Press the illuminated EXEC button to execute the DES
FORECASTS entries.
From this point, you’d move on to the fuel planning section and use the
new fuel burn values on the PROG and ALTERNATE DESTS pages to
do your fuel planning.
Takeoff wind:
The one other wind related entry is at LSK 1L of the TAKEOFF REF page
2, the RW WIND field. This is simply the wind as it is expected to be at
the exact time of takeoff.
For this you would want to check the “Show Surface Wind Information for
Dep, Dest and Alt (vs. Aloft)” box on the AS page, which will cause it to
show the surface wind at EHAM. We’d unchecked it earlier to get the
accurate winds aloft average.
In my case this is 200/8, so I’d enter that into LSK 1L and that’s it.
Happy windy flying!
