A321LR Fuel Load in EFB does not Equal FOB

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

When loading fuel from the built in EFB the weight in FOB does not match.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?

Always.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. Go to the Payload tab in the EFB. See the fuel quantity and compared to the FOB value in the central display. It does not correspond.

  2. Input another value for the fuel in the EFB and apply the load.

  3. Check the FOB in the central display. It still doesn’t match.

If you could edit your post to just focus your description on the issue you want to report so that it can be moved back to the Bug Reporting Hub > Aircraft & Systems .

Issue seems to be related to “External 1” tank (I suppose the tail one ?) as reported on the EFB.

If you enter 10000 kgs in the tablet:


Then it load 10000 kgs into the wing tanks but does not empty the External 1 tank (the 3290 kgs is the default quantity for this tank when you spawn in). This quantity is taken in account in the central display.

So it seems a logic issue with the External 1 tank at least, not sure about the others 3 central tanks.

If you fully load it, all match:


Hi.

Ok. Thank you for confirming the bug.

I didn’t check the levels in each tank.

So are you going to move the topic to where it’s supposed to be?

Or is it me? How do I do that?

Thanks.

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
When applying fuel load from EFB in the A321LR the fuel loaded does not match the EFB

the aircraft maintains the 3300kg of starting fuel in the centre tank regardless of applied load.

I reproduced this after another user reported the issue in discord.

  • always

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. Load to a gate in A321LR

  2. Setup load details in EFB either through importing Simbrief plan or manually adjusting loads (as per EFB screenshot)

  3. Click apply load - then the wrong load appears in the ECAM - with the centre tank still showing the starting 3300kg .(as per ecam screenshot)
