Hello Gentlemen,

I'm new to this section of the forum. I would like to ask a query regarding the entry of ZFW on the Perf Init page of the FMC. As you must have observed the FMC rounds of the fuel quantities entered into it, but does it still take into account the rest of it.

For example; if we put ZFW- 56.938 Kg it rounds it off to 56.9 & the GW gets adjusted accordingly. My question is that is it internally taking care of those 38kg or not?

Ofcourse, that is why your V2 actually comes out to 162,834 kts.
Never give up thinking.

Always round up the decimal point!
