FMC problem

[Guest 737767]

Since a couple of days I cannot longer enter a temperature for derated take-off power. I enter a number, but the LSK2L just blanks again and on the upper EICAS the letters DER-Take off won

What is the temperature that you are trying to enter?If it's single digit i.e. 5C, you must enter it as two digits i.e 05otherwise it will not be accepted by the FMC.Regards,George DorkofikisAthens, Greece

I have the same problem with either 5,05, 20, or any number until 64. It will accept 64Thanks,BrianP39

Are you entering a temperature higher than the current outside temperature? If the temperature you're attempting to enter in the Thrust data block of the Takeoff page is not greater than the current outside temperature it will not be accepted.

[Guest 737767]

Sorry, I did not mentioned that - I always enter a temperatur higher that OAT. Otherwise it won

[Guest 737767]

Wade, can you step in here?

32* c is the maximum tempterature at which the engines can provide maxium takeoff thrust.Maximum Reduction:25% of maximum Takeoff thrust ORPreselected Climb Thrust,You cannot select an assumed tempterature more than 53* c.Best Wishes,Randy J.
