[Falcon 4 BMS] Mirage 2000-5 : Fuel management

Following the previous articles and discussions on the check-six forum I have fulfilled my check-list and procedure document.
I added some references and two performance charts by Topolo.

Here is the result :

I updated the document in a 1.1 version both in english and in french. They can be found as usual in the DOCUMENTATION page.

So the next step is to check all this with a navigation flight...
