WEIGHT INIT Page

Accessed from F-PLN INIT with the PAGE key, this page allows the pilot to

initialize weight and fuel parameters. Access to the FUEL INIT page is gained

with the PAGE key. This page provides advisory warnings when entries exceed

limits.

The fields in 1R, 2R, 5R, and 6R (BLOCK, TOGW, TOCG, and ZFWCG) appear

as boxes (mandatory entry). The BLOCK field allows trial entries for fuel

planning purposes.

NOTE: Before engine start, none of the calculations of weight data (ZFW

= TOGW + TAXI - BLOCK) account for ballast fuel. Therefore,

pilot entries of weight data must already account for ballast fuel.

Upon edit of ballast fuel, the pilot is responsible for correcting the

weight data.

BLOCK, TOGW, or ZFW will be calculated based on which two of these three

parameters are entered by the pilot. The calculated value shall be displayed in

small font and pilot entered values are displayed in large font. If the pilot entry

made for BLOCK, TOGW or ZFW is cleared, then both the cleared value and the

computed value (small font) shall revert to boxes. The amount of ballast fuel

included in the ZFW is taken from the FUEL INIT page and displayed to the left

of the ZFW. Before engine start, the TOGW and TOCG on this page are

equivalent to the TOGW, and TOCG on the TAKEOFF page. Changing the value

on the WEIGHT INIT page will alter the value on the TAKEOFF page as well.

The UFOB item in 1R is the actual usable fuel on board not including ballast fuel,

if any.

The Landing Weight (LW) is computed after the EFOB at destination prediction

is made and the ZFW is computed.

NOTE: When calculated value is not available, dashes are shown.
