Corrosion on rear wing spar
During inspections corrosion was found at the rear spar on the left and right wing where the ailerons meet the wing with the fabric between the ailerons and the wings.
Some corrosion was so advanced that the wings needed to be replaced.
During your next inspection , check for corrosion.

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.

Fuel filter
This is the 4th FOUGA that I checked and the bypass on the fuel filter or pop out was extended.
The bypass on the fuel filter need to be checked before each flight.
If the fuel filter is clogged, the pop out will extend and you could have down to the line the engines fuel filters who will clog ....
No need to explain you what could happen...
So for the safety check that bypass.
