Used to have 2 days (4 + 4 hrs each) of take-off performance course. Numbers, charts, kinematics and thermodynamics. Today, it is 2 hrs, the test included. Still called Performance but the content is EFB SW handling. Useful, but not the same thing.

Does your airline teach to understand the AST method algorithm calculates EVERYTHING under the assumed temp, not only the thurst reduction? Can your training captains explain, what is the rounding-up gremlin that will give you (on a very long runway) higher flex from an intersection opposed to a full length?

Don't blame the one asking...
