The Weights dialog is accessible from the Weights button on the left of the main windows dialog.

 

This weights dialog allows the user to set up the aircraft’s Zero Fuel Weight (ZFW) and the fuel load.

 

An estimate of the aircraft’s rage is available on the right. The route range is only available when a full route has been entered into the MCDU.

 

A Fuel Freeze check tick is available on this dialog.

 

 

Weights

 

 

Note that it is possible by a combination of fuel load and ZFW, to create a weight above the max ramp weight , or max take off weight. The simulation of the aircraft may not not be accurate or  reliable when such weights are used.
