747-400 cheat sheet usage for V-speed and derate calcs

hi,

I am trying to understand the 747 takeoff data cheat sheet and am somewhat unsure of it's usage.

The cheat sheet is from b747400.com, http://b747400.com/pdf/told.pdf

I understand much of the fields in the first page but on the derate and V speed table on page 2 I am unsure of the usage of the first section with the rows:

WT-->
FIELD
CLIMB
OBST

WT is obvious but I am unsure what the figures for FIELD, CLIMB and OBST represent.

Can someone give me a run down on how to make the most of this sheet?

I am using this sheet for practice on the PMDG 747-400X on FSX using real world procedures.

Thanks in advance

Andy
