Hi the item "cdu preflight completed" on the before start checklist, is this statement to be found somewhere in the CDU as it is in the 737, i.e. the aircraft telling me that it got all it wants from me?

 

Best regards

Nope.  However, if you have takeoff V speeds and VNAV/LNAV armed then you probably have the key performance elements of the FMS preflight completed; as a minimum a GW, CG, departure runway, etc.  There is not a message similar to the NG.

Ok thanks!
