Fouga in the Champ Elysees

I was called for help to install a Fouga in the Champ Elysees Paris France at the Marcel Dassault Hotel.

New regulation 8130-2G

The new regulation 8130-2G will put military jets aircraft under group 4 , 5 , 6 , 7.
I have my Broussard MH1521 under Group 2 so no more 300NM radius limitation.
To be in Group 4 or 5 you need to comply strictly with the manufacturer maintenance program and you will not have limitation about the proficency area if the aircraft was never equiped with ejection seats...
Some airplanes like L29, L39 does have an ejection seat :
You do not maintain the aircraft with hot seat, you will be under Group 6 with the famous 600NM radius.
But if you maintain the aircraft strictly with the manufacturer maintenance program who call to have ejection seat, your aircraft will be under Group 7 with the famous 600NM radius.
The new 8130-2G target aircraft with ejection seats...
Take a look under that new 8130-2G.

Pencil whip overhaul on Turbomeca Marbore

I saw with some aircraft owners that some Turbomeca Marbore II and VI had a Major overhaul done on the engine by some unscrupulous person entring in the engine log "inner and outer basket inspected and returned to service IAW maintenance manual limits for serviceable "
Turbomeca never , I said never authorised a Marbore II or VI to have a major overhaul without replacing the combustion chambers ( inner and outer ).
So be careful, instead of having an engine with fake 300hrs TTSMOH total time since major overhaul, you have an engine with real 2100 TTSMOH hours since real major overhaul so 300 hours past the TBO due time.
Be aware of theses pencil whipping overhauls.

Casa HA200 engine damage

After a call from a owner of a CASA HA200 who had vibrations on his right engine, I went to look after the problem.

The turbine blades was damaged beyond repair, a cooper seal was replaced by a so called garlock seal between tail pipe and engine ( only on Casa Jets ) who was manufactured without testing it, was coming apart and letting hot exhaust gas out in the engine compartment who could create an engine fire with all the oil and fuel lines in the area, it was a good call from the owner because it coud end up to a worst end.

Conclusion: engine need to be replaced.

More investigation will be done to find the reason why the turbine blades was damaged.

Hot Engines

After talking with some Fouga owners, a couple of engines disappearance started a couple of years ago from Texas .
At least for now 2 Turbomeca Marbore VI F2 and 2 Turbomeca Marbore II F3 for Finish Fouga went AWOL.
Some other parts like brakes assy, ignitor boxes, ......
Thoses parts have serial numbers!.
The previous owners will let me kow thoses serial numbers.
When they will be published, look your logs, because you can be in possession of a stolen property, contact the owners before facing criminal charges.
One engine is a Marbore VI F2 S/N 10060.
If you have any information let me know that I can contact the owner.

Single jet aircraft versus Twin jet aircraft

This is imaginery but it can become real.
Two crews flying in a single and twin jet aircraft.
They have an engine problem and it is how they could react:

- We have a airport 20 miles away..
- Will not gonna make it!
- XXXX control Mayday....
- Procedure: Eject !
- Sorry but it was too expensive to have thoses seats hot ...
- Brace for impact.

On twin jet aircraft:

- I have a red engine oil light on the right engine and no pressure on the indicator.
- Just shut down the engine..
- Let's do the procedure with one engine out.
- Do we call the control?
- No it is not necesary, we can fly and control the aircraft.
- We have a airport at 74 miles with a long runway.
- You have control of the aircraft, let's go for it, and I will check the approaches.
- How is your son's doing at school?
