the C-130 ircr ftThe Air Force operates C-13OA and C-130B aircraft, carrying pas-sengers and cargo a l l over the world. Some C-130A and C-130B Ai Force md Navy airplanes are equippedwith skis for operation n the polar regiom.

United States Marine GV-1 airplanes (similar to Air Force C-130B s)are designed for fuel tanker use-

SC-13OB s are equipped to sene in various rescue operation roles wi ththe Coast Guard.

C-13OA s are in service with the Royal Australian Air. Force, whileaddi t ional C-130 s o cheduled fgr other k r e i g n service.

The Aerial Photographic and Chart ing Service of the Air Force fliesC-130A airplanes.

\is booklet is wri t ten for air base firemen andcrash rescue crews. If these are your duties readingthe nex t few pages will acquaint you wi th the crash

At this writing there are two basic model C-130Hercules airplanes in service he G130A

medium cargo transport and the G130B long rangelogistics support airplane. Both models carry cargoand/or passengers. Also, some special versions ofthe G130A's are used for aerial photography andcharting. Others are equipped with skis for landingon snow. Some C-130B models are used for searchand rescue, as fuel tankers, and for ski applications.The differences between these several versions ofthe C-130, which may be of concern to you in yourcrash rescue and fire fighting responsibilities, arepointed out in the following pages.

Danger reasFUEL is usually carried in the wing tanks only;none in the fuselage section. However, the Marinetanker version can carry a 3600 gallon tank in thecargo compartment. Special purpose C-130's mayhave two or more 500 gallon tanks in the cargocompartment, or pylon tanks on the win~s.Fuel is normally JP-4, but could be other J P fuelsor aviation gasoline. Besides the fuel lines in thewings, there are lines leading to a gas turbine com-pressor (GTC) located in the left main landinggear fairing just forward of the landing gear. (ThisGTC is an auxiliary turbine engine. It provides airpressure for starting the airplane's engines.) Inaddition, a refueling line is located in the fairingjust aft of the right main landing gear. The air-plane is refueled by connecting a fuel truck to thisline.OXYGEN CYLINDERS and lines are located inthe forward section of the fuselage under the flightdeck floor on the C-130A. The early A modelshave a low pressure (400 psi) oxygen system whichserves only the flight crew. Modified A's have ahigh pressure (1800 psi) system.C-130B's also have the high pressure system; theseven oxygen cylinders which supply this system areinstalled overhead in the cargo compartment.The Coast Guard's C-130B airplanes may haveadditional oxygen cylinders located in the cargocompartment at the left wheel well bulkhead, andthe photographic (APCS) airplanes on the rightfront corner of the cargo floor.An OIL RESERVOIR is located in each enginenacelle. Another oil reservoir, located inside thecargo compartment on the left curbing, has linesleading down to the gas turbine compressor justbelow it in the landing gear fairing.HYDRALlLIC RESERVOIRS are located on theleft and right sides of the cargo compartment aboutmid-section. Lines go to hydraulic units through-out the fuselage and wings.The C-130B airplanes have an additional reservoiron the left side of the cargo compartment aft of theparatroop door.

The system is electrically actuated.

word of caution: Exposure to CB or DB vapors(or liquid) can cause personal injury.

GAS TURBINE COMPRESSOR EXHAUSTis an area to stay clear of when the GTC is oper-ating. Temperature of the exhaust gas may be1000 F or greater as it leaves the outlet.PROPE LLER BLAST from the airplane's enginescan sweep you off' your feet if the engines are athigh power. When the engines are idling, however,you may walk in the propeller wake area withouttoo much difficulty. Engine exhaust temperatureswill not cause difficulty either, since the tailpipeoutlet is above your head and the heat dissipatesrapidly.Don't forget, though, the C-130 has propjet en-gines. Treat these props with respect. Stay at leastfifteen feet in front of them whenever the enginesare operating.

T h e B TTERY COMP RTMENT is in thenose of the airplane on the left side. Most C-130'shave access doors which are opened by pushing inon the latches. Some earlier C-130's have t he accessdoors locked by fasteners -ope ned by a commonscrewdriver o r coin.

NORM L ENTRY to the airplane's flight deckand cargo compartment is made through the crewentrance door. T ur n the large handle just forwardof the door and the d oor will unlatch and comedown. Don't stand in fr ont of the door while youunlatch it, or you may get a bump on the head.A few C-130's may still have a flush type handle.

Push in on the end of this type handle until youcan get a grip on it, then turn it to release the doorlatch.)~c ce ss o the cargo compartment may also bemade through the paratroop doors on 'either sideof the fuselage abou t mid-section. R otate the han-dle to unlatch the door, then push the door in andlift it upward. T he cargo floor is about 3 feetfrom the ground when the airp lane is resting on itslanding gear. (Th e flush type handle described inthe paragraph above may also be found on theparatr oop doors of some airplanes.)a,There IS a so argo door on the left sideof the fuselage, and a ramp and door a t the aft endof the cargo compartment. These cannot be openedfrom outside the airplane re opened hydrauli-cally from controls inside and adjacent to eachdoor nd therefore can not be used for entrance.

EMERGENCY ENTRY (and exit) for the air-plane is made through the three hatches along thetop of the fuselage or through the side emergencyexit on the right, forward side of the airplane.Pull type emergency .release rings are flushmounted along side each hatch. Pull the releasering and push in on the door to gain entrance. Itwill take at least a 15-foot ladder to get on topof the fuselage.

CHOPPING LOC TIONS are painted on eachside of the fuselage above and forward of the p ara-troop doors. T he locations are marked both on theinside and outside of the fuselage.

ACCESS T O EACH ENGINE NACELLE is throughtwo small doors. One dooropens into the forward part ofthe engine where fuel, oil, andhydraulic lines, and electricalcables are located. firewall(about in line with the wingleading edge) separates thissection of the engine from

the aft section. The fuel is burned in this aftsection. second access door is in the nacelle fair-ing which covers this aft engine area.Th e doors can be pushed open with your extin-guisher nozzle.ACCESS T O THE GAS TURBINE COMPRESSOR is through the intake air inlet and theexhaust air outlet. .For complete access to the GTC area, it is neces-sary to loosen about three dozen slotted head fasten-

THREE OTHER TURBINE UNITS shouldbe mentioned. These units are air driven androtate at speeds of 25,000 rpm, or in some cases,two or three times this amount. An Air TurbineMotor (ATM) is installed on the side of the fuse-lage above and slightly aft of the GTC. This unitdrives an electrical generator. This equipment iscovered by an access panel, installed with slottedhead fasteners. A refrigeration unit is installed inthe right main landing gear fairing forward of thelanding gear. A removable panel covers this equipment. Another refrigeration unit is located under-neath the flight deck on the right side. Access tothis unit i made from inside the forward end ofthe cargo compartment. (See locator drawing o pposite.)

ND RADIO EQUIPMENT is installed in racksadjacent to the steps leading up to the flight deck.
