Welcome to the world of more realistic flight simulation!
Takeoff Performance Calculator now brings you one step closer to real life aircraft operations. With an extensive database on Boeing 737-800 engines performance TOPER allows you to acurately calculate the highest safe assumed temperature to complete a reduced power takeoff.
The use of assumed temperature not only brings you closer to real life aircraft operation, but consider a scenario where you have a light load and a very long runway: using the maximum allowed thrust would accelerate your aircraft so quickly that it would make your airplane take-off like a rocket and you will most likely accelerate way beyond the V2+20 knots in the initial climb. Reduced thrust and reduced rate of acceleration also results in more time for the flight crew to scan the instruments before reaching V1.
Now you can finally use that "N1 LIMIT" page on your 738 CDU like a pro!
Features:
Accurate ASSUMED TEMPERATURE calculations using variety of parameters
Takeoff performace for type Boeing 737-800 with CFM56-7B26 engines
Easy-to-read manual explaining how to use the program and what is the program for
Very Easy To Use! I'm using this for my PMDG 737NGX and it is a quick way to get de-rate take off calculations for a realistic takeoff on any runway, wet or dry. With this new update, it now has an option to use Imperial weights, which will make it much more convenient for us westerners.
It is a very handy calculator and a real value considering the little that it cost.

For NGX or iFly users who like to takeoff using realistic de-rates, don't hesitate to get this tool. It won't break your bank,it's fun to use and for a quick take off setup, is a good option to the other dispatch tools that require more extensive time and setup.
