Fly The Airplane, Not The Chart

Sorry NoD, the performance charts have gone out the window but at least the aircraft is off the ground.
Exactly. If you use a chart for flaps/slats extended and then takeoff with flaps/slats retracted, your calculations are not valid and you need to fly the airplane, not the chart.
