18
Q

The FMC must have continuous power to operate. When the electrical power is interrupted and returns, the FMC restarts. After restart,…
- the active flight plan, speeds and weights are all purged and must be re-entered.
- selecting activate and execute will restore the FMC to it’s previous state.
- both the performance data and route previously in use are unaffected by the power interruption.
- the performance data displayed on the PERF INIT page must be re-entered.

A

the performance data displayed on the PERF INIT page must be re-entered.

19
Q
