Does anybody know if and where I can find a pdf of
T.O. 1-1B-40 ?

RE: Tech. order

SUERTE41...

1-1B-40 does not appear to be a valid T.O. number. What is the title of the T.O. You are looking for?

Regards, Wil Taylor

RE: Tech. order

(OP)
Okay, sorry about that:

T.O.  1C-130A-1-1B-40
or
T.O.  1C-130A-01-1B-40

RE: Tech. order

Good luck..

That is a C-130 crew handbook... and is most-likely FOUO... and MAY be ITARs restricted, too.

Cool, thanks for the input.

RE: Tech. order

the TO 1-1B-40 is a general USAF technical order related to weight and balance of aircrafts. There you will find some general procedures and definitions.

In any case, you must refer to the  specific W&B manual of your aircraft for detailed information about how is computed the basic weight and where it is measured, there you should find what are the weight and CG limits you must  respect to ensure the stability and controllability of you’re A/C

The 1-1B-50 is the Weight and Balance T.O... >NOT< 1-1B-40. The 1-1B-50, and several other very useful General T.O.s, are available for public down-load from the following website...

RE: Tech. order

I checked it a few minutes ago in our technical library and I found that originally the TO 1-1b-40 "weight and Balance Data" were a handbook for crewmembers complementary to the TO 1-1b-50 "Weight and Balance", but now the 1-1b-40 is canceled and all the information were supersedes by the last version of the TO 1-1b-50.

Okay, thanks to all that replied.

Anybody know where I can get a copy of
USAF T.O. 1C-130A-1 ?

RE: Tech. order

(OP)
I'm trying to acquire the C.G. Limitations for the C-130A, that's it.

If anyone could help, that would be great.

RE: Tech. order

You might try ebay for the 1C-130A-1.  Also, you can try Essco www.esscoaircraft.com or Thomsons Aviation Library - 20020 El Mirage Airport Rd - El Mirage, CA 92301 - 760-388-4216 - Fax: 760-388-4236 - 800-243-2640 - aclibrary@aol.com.  I would also suggest trying to find a -5 manual.  That should be the specific weight & balance data for the C-130. Designation should be 1C-130A-5 - Basic Weight Checklist & Load Data.

Also, in trying to follow the link posted for the 1-1B-50, I found it was incorrect...The correct link is:

Good luck
