FMC Preflight

MN-FLT-OH-201
Minimum Preflight Sequence
During preflight, a prompt in the lower right of the CDU page automatically
directs the crew through the minimum requirements for preflight completion.
Pushing the prompt key for the next page in the flow presents new entry
requirements. Additional entries are made on pages to refine the performance and
route calculations. If a required entry is missed, a prompt on the TAKEOFF page
leads the crew to the preflight page that is missing data.
The airplane inertial position is required for FMC preflight and flight instrument
operation.
A route must be entered and activated. The minimum route information is origin
and destination airports and a route leg.
Performance information requires the airplane weight and cruising altitude.
Supplementary Pages
Supplementary pages are sometimes required. These pages must be manually
selected. Manual selection interrupts the normal automatic sequence. Discussions
of each normal page include methods to display the page when the automatic
sequence is interrupted.
When the route includes SIDs and STARs, they can be entered into the preflight
using the DEPARTURES or ARRIVALS pages.
