Assumed Temperature Method (ATM)
Here's a poster I created comparing the takeoff performance calculations performed by TOPCAT to those derived from real world data.
The example scenario given illustrates the use of takeoff charts to determine the relevant parameters of a derated takeoff using the assumed temperature method.
Airport & Runway- John F. Kennedy International (KJFK)
- Departure runway in use: 04L
- QNH: 29.42 inHg
- Airport elevation (pressure altitude): 480 ft
- TORA: 11,351 ft
- Runway slope: 0%
- Clearway: None
- Stopway: None
- Obstacles: None
- Airport OAT: +3 °C
- Wind component: 9 kt (headwind)
- Takeoff gross weight: 301,703 kg
- Flaps 20
- All 3 A/C packs OFF
- Anti-ice OFF
N.B. TOPCAT bases its calculations on the Rolls-Royce RB211-524H engine variant.
