December 2, 200916 yr Hi Everyone,Have now tried everything suggested by all of the Forum replies even to waiting for 30 mins for IRS alignment but if anything, things seemed worse. I notice in the Tutorial Flight booklet it mentions that there might be several messages displayed when first opening the FMU and in which case to just press CLR.What I have now tried is after landing at my outward destination airport I make sure EVERYTHING is as it was before I started the flight. I then went through the normal proceedure as I would for the outward flight starting with Load Manager. I then pressed CLR on opening the FMU which erased the INITIALISE ZFWCG message and entered all the relevant info. for the return journey. Everything went fine and I completed the flight in Autopilot as normal. I am happy with this result and providing the same thing happens for other destinations I think I will leave it at that.I thank all you guys for your help which has made me look at various other aspects of the MD-11. I will leave this Forum question open for a few days in case anyone wants to add anything and then I will close it.Once again many thanks to everyone for their inputs.Kind regardsJohn
