Hello to FMS specialist,

What are the assumptions used to compute fuel and time to Alternate from Destination ?

Nevermind, you're looking for what calculations the FMC is using to get it's fuel remaining on board rather than the pre-dispatch load aren't you....

From FCOM DSC 22-20-40-30 Other Computations:

Predictions on ALTERNATES page are based on:

    1. No step can be inserted in an alternate flight plan
    2. No predictions are displayed for the selected alternate on flight plan pages. However, the flight crew can read ALTN trip fuel and time on the INIT B page before engine start, and estimated time and estimated fuel on board at alternate on the FUEL PRED page after engine start.
