Title: C-130 Payload /Range charts (per type)
Post by HB-HFK on May 2nd, 2013 at 1:20pm
Hello everyone,

I'm looking for the above information. I can't seem to locate it in the manuals available at CS. Have I overlooked the obvious?

I tested the C-130E with full tanks (external tanks included), namely +/- 65'000 lbs and 26'455 lbs payload, close to MTOW but not quite there.

Cruise level was FL260 westbound over the Atlantic. Cruise fuel consumption all-in-all about 8000 lbs/hour.

I left the plane on autopilot and went off to attend to other duties. I came back a little too late and found my plane in the drink, roughly 2'500 nm from my point of origin.

It seems pretty consistent with information I found on internet but I was curious to check it against actual range charts, if available.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

regards,

Kevin  :)
