Airbus MCDU problem:

[rhodges 6]

When I import a FS9 "Flight Planner" originalted flight plan, or originate one from scratch in the MCDU either to, or from KIAD I get an error message in the MCDU: "UNABLE CRZ FL". This occurs when I enter the zero fuel weight and/or fuel load in the second page of the "INIT" page.This occurs on all of the airbuses.There may be other locations that do the same thing, but I have not noticed them yet. This is a SimFlyer airport on my system, but I have several others which do not result in this message.What does this term mean ("UNABLE CRZ FL") mean and is there anything I can do about it?While I am showing my ignorance, is there a loadedit utility for the A340?Also, is there a way to import flightplans from either FS9 or FSNAV into the Dash8 FMS?Thanks:RTH

you will get UNABLE CRZ FLif your entered altitude is set too highthe calculated TOC (top of climb) point cannot be reached before the calculated TOD (top of descent) pointtry entering a lower altitudeJohn PSS SUPPORTsupport@phoenix-simulation.co.ukhttp://www.avsim.com/pss/phoenix.jpg
