punkalouver,

I don't have a split screen, so I'll have to print one and compare with the other. Will take a moment, because I'm in the course of switching to another computer, this one being too old and slow.

For the brief translations, see below.

1. Cours essais et points fixes moteurs A 330 - A 340 réalisé en 1998

Course on A330 - A340 engine tests and ground runs written in 1998.

2. 64 psi est la résolution d’enregistrement des paramètres de pression
de freinage.

The brake pressure parameters are recorded with a resolution of 64 psi.

3. La résolution du paramètre GROUND SPEED (vitesse sol) est de 1 kt.

The 'Ground Speed' parameter is recorded with a resolution of 1 kt.

('Resolution' refers to the smallest step/change discernible in the recording.)

4. Cette surveillance est aujourd’hui de la responsabilité de l’Agence Européenne de la Sécurité Aérienne, le GSAC continuant à intervenir
sous contrat de l’AESA en tant que sous-traitant de la DGAC.

This oversight is today the responsability of the European Aviation Safety Agency. Under the terms of an EASA contract, the GSAC will continue to intervene as subcontractor for the DGAC.

5. la plupart des calculateurs de vol, située sous le poste
de pilotage, a été totalement détruite.

Most of the flight control computers, located under the cockpit, have been totally destroyed.

6.Les pneumatiques du train avant sont entaillés et présentent des marques de frottement perpendiculaires à la bande de roulement.

The tyres of the nose landing gear have cuts in them, and show marks of rubbing at right angles to the tyre tread.

Hope this is of use.
