SMOC & 5LY
The crew had the correct FMC weight, but the perf. computer had a lower weight. Agree that if the FMC weight had been wrong, they would have been no better off in a Boeing.
john_smith,
Very nice to know. Do you have any further information on this? Tolerances etc?
OPEN DES,
I believe the Boeing speeds are simply dependent on weight and configuration. I had no idea Airbus speeds were always optimized. Are the optimized speeds typically that far from the "standard" speeds? My airline doesn't use improved climb, so I don't have much experience with it.
