Title: Re: Programming CDU/FMC

Hi
Ill have to some additional figuring. When I use the figures published for "empty weight" in the "fuel and payload" section under aircraft the cdu calculates and adds a gross weight which is different than the total weight published as total weight on the cargo load page. Is "total weight" on the cargo page that of the cargo or the sum of fuel + cargo + empty weight of the airplane. If not a total where do I find these values given that calculations are made automatically in the CDU once a ZFW or gross weight is input.
Perhaps I need a refresher for calculating these values.
Thanks
Warren
