Then of course, touchdown is not exactly at your destination as far as the FMC destination position is concerned, is it!
- I think only the software coder/FMS spec writer can answer that. Since the FMS has the touchdown lat and long for the selected runway I had assumed it knew where it was. If it is computing fuel remaining at airfield datum...............chocolate teapot?
