Dear C130 CS community:

Can, sombody tell me if there is a avionics master switch in the C130? I could turn everything on but not the radar (TCAS). What I have to do to turn it on?

In advanced, thank you to ya'll for your time spending reading this and of course, your helping hand.

Nope, there is no "avionic master" switch here. You basically need the engines running and the generators online before turning on the TCAS. Smiley

Had that problem a couple of times.  Went back to the cessna, turned on the avionics switch and problem solved.  You could assign a key to the avionics switch and see if that solves the problem in the future. Undecided
