Hello people! I am now doing my first A340 Tutorial. I'm almost done!! I feel like a professional flying the A340 😉 Anyway, I have some questions for you guys.

1. BLOCK equals FUEL, right? So, the tutorials tell me to put 26.9, or whatever number, for BLOCK. What does that number mean? How can I get this number? How do I know which BLOCK number should I put?

2. Sometimes, the tutorials tell me to put 385.0 for ADF1. What is that number? How and where can I get it?

3. Again, the tutorials tell me to enter 110.60 for FREQ/VOR2. That's the frequency for that VOR, right? Where can I get this frequency without looking at the tutorial?

I don't understand how to get those numbers. So please, I'd appreciate any help related to this.
Thank you

You have to put all the that info into the MCDU. [go to the init page, then click on next page and there you will be able to insert the block]

I will look in the in some manuals i was given and soon reply on how to cover the rest of the situation.

I know how to put that info into the MCDU, but I don't know what all those numbers and frequencies mean and where can I get them.

I will ask the Air Mauritius Chief pilot what it means i'm sure he will have some explanation.

Cool! That sounds professional. Could you tell me what he said about it?

Oh, by the way, I could figure out the BLOCK thing so don't worry about that. Also, I figured out the how to get the VOR frequencies. Just look at SID and STAR charts of the airports.
The only problem I have is with the ADF1 number (question 2).
