Hi Mutt

I follow you now, as a Boeing driver (and not a perf engineer) I am not used to calculating speeds from tables like that. Our company 737 data has either normal speeds or the full blown max capability improved climb, with the associated huge increase in runway speeds - even if you only need an extra ton. A sledgehammer for a walnut maybe, but very easy to use. Your Airbus tables seem like a nightmare at first glance, but at least you only have to increase your runway speeds by the amount needed to meet your actual TOW, which must be safer.

I know Hudson well and have great respect for his experience, but I am sure that flap 25 is definitely for landing only. It may have been finger trouble or maybe he knows something else I don’t know ;-)
