WEIGHT AND FUEL PLANNING

All the input of data needed for calculation and viewing of weight and fuel planning values is done on the
AUX - WEIGHT AND FUEL PLANNING Page. This page is displayed once power is applied to the system
and after acknowledging the MFD start-up screen, and it can be accessed any time from the AUX page group
(WEIGHT PLANNING).
NOTE: Estimated landing weight and fuel can only be calculated when a destination airport is entered and
airspeed is 30 knots or faster. Otherwise, Estimated Landing Weight, Estimated Landing Fuel, and Excess
Fuel cannot be calculated by the system and dashes for those fields are displayed.
