    That was before the \"DADTA\" (Damage and Deterioration Tolerance Assessment) studies and calculations. Several studies have been done, and the numbers seem to get worse each time.

     

    The calculation provides a factor to de-rate (multiply) the hours logged on the airplane, based on the mission type, ie, low-level, heavyweight, etc, and the environmental conditions (corrosive atmosphere) where the airplane has been operated/assigned.

     

    Some airplanes now can only fly one-fourth their original projected life. For people, early retirement sounds good; but for airplanes, it doesn\'t seem right.

    What is the service life you use for your C-130J

    Thank you for your reply. I also found it on our 1C-130H-2-10 PAGE3-3, but there is still no way to use it. I heard our senior maintenance staff said that it does not use any engine or APU. In this case, use a cabin pressure truck to test the fuselage pressure.

     Does anyone know the use of this device in C-130H?

    I asked a senior before that this is the position where the fuselage is pressurized when the aircraft leaves the original factory. Is this correct?

    Its a port for pressurize the ac on ground by ground tester. We still use it in C-130B.

  3. In C-130B aircraft tail no 58-0754 Lockheed no 3553 right rear mlg vertical beam got cracked. According to ipc 130B-4 the part no is 373014-1 L/R we tried to replace it by 373014-3 L/R as previous part no not available.but it is found not matched with the existing one.Now can we replace it with 388482-32?

  4. While #1,and#2 eng running utility sys press,  Brake press, and rudder booster pressure is 2800 psi but when the control stick moves extreme forward perss drops to 2000 psi and remain same but when control stick puts back it is normal.....when elevator booster shutoff switch puts off the press indicated normal....no hydraulic leakage found from the system.

    we alrady cleaned and replace the hyd filters.

    please give me some suggestions on this regurd....

    You have to refer to the 1C-130A-3 for guidance. If you find nothing there, you must request technical assistance from Lockheed. It is known that those screws strip out and the elevator torque tube collar bolt holes get elongated. The only repair for the torque tube collar issue is replacement. I do not think using oversized bolts were authorized, but I am not 100% sure on this.

     

    thanks a lot. yes just the same happened...I will be very pleased to get further information about this.....
