May 30, 20224 yr Wait I'm confused. On the youtube tutorials, I see everyone using the value from MACZFW for ZFWCG on the INIT B page where it asks for ZFW/ZFWCG Edited May 30, 20224 yr by captain420 ASUS ROG Maximus Hero XII ▪︎ Intel i9-10900K ▪︎ NVIDIA RTX 3090 FE ▪︎ 64GB Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro ▪︎ Windows 10 Pro (21H1) ▪︎ Samsung 970 EVO Pro 1TB NVME SSD (OS Drive) ▪︎ Samsung 860 EVO 2TB SATA SSD ▪︎ Seagate 4TB SATA HDD ▪︎ Corsair RMx 850W PSU

The ZFWCG is the (weight of he aircraft with no fuel) and it's Center of gravity. Those are the two numbers that you insert on the top right of the Init B page. Can't get any simpler.

Enter the ZFW and MACZFW you see on the EFB Mass and balance tab at the ZFW/ZWFCG on the INIT B page in the MCDU and you're good to go. The information on the second screenshot should only be used to get the mandatory information for the MCDU PERF page. Just ignore the incorrectly labeled TOW and MACTOW: that tab is all about the upper right part. Edited May 30, 20224 yr by tup61

Ill post this on that thread and remove the second image - thanks Rich Sennett

Those are the two numbers that you insert on the top right of the Init B page. Can't get any simpler. I already knew that. I was just confused because of the terms MACZFW, MACTOW, etc. But thanks.
