I have a few questions about setting up the 757 (version 4.3) FMS during pre-flight.

First, on the Takeoff Ref page, what is the thrust temperature?  Is the outside air temp?  I have seen really large values here in some tutorials...sometimes on the order of 60 deg C with no explanation.  So...I am just not sure what to put here.

Second, I can never get the FMS to display Pre-Flt Complete.  The FMS chapter of the manual says that "PRE-FLT COMPLETE" should be displayed on the Takeoff Ref page if all pre-flight entries have been made.  It goes on to say that the FMS will display a prompt if there are still missing entries.

I have gone through the whole setup process.  I set the inertial reference position, selected a route, selected a SID and a departure runway, selected a STAR and an approach, set the gross weight, reserve fuel, cruise altitude, cost index, set the initial flap setting, guessed on the thrust temperature, and set the takeoff CG.

I get nothing.  No PRE-FLT COMPLETE and no prompt to fill in missing data.

I guess it is OK.  I mean, everything seems to work fine.  I was just wondering if I am missing something.
