TOLD Data Cards--Yes or No?
The mob I'm with recently introduced data cards. Corporate operation, yes, but what do most airlines do for data cards when the plane has FMS-derived, AFM-compliant performance data electronically posted to the PFD?
Do you use paper cards or not?
If so, how complicated? Ours includes just about everything concerning the departure--including Flight Log times, WX, and Fuel Onboard and Uplifted.

Might not that defeat the prime purpose of an easy to locate spot providing the critical safety related data for the movement ?

Many carriers use a takeoff data card that has far too much info on it, it seemingly includes even the kitchen sink.
Keep it simple.
Speeds.
Thrust.
Flaps.
Temp/wind/QNH.
Runway selected.
The latter is rather important.
PanAmerican came a cropper at KSFO with a last minute runway change, years ago...not good.
