TOPCAT takeoff performance table

Recommended Posts

I have a question on the performance table in TOPCAT you get by pressing the 'Compute' button after entering all other data such as weights, fuel on board etc.

 

More specifically I'm wondering how to use the flex (assumed) temp in a realistic way? This since there are a number of temps to choose from where the higher the temp, the shorter the runway margin. Is it simply up to the captain to decide and based on what?

 

Reading the manual it says it's airline specific but I guess most big airlines operating 737-800's (which is what I fly in P3D) use a similar approach to this.

 

Anyone who knows more about this and I'm particularly interested in how SAS does it.
