A couple of tonnes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Out of interest I have just read the LH accident report you refer to and there is no mention of incorrect wind entries in the fmgc. it does however refer to reported, but largely ignored, windshear, plus tailwinds on finals caused by a rapidly passing weather front.
