May 9, 2016 TUKWILA, WA. PPI Technical Services has finalized a contract to train Royal Thai Air Force & DAE maintenance personnel on proper repair and hydraulic testing procedures of the valve housing system utilized on the 54H60 propeller propulsion systems of the country’s fleet of C-130 Hercules military aircraft.
The Lockheed C-130 aircraft utilizes the Hamilton Standard 54H60 propeller system.
The Thailand Air Force recently acquired a valve housing hydraulic test rig; a large and complex test bench to simulate inflight conditions to the aircrafts’ constant speed propeller governing system. The valve housing unit is an especially important component to the 54H60 system as it regulates the hydraulic pressure necessary to keep the propeller system at its constant speed for various phases of flight operations.
Proper operation of the valve housing test rig and repair knowledge of the intricate mechanical system of the valve housing unit is essential to keep propeller systems safe and operational.
PPI Technical Services personnel will begin training the Thai maintenance technicians in-house training facility for two months in Kent, Washington; followed by a week in country on the Thai’s rig.
