Reminder of Hydraulic Servicing for the Fouga

After talking with Fouga owners about the servicing of the Hydraulic,
I want to review the procedures:



- First : Start the left engine to have 250 HPZ on the normal and emergency hydraulic systems
            Operate flaps, speed brakes, ailerons boost if you have some.  
            Reconfigure aircraft in a clean mode ( flaps retracted, speed brakes in)


- Shut down the engine and open the small cap on the left, on the main hydraulic reservoir
   ( the big cap in the center is the access to replace the main hydraulic filter)
- Service the hydraulic up to the top of the center spigot that you will see when you open the small cap.
- If you over serviced, open the little valve with the castle wheel on it (lower right hand corner), it will drain   under the aircraft to the normal level. Do not forget to close the valve after. 
- Close the small cap, and this is done.

Never try to check the hydraulic level with no pressure inside the hydraulic systems because when you will open the overflow valve or the small cap, hydraulic will come out of the hydraulic reservoir
