Airbus 320 or a Fouga avionics upgrade ?



The fouga serial numer 555 have received some avionics upgrade by http://www.aviationclassics.com/
On the fouga you are able to have so many information's that with the fuel on board ( fuel flow computer installed lower right corner ) you will not have time to check them all .
Weather update performed with Garmin 530 wasp ( upper center panel )
Now if you want to relax after having performed some aerobatic maneuvers safely ( tcas installed right side lower console ) , you can select on your screen your airport and the aircraft will go back to the pad by itself ( auto pilot upper right hand )to receive maintenance attention.
