Point-in-case:

The data is there, as part of the data package. Part of the AFM has moved into a piece of software referenced from the AFM. Doesn't really change anything, except for the fact that it will worry me and other members of the Neo-Luddite Society who believe that someone will, sooner or later (and probably me/sooner, according to member of very high standing Mr. Murphy), end up without precalculated take-off data, batteries, power outlets, phone and paddle in Stercus Creek, WI.

(We maintain that electronic-only data critical to flight is an evil only slightly lesser than that new-fangled reaction engine which is getting all the hoopla nowadays.)

Arguing the form of data when meeting the statement that it "cannot be done as it's not in the perf manual" is semantics. And I want my post card!
