Manually entering Init 2 data

Post by michael1508 »

hi all,

Instead of sending the Init2 data through Topcat and clicking the "uplink" button, I want to enter the load data manually.
So I would fuel the plane manually via my Skalarki refuel panel and then enter block fuel and ZFW/CG myself.

ZFW and CG I would look up in the Loadsheet from Topcat. For my verification that I use the correct data I did a comparison of the values of Topcat printed loadsheet and the data when using the "uplink" button. While block fuel and ZFW are identical, there is a difference for the CG value. But not sure, if I am looking at the correct values.

Example from my last flight:
Topcat printed loadsheet: I look at MACZFW =34,5%
MCDU uplink: CG=37,0

Am I looking at the right values?

Thanks,
Michael
Regards
Michael

I can confirm Michael's problem, it's the same for me. I would also be interested in a solution.
