● Maximum usable fuel weights are those listed in the Fuel Weight Limits for Taxi and Takeoff table.
● Tanks 1 and 4 always contain 500 to 1,000 lb more fuel per tank than tanks 2 and 3 except when total usable fuel is less than 6,000 lb.
● The main tanks are full, except for fuel used for taxi, takeoff and climb; but not less than 7,560 lb in tanks 1 and 4 and not less than 6,812 lb in tanks 2 and 3, when the external and/or auxiliary tanks contain usable fuel.
● Fuel unbalance is within the limits specified by the AIRSPEED LIMITATIONS and FUEL UNBALANCE LIMITS in this section.
Secondary Fuel Management
Any fuel management that fails to meet the requirements for primary fuel management is defined as secondary fuel management.

Realignment is required. Refer to CNI-MS Operator Manual 1C-130J-1-4
(2-A-29)
LSGI switch lights do not illuminate
Reset the associated FADEC and reselect LOW
(2-A-44)
On the ground, fuel has been sprayed into the engine with no ignition
Motor the engine for at least 30 seconds. On subsequent start, it is acceptable to have flames out the tailpipe for a few seconds due to residual fuel.
(2-A-46)
Engine anti-ice switch (Before Taxi)
Engine anti-ice should be on is OAT is less then or equal to 10C with visible moisture.
If engine anti-ice is selected to on, set CNI-MU told page to ALL BLEED.
(2-A-50)
Engine anti-ice is required and pressure altitude is greater than 3,000ft (Before taxi checklist)
Consider operating with engine anti-ice on for a minimum of 3 minutes to stabilize engine temperatures before applying takeoff power
Consider reducing the bleed air requirement during takeoff by selecting the AIR COND CARGO COMPT POWER switch to OFF and UNDERFLOOR switch to FAN
(2-A-51)
UNDERFLOOR switch - HEAT/FAN (Before Taxi Checks)
If the differential pressure increases above 0.4 inHg and UNDERFLOOR switch is set to HEAT/FAN, set the switch to FAN.
(2-A-52)
Prop Control Cycle (before Taxi checks)
Required when the starting oil temperature is <0C Oil temperature must be > 45C before propeller controls are cycled.
Power Levers - LSGI, GND IDLE
Prop Control Switch - Feather to Normal (three times)
(2-A-54)
Brake use while taxiing
Excessive or prolonged use of the brakes, especially at heavy weight, can result in overheating of the wheel and brake assemblies with possible brake failure and/or brake fire. For most taxi operations, thrust changes, instead of brakes, should be used to control taxi speed.
(2-A-56)
Fusible Plug
Device designed to melt at 390 C to deflate the tire.
Fusible plug release is likely after the second consecutive full antiskid braking operation above 130,000lb. Fusible plug release is unlikely to occur with a single aborted takeoff at gross weights up to 175,000lb
(2-A-57)
If nose landing gear becomes obstructed while taxing
Thrust levels with brakes released shall be limited to no more than 2,585 HP per motor. If the airplane does not move, the gear obstruction shall be cleared before further attempts to move the airplane.
(5-27)
Taxing when gross weights exceed 155,000lb
Regardless of runway terrain conditions, nose wheel limit is 20 degrees left or right of center mark.
(5-27)
Taxi and takeoff are permissible only on surfaces where qualities of smoothness and freedom from dips, depressions, and holes are comparable to those of a major airfield
Maximum taxi speed of 10 kts
Taxi shortest distance possible
Use minimum braking while turning
Limit nose gear steering angle to 20 degrees
Avoid abrupt or hard uneven application of brakes
(5-28)
Two engine taxi
When taxing with two symmetrical engines shut down or in hotel mode, the remaining engines must be in LSGI or normal ground idle. If the remaining two engines are in LSGI, the AUX pump switch shall be on and EMER BRAKE SEL switch set to EMER to ensure adequate brake pressure.
(2-A-58)
Taxing in high winds
30kt, 90 degree crosswinds = nose wheel steering and rudder control
Taxing in winds up to 60kts = requires all four engines and coordinated use of nose wheel steering, rudder, differential braking, and differential power. Use of aileron and elevator may also be required to keep the airplane level.
Turns should be performed at slow speed
(2-A-59)
WING/EMP (before takeoff checklist)
Anti-ice/de-ice: The ACAWS message appears and remains on for 90 seconds during the test. At the end of the test a HEAT FAIL message will occur for any zones not heated and a VERT TAIL BOOST FAIL, if the vert tail boot failed to operate.
If OAT is above 21C (70F) wait 10 minutes before repeating test to prevent overheating the vertical tail.
The test requires four engines in normal ground idle
(2-A-62)
MC TOLD above 8,000ft field elevation
For altitudes higher than 8,000ft field elevation, MC TOLD data for obstacle clearance or terrain clearance are invalid and should not be used.
(2-A-65)
Positive rate of climb
An increasing barometric altimeter and a positive vertical velocity can be used to verify a positive rate of climb
The radar altimeter passing 15ft can also be used to verify a positive rate of climb.
(2-A-73)
Carbon Brakes - brake creep
With brakes full applied and engines at maximum power, forward movement at 4 fps (2.4kts) or less is acceptable. If indicated ground speed is 3kt or greater, abort the takeoff.
One reattempt may be accomplished. The increased heat from the aborted takeoff should increase static braking effectiveness for the subsequent takeoff attempt.
When verification of required static brake performance is desired before takeoff, all engines should be set to reduced power at 3,300HP while hold the brakes at maximum pedal deflection. If the aircraft moves forward at reduced power setting, maintenance action is required prior to flight.
Brake creep may be accounted for by reducing the runway available by 40ft
(2-A-66)
Below 15,500 feet with the other engines running normally, when the FADEC detects autofeather criteria for an inboard engine it will:
Autofeather after a two-second delay if all other engines are operating normally
Above 15,500 feet, if the FADEC detects autofeather criteria it will:
Autofeather an outboard propeller without delay
Windmill an inboard propeller at 100% RPM
