Open the MCDU. If the data or menu page is displayed; use the INIT button so that page INIT A opens (INIT B only
can be opened if the engines are not running). The data input can either be done using the scratchpad or the PC
keyboard. To use the PC keyboard please just “left” click on the grey field beside ‘1’ on the scratchpad. The
change will be confirmed “KEYBOARD INPUT ON”. To change back to the MCDU scratchpad “right” click on the
same spot again.
Using Keyboard Input you can type Scratchpad entries with your keyboard, click the LSK’s with the F1-F12 key
(F1-F6 simulates the left LSK’s, F7-F12 simulates the right LSK’s) or by holding down Ctrl (left or right for the
respective LSK) + # where # means a number from 1 – 6. You can also use the Arrows on your keyboard to “hit”
the MCDU arrows.
