    Couldn't tell ya, been out of the loop for over 3 years.

    Yea, private message me your address. I used to work on and fly with those birds at Rhein Main.

    Just wondering why you would de-mod it? Are they causing problems? TCTO 1C-130-1914 is replacement to the Center Wing box. Don't know why that would pertain to it.

    I thought there was one in the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, but I don't see it on the map or in the list of aircraft.

    All of the USAF hydraulic and general maintenance books that I have don't mention anything about the installation, even the A-model hydraulics book. If you contact Lockheed Martin, they would probably have to look at some archived materials. I kind of doubt that anyone working there would even know, since this is an early 50's design. IMost of the engineers that worked on the design would probably be retired from life by now. But if you do find something, please post it.

    What's it used for?

    You'll probably have to contact Lockheed Martin.

    Since I have no idea what you are referring to, and can't go out and look at an aircraft anymore, I am bowing out of this one.

    I don't know about hero, they sure didn't think so when I told them that they could "screw up" a steel football.

    That leads me to a story. When I got to Norton AFB in 1981, a lot of the guys were telling me that the cleared-covered splices sucked. I hadn't even seen them at Rhein Main, we only had pink & blue for avionics work. I started checking out the problem, small wires easily broke loose of the crimp. I decided to go into the T.O., yeah, imagine that, and found that the clear splice required a different crimp die than was used for pink and blue splices.

    Yes, it is the same APU on the J.

    There is nothing in the new job guide for power plant replacement that mentions this.

    Sorry Munir, I missed that post. I was also looking for something in writing.

    I don't see those TCTOs in my files. Are you talking about the transformer/rectifiers?

    Thanks for posting. I just got a copy of the article. Thanks to Tim Martin and Gary Chelette from Moody AFB for solving this.

    This was addressed in Lockheed Service News Vol 10, #4. I lost my library of those, but I am reaching out. If anyone else has it, check it out and post.

    Ahhh, OK, so it opens outward. Hmmmmmmmm
  18. tinyclark
    Good question, but I'm just a pointy head.

    There really is no info on it that I can find. Given it is just a spring loaded flapper that opens into the dry bay from the rear beam, I would think it is some sort of atmospheric pressure relief system, but I can't find anything on it. It is visible from the flap area, correct?

    What part number do you have for the valve?

    It always helps to list what year aircraft you are referring to. There are so many different wiring diagrams.

    Never got to work on that system in all my years on the C-130. Are the ADIs and other NAV signals stable when this is happening? Sometimes it's hard to see when the pilots are worrying about the movement of the aircraft. I would go in and check all the terminal board connections, even going so far as to loosening and tightening. Don't forget TB101 at FS 617.

    TO 1C-130H-4-11-1

    I think this was a TCTO to be done during depot maintenance. I have been retired for 3 1/2 years so I am not exactly sure of the status. I don't know if it is being done at overseas depot locations or on any foreign military service aircraft, since the USAF is paying for it. They will be replaced only one time, this is not part of any scheduled depot work.
