CG estimate dependent on pilot data input?
Thanks for the explanation of CG estimate calculation. It sounds like this is dependent on the crew entering the initial weight and CG and then the system monitoring fuel management during the flight. Is there anything in this process to guard against a data entry error? If the CG is actually 30% but the crew enters 10% does the system spend the whole flight thinking CG is near the forward limit when in fact it is much closer to the aft limit? How about if the initial ZFW entry is off by 30%?
I would imagine there are checks or limits to guard against an entry that is way out of bounds. I'm interested in whether or not the system is able to determine that the data entry, while within operational limits, is in error and if it can make such a determination what corrective action does it take?
