744F W&B read out photo, anyone?

I don't know if you've been following this thread; we're stuck for a photo of the WAB computer read-out on the 400F maindeck. I've googled away without success. Would any of you have such a photo or be able to take one and post it?



Cheers.

To the pilots the WBS readout takes the form of figures depicting the ZFW and Gross Wt and are shown in those lines in the Perf page of the CDU. These WBS generated weights are in small font. They can be overwritten by the pilots with data from the loadsheet. Also, on the Takeoff Ref page, there is a WBS generated Trim CG figure depicting % MAC in small font. Likewise, this can be overwritten.

There also is quite possibly, data that can be extracted from the central maintenance computer and displayed on the Centre CDU, but this is mainly an engineering feature and not normally used by the pilots.

I cut and pasted a picture of this into a word doc, but can't seem to attach it

Didn't know there was one on the main deck. Just shows you - you never stop learning!

Yep; it's beside (aft) the side cargo door, just above the control panel, so the Loadmaster has a constant readout of the balance state of his aircraft.

Some (I can think of at least 15 :-) also have a read out at the NCD panel.
