On the Belgian C-130's there is a recurring malfunction of the airconditioning system. Due to their faulty measurements other systems are influenced. The defects occur on the thermosensor in both the cargo and flight deck. In some cases the wiring goes awry or the butterfly valve stop working. Is there someone who has encountered the same problems and might have pinpointed the reason why these problems are occurring? Any advice on how to prevent these errors? Thanks in advance

Hi all, I'm currently in my last year at university. In order to graduate as an aeronautical engineer I'm supposed to write a thesis and do an internship. I'm an intern at the Belgian Air Force, 15th Wing Air Tpt at Brussels. In the Maintenance Group i'm an assistant in the department occupied with the inspection of the C-130H. Does anyone have a good subject for my thesis? Non destructive testing (NDT) of the structure isn't performed at the base itself, so that's not an option. Bird strikes could be, but that's not that common. FOD-damage was another option. But then again, I'm mainly interested in the repair techniques while on a foreign mission and I'm not able to travel with these guys due to the insurrance as a student. All help is welcome. Vic Beliën
