that would cause the system to be totally or partially inoperative.

  8. Straight out of the book SKYFLEX is still authorized as of CHANGE 15 - 15 MARCH 2009, unless of course you have a supplement somewhere stating that!!

    Sealant Tape, PTFE (skyflex)

    Thin non-metallic wedges, cutters and scrapers

    Warning tags

    Washers, teflon, part No. GUA6003 (as required when

    using PTFE tape in lieu of MIL-S-8784 sealant)
