ZFW and LOAD are pure preflight items needed for flight planning. No need to show them in EFB v2 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiloJuliett Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 But GW and FOB are dynamic, so they change during the flight. This is flight phase EFB covers. ZFW and LOAD are needed for planning, as Oski mentioned, and they are fix. EFB doesn't aim to cover this phase of preparation, hence the values are not needed. The only situation that comes into my mind where load would change in-flight, is for parachute or fire fighting. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
