  1. Thank you all, particularly NATOPS1, for your assistance. The problem has been rectified. We started by ensuring that there was no known short in the electrical lines. Thereafter, we replaced the voltage regulator, generator control panel and, most importantly, the #2 contractor. We carried out engine ground run and there was no more burning of the voltage regulator.
  2. Yes, that was done. GE gen with GE VR while Bendix gen was with Bendix VR.
  3. The GE voltage regulator burns each time we run the engine. We have replaced 3 voltage regulators and they all got burnt. We also replaced generator. When we installed Bendix, we had high voltage. Anyone with idea of what could be causing this?

  5. Yes. The problem has been solved. We applied sealant to tank #2 and allowed it to cure very well. Now, there is no more leak and the aircraft is back in service.
  6. We believe the load control valve is not opening. We confirmed that the load control valve is not the issue because we tested it on another APU and it worked.
  7. Our GTC85-180L APU starts and runs well. However, it doesn't supply bleed air. We have isolated the load control valve. We equally isolated the APU control switch as well as pressure regulator. We cleaned in-line filter. Despite these steps, APU still doesn't supply bleed air. It is strange to us and I am wandering if anyone has had this type of experience before and the possible solution. Thanks.
  8. GTCP85-180L starts and run well. However, no bleed air from the APU. Load control valve replaced with new one but no change. In addition, APU doesn't shut down normally unless by the pull of fire handle. Any help please?
  9. New primary servo motor for elevators and ailerons installed. System undergoing test. Outcome would be made known.
  10. C130 autopilot engages but doesn't couple. Coupler/controller, amplifier and servo motor replaced but discrepancy persists. Anyone with any idea to solve this problem? Thanks.
  11. whats the latest on your fuel leak

      Aircraft grounded for more professional intervention.

      Yes. We have carried out extensive sealing using A1/2 and B1/2 sealants. Job completed and allowed to cure. We are awaiting functional check flight to confirm if the leak has stopped. 

  12. Ok, we will do that. However, will the venting pass through the normal vent or can leak as shown in the video?
  13. The fuel leak stopped during landing. The crew said the fuel blown off during landing was suspected to be from the residual fuel accumulation during the leak in flight.
