hi bryancan you tell me at what stage does the actual programming of the FMC for the route etc get done? is it after the ac has APU? i suppose the information obtained from this is required to work out the cruise altitude, v1 / v2 / vr etc. ?rgds

Hello Clayton,I think this may have been answered before.Please try search the forum and you'll probably find some discussion on this.Generally, there is no real set time that you must start programming the FMC. Just do it whenever it's convenient. Technically I supose you should wait until the Loadsheet comes before entering the weights, but it really doesn't make much difference if you don't wait.Cheers,Bryan
