June 8, 201015 yr Hi all, What is the correct procedure in regards to once a fuel dump is complete and then updating the fuel weightor aircraft weight in the FMS? (so correct calculations are redone for landing etc)Eg. I just completed a flight where I was carrying 40,000kg of fuel, during cruise I dumped 20,000kg of fuel(so basically I was then carrying 20,000) yet on the Progress pg in FMS still stated that I would be landing with 30,000kg !!!Doesn Jeff Blyth MD11 J41 747 NGX . . awaiting 777 !!!
