These days, with all the information presented inside the cockpit and considering how little a fighter pilot has to actually look outside the cockpit anyway, I’m not so sure an occasional fogged up canopy is that big of a deal.
I could see, however, where the humidity could present a potential problem as far as some of the pilots' eyeliner.

Sounds like most of the people here are on the right track looking at the sock or moisture trapped in the system. If it was one jet I would suspect a component but as the poster said the entire fleet then we are more likely to be looking at a local environmental issue.
Take a good look at the hard plumbing for low/trap points if you have access to engine drying equipment you could consider using that to try to dry out the low points.
On other aircraft, dirty socks can leave enough crud behind that you will go through a couple of new ones to capture all of the crud and make the system start behaving again. A good stock of high humidy socks might be the way to start going.
A key question to consider is have the aircraft always done this or is it something that has come with time? If the system worked when the aircraft were new then its probably a mix of maintenance/operational use/environmental. |
