Bad brake pads
I came across some pads that was made in the US for the fouga around 20 years ago,
They are yellow color
After 10 landings, the brakes was shot .
If you have theses brake pads, the only place to put them is in the garbage
Use the right brake pads and it will save you troubles

Fouga range
Hello,
Sure when you look the charts, you can plan a very long legs trip.
Realisticaly, you have to take care of the wind in altitude, time to climb, .....
Easy way is to plan legs no more than 250NM with center tank full and wing tip tanks full maxi 300NM but check everything!
Just flew with one of my fouga who have fuel flow indicator;
On a marbore II at 5000ft both engines 20,000rpm, fuel flow 80USG/hour at a speed of 215kts indicated
with one engine shut down, still 5000ft left engine still at 20,000rpm indicated speed 170kts
So with both engines with both engines 160usg/hr at 5000ft and 215nm covered
With one engine you will have cover 340nm at 5000ft with 160usg.
Think about it before running out of jetA.

Fouga left for a couple of years
After having been forgotten for more than 10 years, this fouga was back in the air from Texas to Southern California
Fouga brakes
When the brake pistons are extended be sure that you have some brake pads left before that the all brake Assyrian need to be redone instead of just replacing the pads
