# Calculating Takeoff Performance | ||
|
||
This is an advanced guide on how to calculate takeoff performance in the A32NX. This is meant to supplement information the provided in our flyPadOS 3 documentation and usage guide. | ||
|
||
[flyPad Performance Calculator Page](../../../fbw-a32nx/feature-guides/flypados3/performance.md){ .md-button } | ||
|
||
Clicking on the calculate button after all the input fields are filled properly will either result in takeoff speeds and Flex temperature (if Flex was selected and can be used) | ||
being displayed in the replica of the MCDU Takeoff Perf Pages provided on the right side of the calculator unless the takeoff weight exceeds the maximum takeoff weight for the | ||
input conditions or if any of the input conditions exceed any airplane limitations. If any of these conditions occur, a suitable error message will pop up. | ||
|
||
## Examples | ||
|
||
Information that can be obtained from Airport 10-9 (or 10-9A) charts | ||
|
||
### EGLL | ||
|
||
![egll-to.png](..%2F..%2Fassets%2Fadvanced-guides%2Ftakeoff-perf%2Fegll-to.png){loading=lazy} | ||
|
||
- Item 1 is the elevation for a takeoff from Runway 09L. | ||
- Item 2 shows an example of a relatively rare zero-degree turn-on angle from the taxiway to the runway. This is denoted by the gray taxiway extending far enough after the turn | ||
to align the airplane with the runway direction before it gets to the beginning of the runway (indicated by the beginning of the black runway diagram). | ||
- Item 3 is the elevation for a takeoff from Runway 27R. | ||
- Item 4 shows a common 90-degree entry from the taxiway to the runway, which requires a portion of the runway to align the airplane in the direction of the runway for takeoff. | ||
|
||
Since the elevations of both ends of the runway are the same, the slope for takeoffs from both Runway 09L and 27R is zero. | ||
|
||
!!! info "Unmarked In Above Example" | ||
The magnetic variation for this airport is shown by the arrow on the lower-right side of the chart. | ||
|
||
The magnetic variation at EGLL is 0 degrees, so there is no difference between a true heading and a magnetic heading. No conversion is needed for the METAR wind direction when | ||
the wind is input manually for this airport. | ||
|
||
![eggl-10-9a.png](..%2F..%2Fassets%2Fadvanced-guides%2Ftakeoff-perf%2Feggl-10-9a.png){loading=lazy} | ||
|
||
For a large airport like EGLL, there is not enough space to add the additional runway information on the 10-9 chart. In this case, TORA distance for each runway and for | ||
intersection takeoffs is provided on the 10-9A chart. For a Runway 09L full-length takeoff, the TORA is 12,799 feet, or 3901 meters. | ||
|
||
### SBRF | ||
|
||
Be aware that some runways for which the airport 10-9 chart shows a zero-degree runway entry angle, MSFS 2020 has the taxiway aligned such that a 90-degree entry angle is | ||
required. One example of this is SBRF/Recife, Brazil. The marked area in the airport 10-9 chart below shows that the airplane can be aligned in the direction of takeoff before | ||
entering the black runway area. In MSFS 2020, however, the taxiway meets the runway end at a 90-degree angle. | ||
|
||
![sbrf-to.png](..%2F..%2Fassets%2Fadvanced-guides%2Ftakeoff-perf%2Fsbrf-to.png){loading=lazy width=75%} | ||
|
||
The magnetic variation for SBRF is 21 degrees West. For a magnetic variation in the West direction, add the magnetic variation to the true wind direction referenced to | ||
true North number to get the magnetic wind direction referenced to true North. For example, if the winds are 240/10 from the METAR, then input 261/10 into the takeoff calculator (240+21). | ||
|
||
!!! info "Rounding" | ||
You can also round this off to the nearest ten degrees, 260/10, which will probably be what ATIS would give you. | ||
|
||
### LOWI | ||
|
||
![lowi.png](..%2F..%2Fassets%2Fadvanced-guides%2Ftakeoff-perf%2Flowi.png){loading=lazy} | ||
|
||
This airport’s 10-9 chart has all the information on one chart. This is an example where both runways have a 180-degree entry angle; that is, the airplane must use the runway | ||
to taxi to the runway end and then turn around to use the full runway length for takeoff. TORA values for the full runway length as well as from the taxiway | ||
intersections (where a 90-degree entry angle would apply) are listed in the Additional Runway Information section. | ||
|
||
#### Calculating Runway Slope | ||
|
||
The runway elevation for each runway is different, so each runway will have a slope value. Use the following equation to calculate the slope value: | ||
|
||
!!! info "Slope Equation" | ||
$$\frac{Elevation\,at\,end\,of\,TORA - Elevation\,at\,beginning\,of\,TORA}{TORA} * 100$$ | ||
|
||
\[ with\,all\,units\,being\,the\,same.\] | ||
|
||
!!! info "Runway 08 Example" | ||
To calculate the runway slope for Runway 08 the equation with units included would look like the following: | ||
|
||
$$\frac{1894 - 1907}{6562} * 100 = -0.20\%$$ | ||
|
||
For LOWI, the magnetic variation is 4 degrees East. When the magnetic variation is to the East, subtract the variation from the true wind value to determine winds referenced to the | ||
magnetic North. If the winds are 240/10 true from the METAR, adjust it to 236/10 when entering it into the takeoff performance calculator. | ||
|
||
Since the magnetic variation is only 4 degrees and winds are normally rounded to the nearest ten degrees, you can also just skip converting the wind reference from true North | ||
to magnetic North for LOWI. | ||
|
