Hi vilas, SOP still states on FMGC cockpit preparation to insert flaps and THS on takeoff perf page,
the on after start it states "Pith trim hand whell set takeoff CG", rendering the THS units previously set useless. I feel we shouldnt be given those units nor should they be set

Yes. At the moment the MCDU software requires NU/DN input. But after start you set % on the wheel which you can convert from NU/DN to %.Also in A320 it is only as a reminder doesn't give warning. Therefore some airlines after start just take it from Fuel Pred page and set it.
