Unsafe Condition

Temporary loss of the flight director (FD) and autothrottle (A/THR) on an airplane dispatched under the provisions of a master minimum equipment list (MMEL) item for fuel quantity indication (FQI). This behavior is systematic when an airplane is dispatched under certain MMEL FQI items, invalidating the gross weight and center-of-gravity computation at the fuel control and monitoring computer (FCMC)-level.
