C130 Cargo Handling System

Front 1

Purpose of the cargo handling system

Back 1

To provide the c130 with a two fold cargo handling system

What type of cargo pallets is it designed to be used with

Back 3

463L in varying lengths

Front 4

What is the name of the cargo handling system

Back 4

A/A-32H-4A system

Front 5

How many outboard restraint rail assy does it have

Back 5

8

Front 6

What do these rails do 5 things

Back 6

Give forward, aft and vertical restraint, locking facilities for platforms and pallets and twenty sections of intermediate roller conveyor assy to provide mobility

Front 7

Where are the controls for the cargo handling system

Back 7

Front left of cargo comp in the corner

Front 8

What is the warning about the system

Back 8

Malfunction of the dual rail system causes loss of aircraft and crews. Great care for the cleanliness, lubrication and maintenance should be carried out

Front 9

Caution about mount bolts

Back 9

Certain bolts are significant to structure of the aircraft. Refer publications when moving or operating the aircraft with dual rails removed

Front 10

What sections are the short sections by the paradoors

Back 10

5b amd 6b

Front 11

Can 5b and 6b sections be removed without placing any limitation on aircraft

Back 11

Yea

Front 12

What colour are the structural bolts for dual rail

Back 12

Painted red

Front 13

How many detent latches are there on the left hand side

Back 13

Eleven

Front 14

Two modes of operation of left hand side

Back 14

Sequential operation

Simultaneous operation

Front 15

How does sequential operation work

Back 15

Will progressively extend each latch down length of rail as lever is ratcheted

Front 16

How to tell where the sequential system is up to

Back 16

Includes a indicator to show the sequence

Front 17

How does simultaneous operation work

Back 17

Moves all the latches at the same time

Front 18

Can each left latch be pinned individually in withdrawn position to prevent interference during aerial delivery

Back 18

Yes

Front 19

How much force can the left latches restrain fwd and aft

Back 19

20,000lbs forward restraint

10,000lbs aft

Front 20

What happens if the left hand latches are left in the retract positions for long periods of time

Back 20

Tends to damage the latch springs. This can lead to inadvertent releasing of loads in flight

Front 21

What sides of the cargo systems do what

Back 21

Left does logistical

Right does aerial delivery and can also be used for logistics

Front 22

How many rh latches are there

Back 22

11

Front 23

How can the latches be used in aerial delivery mode

Back 23

Individually or in groups

Front 24

What are the right latches rated to for lbs restraint

Back 24

20,000lbs fwd

500 to 4,000 aft

Front 25

How is the variation achieved for right aft restraints

Back 25

Individual adjustment compressing spring

Front 26

What will cause the rh latch adjustment to reduce service life

Back 26

Leaving at too high a setting for extended periods of times

Front 27

How many lever positions are there for rh latches

Back 27

4

Front 28

What are the 4 rh lever positions

Back 28

Check

Normal

Emergency

Load

Front 29

What does check do

Back 29

Full down position mechanically checks latch is fully locked in extended position. If not handle will not go full down

Front 30

How does normal selection work

Back 30

Locks each latch detent to provide both fwd and selected aft restraint

Front 31

How does emergency selection work

Back 31

Releases all aft restraint but remians fwd restraint

Front 32

How does load selection work

Back 32

Retracts all right latches completely to allow free movement of pellets during loading

Front 33

What position should the right hand lever always be left in

Back 33

Normal position

Front 34

How do you test the serviceability of right hand latches

Back 34

Using a special tool and a torque wrench which tests the aft restraint breakaway force for a given setting of each latch

Front 35

When do you carry out a latch test

Back 35

Usually undertaken prior to commencement of aerial delivery

Front 36

How long does latch test last if you dont use the system

Back 36

14 days

Front 37

Do you have to re do test even if it is used for logistical role

Back 37

Yes

Front 38

What must you reset the adjustment to after test

Back 38

Returned back to zero and reset prior to a repeat test

Front 39

Why is this carried out

Back 39

If this requirement isnt carried out a lower reading will be obtained with each test

Front 40
