Intro

0:00

THE 53-YEAR-OLD AIRCRAFT IS ABOUT 309TH AEROSPACE MAINTENANCE AND REGENERATION GROUP (AMARG)

0:21

THE 309TH AMARG, OFTEN CALLED THE BONEYARD, IS A UNITED STATES AIR FORCE AIRCRAFT AND MISSILE STORAGE AND

0:31

THE 309TH AMARG TAKES CARE OF NEARLY 4,000 AIRCRAFT, PRESERVATION FACILITY IN THE WORLD

0:43

THE AIRCRAFT, A LOCKHEED C-130H HERCULES WITH TAIL NUMBER 65-0968, WAS CONVERTED TO A WC-130H FOR WEATHER RECONNAISSANCE OPERATIONS

0:53

65-0968 IS ASSIGNED TO THE U.S. AIR NATIONAL GUARD AND IS BEING OPERATED BY THE 156TH AIRLIFT WING OF THE PUERTO RICO AIR NATIONAL GUARD

1:02

IT UNDERWENT PRESCHEDULED FUEL CELL MAINTENANCE AND UNSCHEDULED WORK ON ENGINE NO. 1 BY THE 156TH MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL USING THE FACILITIES OF THE 165TH AIRLIFT WING

1:19

THERE ARE NINE AIRMEN ON BOARD THE AIRPLANE (FIVE CREWMEN AND FOUR PASSENGERS)

1:31

THE CREW ACCOMPLISHES ALL CHECKLISTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FLIGHT MANUAL

2:00

THE DATA BRIEFED TYPICALLY INCLUDES THE TAKEOFF AND LANDING DATA, COORDINATED ACTIONS DURING EMERGENCIES, AND DEPARTURE PROCEDURES

2:24

A CREW CAN CONDUCT THE BRIEFING BEFORE INITIATING THE BEFORE TAKEOFF CHECKLIST

2:32

THE CREW TAXIES THE AIRCRAFT UNEVENTFULLY TO RUNWAY 10 FOR AN IFR DEPARTURE

2:50

MAJOR JOSE ROMAN ROSADO, WHO IS SITTING IN THE LEFT SEAT PILOT POSITION, IS THE PRIMARY PILOT OF THE AIRCRAFT

2:59

THE LEFT SEAT PILOT IS TYPICALLY THE SENIOR PILOT AND THE AIRCRAFT COMMANDER

3:10

UPON RECEIVING A TAKEOFF CLEARANCE FROM AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL, THE CREW BEGINS TO PERFORM A ROLLING TAKEOFF, AS BRIEFED, RATHER THAN A STATIC TAKEOFF

3:21

A ROLLING TAKEOFF IS ONE IN WHICH THE AIRCRAFT DOESN'T STOP ON THE RUNWAY WHEN IT ENTERS FROM THE TAXIWAY

3:30

IN A ROLLING TAKEOFF, THE PILOT STARTS THE TAKEOFF BY OPENING THE THROTTLE EITHER DURING THE TURN ON THE RUNWAY OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER ROLLING OUT

3:39

AN ADVANTAGE OF THE STATIC TAKEOFF IS IT ALLOWS THE CREW BEGINNING THE TAKEOFF SEQUENCE

4:11

IN CONTRAST, A ROLLING TAKEOFF REQUIRES THE AIRCREW TO TO ASSESS ENGINE PERFORMANCE PRIOR TO FLIGHT

4:23

PERFORM A STATIC TAKEOFF ON THE FIRST FLIGHT OF THE DAY

4:47

NONETHELESS, EVEN IF THIS IS THE AIRPLANE'S FIRST FLIGHT OF THE DAY AND FIRST THE CREW PROCEEDS WITH A ROLLING TAKEOFF

4:53

AS THE C-130 ROLLS ONTO THE RUNWAY, THE CREW COMPLETES THE LINEUP CHECKLIST

5:11

DURING THE TAKEOFF ROLL, THE ENGINE NO. 1 SPEED FLUCTUATES BETWEEN 94% AND 98% REVOLUTIONS PER MINUTE (RPM) AND DOES NOT PROVIDE NORMAL FLIGHT RPM

5:37

EIGHT SECONDS PRIOR TO THE AIRCRAFT ROTATION, THE ENGINE NO. 1 RPM AND TORQUE SIGNIFICANTLY DECAY

6:25

THIS LOSS OF ENGINE POWER IS UNRECOGNIZED BY THE CREW, IN PARTICULAR THE FLIGHT ENGINEER, WHOSE PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY DURING TAKEOFF IS TO MONITOR ENGINE PERFORMANCE

6:42

BEFORE ROTATION, THE COMMANDER APPLIES A RIGHT RUDDER INPUT TO KEEP THE AIRCRAFT ON THE RUNWAY'S CENTERLINE, INDICATING THE C-130 IS PULLING TO THE LEFT

6:51

AS SOON AS THE NOSE WHEEL LIFTS FROM THE GROUND, THE AIRPLANE VEERS TO THE LEFT AND NEARLY DEPARTS THE RUNWAY INTO THE GRASS

7:15

AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL NOTES THE UNUSUAL BANKING OF THE AIRCRAFT AND CONTACTS THE CREW

7:42

AS THE PILOTS RETRACT THE LANDING GEAR, THEY IDENTIFY THE ENGINE NO. 1 RPM AND TORQUE MALFUNCTION, AND THE CAPTAIN CALLS FOR ENGINE SHUTDOWN

8:04

AT 600 FEET, THE CREW SUCCESSFULLY SHUT DOWN ENGINE NO.1 AND FEATHERS (THE PROCESS OF ROTATING THE PROPELLER BLADES TO REDUCE DRAG) THE PROPELLER

8:35

HOWEVER, THE CREW FAILS TO FOLLOW THE ENGINE SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE AS STATED IN THE FLIGHT MANUAL

8:49

REQUIRED THE PILOT ON THE RIGHT SEAT TO STATE THE FLAP SETTING AFTER MOVING THE CONDITION LEVER TO FEATHER

8:57

AFTER ENGINE FAILURE PROCEDURE BY COMMENCING FLAP RETRACTION AFTER RAISING THE LANDING GEAR

9:07

ADDITIONALLY, THE PILOTS DO NOT FOLLOW THE STANDARD AFTER TAKEOFF CHECKLIST

9:20

THE COMMANDER CONTINUES TO CLIMB AND TURN LEFT TOWARD ENGINE ONE, THOUGH THE FLIGHT MANUAL STATES THAT A CREW SHOULD AVOID BANKED TURNS INTO AN INOPERATIVE ENGINE

9:56

AS THE COMMANDER CONTINUES TO CLIMB AND TURN LEFT, THE CREW NEVER RETRACTS THE AIRPLANE'S FLAPS

10:10

AS THE AIRCRAFT BANKS UP TO 19 LEFT, THE COMMANDER INPUT OVER 9° OF LEFT RUDDER IN THE DIRECTION OF THE INOPERATIVE ENGINE, CONTRARY TO THE DIRECTIVES OF THE FLIGHT MANUAL
