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.
