Reading the thread on 'Rumour' re. the BA744 diversion to MAN last week, I was wondering whether the FMC's of the 744 and 73NG, both being different, give ENG out fuel prediction PERF info. I believe the 73NG cannot workout fuel calculations for such MALFS as Gear Down Dispatch, Flap/LED MALFS and I think, ENG INOP. Does the 'brown cockpit' FMC have this capability?

PS I am not asking about ALT capability as the NG does have this as an INFO only page. Thanks.

Nope!
B744 FMC has the feel of an early 80's ATM machine, and comes with multi colour display ( provided you like green....)
