Hello MD83FO


Here´s wht you find in the AI FCTM :





ERRONEOUS ZFWCG ENTERED


The CG computed by the FCMC is erroneous. This induces the following

consequences:


· Incorrect CG is displayed on ECAM SD and on MCDU FUEL PRED page

· CG regulation is affected but “EXCESS AFT CG” warning remains




reliable.


· Minor impact on FM predictions.

· Additionally, VLS and Vapp speeds on MCDU PERF APPR page are



impacted (A340-500/600 only).


· At take-off, the pitch trim setting might be erroneous. This is minor since



take-off has been certified in full forward CG with full aft trim and vice

versa.


· In flight, the PRIM operate with CG=30% which has minor consequence



on the aircraft handling


· AP/FD control laws are slightly affected

· VLS displayed on PFD is impacted (A340-500/600 only)



Vaprot, Vamax, Vsw are not affected since based on aerodynamic data.

ERRONEOUS ZFW ENTERED



GW and, to a lesser degree, CG computed by FCMC are erroneous. This induces

the following consequences:


· Incorrect GW and CG displayed on ECAM and on MCDU FUEL PRED



page


· CG regulation is slightly affected since the aft target CG depends on the



weight but “EXCESS AFT CG” warning remains reliable.


· The SRS mode guidance may be affected (If VLS > V2 inserted on



MCDU PERF TO page).


· FM predictions and speeds are affected

· The FG and PRIM control laws are slightly affected

· The characteristic speeds displayed on PFD are affected.


Vaprot, Vamax, Vsw are not affected since based on aerodynamic data.
