What's the self test for the ADL-81??

That system as been removed for awhile Gus, I don't remember the self test.
However I did sit through a month "C" school on that system right after "A" school back in May of 88.
AT1 Jim Schinn was the instructor.

If you cannot turn off the power
• do not touch the victim, and
• use one of the methods in the table below to remove the victim from the wire or circuit.
To …
Use …
pry the victim from the wire or circuit
an insulated pole or stick of non-metallic, non-conductive material free of dirt, grease, paint, and varnish.
pull the victim from the wire or circuit
a piece of dry rope, belt, or clothing looped over the victim’s arm or leg.

This was on the AETC SWE this year. Glad I read this thread!

The "dry rope ..." was the answer I believe.

Another person rewarded for participating in healthy Coast Guard past times. Hey, you never know. It could save someones life someday.

What portion of a fiber optics line is signal loss mostly attributed to when the core has an imperfection? From earlier post.

The answer is The "Cladding" around the core.

P-type dopants are from what column of the Periodic Table? (aluminum, gallium, indium)

P-type dopants are from column III of the Periodic Table (aluminum, gallium, indium) and N-type dopants are from column V (phosphorus, arsenic).

One for the old timers.....

What is "Dial-a-Fuel" and it's cause?

Wild stab...

either a gas pump at a Sunoco Station or the fuel control on a H-52?

When water would get in the fuel quantity dadge connectors in the dry bays of H3s you could rotate one of the cockpit lighting reostats and watch your fuel quantity raise or lower by about 200 lbs.
Hence "Dial-a-Fuel".

I've had a few coworkers that I wished knew this little piece of information. Maybe it's just when I'm doing the electric boogaloo, but the preferred response seems to be "laugh as the electrician pisses himself and make 'BZZZZT!!!!' sounds behind him continuously for the next week".

I was once repairing the strobe light on the tail of an HH-65B. I was conveying to the thirds that were shadowing me to be careful not to shock themselves on the power wire for it is connected to a capacitor and holds a charge. As soon as I was done terminating the ground wire with a terminal I went and recruited a QA inspector. During this inspection we were all on the ground watching as he proceeded to grab the conductive part of the power wire and the checkstand, recieving a shock. We all laughed and called our glorious leader sparky for the next week. LOL Fun times on the hanger deck. Sorry was this the wrong thread?

Next question:

How long do you wait for the strobe to cool before maintenance?

However, there have been some odd number assignments since then; the subject of some interesting websites.

Interesting too, how the VC-143A and HC-144A were assigned to CG aircraft from the end of the old number series.

We all know about the C-130 and C-141 airlifters, but what was a C-142?

Your right. But in an AFTO the term HC-130 refers to an AF missionized SAR configuration. This doesn't apply to our airplanes since we have AF slicks that we have configured differently. Use C-130H when looking up our planes.
