    That was the antidrug campaign.

    The only info I have is that TCTO 1C-130(M)H-532 did a flight deck NVG enhancement circa 96-'97. Some HC-130Ps were done in 2001 per TCTO 1C-130-1782.

    Send me your email address.
  4. tinyclark
    Wow! Wish I could help. May help reaching out to the units that have said props.
  5. tinyclark
    Wow, that's great.
  6. tinyclark
    Just wondering if you figured this out yet?
  7. tinyclark
    Got it. Can you choose independent INS or GPS to feed the FMS, or does the FMS take both inputs and create a solution? What model is this aircraft, and does it have dual INU?
  8. tinyclark
    While I was Avionics on 130s for years, I have never heard the terms ANP and RNP. Has any work been done around the mount?
  9. tinyclark
    Nothing is required, according to the drawing.
  10. tinyclark
    I remember being told that this was because of the aircraft sitting in the building jigs, which was higher than the aircraft sitting on the ground.

    It is named the Pressure test fitting in the TO and I can't find any real info on using it. The old 1C-130B-2-10 shows the fitting, but the book is not specific about hooking it up. This was back in the day when knowledge was handed down. It says to use an air cart though. "d. Start the MA-1A and pressurize the bleed air manifold." Suffice it to say, it was probably put there for manufacturing purposes to check the aircraft before any power was put on it to run the GTC.

    Try the rear beam of the Center Wing at right Wing Station 10, Water Line 264. If not there, contact Foreign Military Sales at Warner Robbins.
  13. tinyclark
    Where is it located?
  14. tinyclark
    Still hard to troubleshoot with an unknown system.
  15. tinyclark
    As they're such old TCTOs, I don't have that info.
