2.3. The input data
This paragraph details the input, which the APM program needs for cruise
performance analysis.
Following is a reference table for cross-checking that all required parameters can
be accessed easily.

TAT  Total Air Temperature  (°C)  From the two air data computers (ADC) 
MASS  Aircraft mass (weight)  (kg or lb)  Impact on DFFA 
CG  Center of Gravity  (%)  Impact on DFFA 
FPAC  Flight Path Acceleration  (g)  Horizontal acceleration measured in g.  Impact on DFFA 
VV  Vertical Velocity  (ft/min)  Vertical acceleration 
THDG  True Heading  (°)  Optional - used only if gravity correction activated. 
LAT  Latitude  (°)  Optional - used only if gravity correction activated.

DWI  Wind direction  (°)  Optional - used only if gravity correction activated 
AFT  Average fuel temperature  (°C)  NOT ACTIVE  None 
AFD  Average fuel density  (l/kg)  NOT ACTIVE  None 
REG  N1 - Power setting EPR - Power Setting  (%) (–)  Depends on engine type EPR for IAE, RR and P&W engines, N1 for GE and CFM engines.
