December 28, 200916 yr I did all planning for a long flight, considering JS41, and I was surprised that FMC showed me in the middle of flight I was 1h short. DTG was 465 and GS 306, then I still had 1:30 to reach destination, bt FMC was showing 2:32. 1h longer.I did the math an noticed I was ok and probably FMC wasn't doint its math properly. 4 minutes later it shows the correct ETE.I really don't know what was wrong, didn't change de FP and all my previous calculations done before flight used distance displayed at FMC. I is not boddering me but think you guys should check. I'll also monitor this time during my flight to see if it repeats.
December 28, 200916 yr See pg 112-113 in the AOM, which suggests you insert "A" in the trip plan field to update ETE and DIST... I've always gotten this info from the NAV pages. Dan Downs KCRP
