Anything to do with information technology/computer science is well sought after.

[Refractive Surgery Survey]

Thanks for responding to the survey. I'll be able to take responses until 26 Nov, if you know someone with PRK or LASIK please pass the link around.

Thanks,

[Refractive Surgery Survey]

All,

I am completing my Masters paper at ERAU by conducting a study of PRK and LASIK on pilots. If you have received refractive surgery and are flying, I would appreciate your time completing the survey at the following link: Refractive Surgery Survey

If the link will not work the survey is located at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SN8WDZM

The survey can be completed in just a few minutes and is totally anonymous.

Toro has approved adding the survey link to this forum.

Thank you for your time,

J.

[C130J (Herc) info]

It's all "fly by wire," big, thick wire stretched between pulleys and bellcranks with hydraulic booster packs. Power levers are "fly by wire," little wire, conducting electricity or what I call, "magic."

Thanks,

[C130J (Herc) info]

I am working on my masters and looking for info about the flight controls on a C-130J. Do they have cables and pulleys like the old models or are they fly by wire. I know the engines have a FADEC system, but I can't find anything that talks about the flight controls. Any help or links would be great. The Lockheed site is quite vague.

Thanks
