Title: C 130 Landing Tutorial
Post by ottoramsaig on Jun 6^th, 2011 at 1:42pm

Got to admit that I am becoming quite good at landing the B 727 on ILS Approches but really want to get into the C130 landing procedures. After flying the B 727 and switching to the C 130 I have noticed that the C 130 seems easier to land using VFR. I need an understanding on how the military approch channels and the C130 ILS approaches are done correctly. Written or video would be most appriciated............thanks.

Normal landing :

at 25nm from destination airport
during descend (vvi 500-800ft/min) �ias 220kts => set flaps 10%
continue approaching

on final 12-15 nm @ias 180kts ==> set flaps 50%
wait until ias 165kts ==> gear down (locked and checked) Air cond - no press
(cabin altitude must set on descend passing 10,000ft
value = destination airport elevation)

Follow PAPI lights
control ias 140kts until 800ft set flaps 100%
*at flaps 100% ias =120kts

100ft flare (touchdown speed 95-100kts)

ils no need..

::) ::)

**don't forget to calculate landing fuel weight
(RTAF c-130H landing fuel 13,000-15,000lbs)

I understand you may not need ILS but I want to know how for severe weather. We have C 130 Pilots here that use it with ATC.

Did anyone had "not enough rudder issues" ?
Landing at strong cross wind the rudder is not effective... :-?
