KyleD 1027 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Hi, are you entering your ZFW as "/XXX" ? The sideslash is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrijan 193 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Do you think it is realistic that inputs in the MCDU reflect the aircraft in reality? Fuelplanner was intended to be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizzy 20 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 Hi, are you entering your ZFW as "/XXX" ? The sideslash is needed. In many video we can see that simply enter the fuel and on the top line with a single click it's automatic but me i don't have this... i would like to understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now there is a set ZFW and not auto-calculated, because the auto-calculation before was always incorrect. So, all you need to do now is input your actual ZFW as well as your block fuel.

Adrijan 193 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Excuse me for misunderstanding in my last post. Well, in previous versions ZFW was automatically calculated but in latest few versions it's not (because the calculation was always incorrect). EDIT: dmbusmc was faster, once again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZFW and FOB are not related. ZFW is Zero Fuel Weight, in other words the weight of the plane plus cargo and passengers. FOB is fuel on board. You need to use the Airbus X Extended Fuel Planner to load your fuel. The Fuel Planner will then show you your Block Fuel to enter, as well as your ZFW to enter.
