Weight & Balance

Post by Aviator7659 » Wed Oct 16, 2024 12:25 pm

Hi all just wondering if I could get some assistance
After entering my desired load and fuel figures into the EFB, I continue to set up the MCDU and when tabbing to page 2 of the INIT page, I click on fhe ZFWCG key on the top right and in doing so, resets the fuel back to approx 50,000kg rather than the amount I set already in EFB, why is it doing this? Is this a bug or am I setting it up incorrectly?

Hello Aviator7659.

Are you still experiencing this issue?

If so, can you give me some details about your flightplan? I'll set up the flight on my end to see what's going on.

So I tried this on my end. I did what you said by entering my fuel into the EFB. For example, I entered CENTER 21782, INNER 120000, OUTER 11568, TRIM 5000, ACTUAL 176366. I then looked at the MCDU INIT PAGE 2, and the ZFW/ZFWCG shows 153.0/23.1. When I click the LSK 1R (Line Select Key 1 Right) the 153.0/23.1 shows in the Scratchpad. Clicking LSK 1R again only reenters the same information. It did not affect the amount shown in the EFB.
