Fuel Control and Monitoring Computer

Also from: FCMC

There are 2 FCMCs. FCMC 1 is normally the active computer and controls fuel transfers, although both computers are used for quantity indications.

The inputs to the system are:

• ADIRS, for aircraft attitude
• FCDC, for THS position
• LGCIU, for landing gear up/down and flight/ground signals
• SFCC, for slats extended
• MCDU data, for initial values

Failures

If both FCMCs fail, a backup system in the FEs is used for gross weight and CG calculations, based on initial figures and the fuel burn.
