I like that CS included some of the basic performance charts for the 727, but I am seeking a chart that gives takeoff distance calculations.  Can anyone point me to a takeoff performance chart that includes distances for various temps and altitudes and load-outs?

One of the reasons I am looking for this is the following scenario, which I am hoping someone can help me with:

The Boeing B727-200 Freighter

• ULD Weight is at the default 4000 Lbs Each
  
• 10 containers loaded, giving the aircraft a ZFW of 138210 Lbs
  
• Max fuel loaded at 51462 Lbs
  
• This gives a gross weight of 189672 Lbs
  

I am using the 190000 Lb max gross weight data from the Captain Sim Manuals, so I already know the following:

• Flaps 15
  
• V1 147
  
• Vr 148
  
• V2 158
  
• V2+10 1350 fpm climb rate
  
• 200 Kt 1550 fpm climb rate
  
• Vref @ Flaps 30 137 assuming immediate landing @ 160000 Lbs after fuel burnoff (max landing weight is 161,000 lb)
  

Also off Wikipedia I referenced the 727 and it states the following for the 722's max weights:

• Max Takeoff Weight: 209500 lb
  
• Max Landing Weight: 161000 lb
  

So I should be well under max takeoff weight for the 200 Freighter.

I also noted the Vrefs for various lower weights assuming for fuel burn off enroute, which reminds me - I also need a fuel planner of some sort for this bird which works with Captain Sim numbers.

Now here is the problem:

I am attempting the following Fed Ex Flight:
[code]=================================================================
FDX1487            Federal Express Corporation "FedEx" (Memphis, TN)
Aircraft        Boeing 727-200 (tri-jet) (B722/W)
Origin        Denver Intl (KDEN)
Destination        Grand Junction Regional (KGJT)
Route              ROCKI6 DBL V134 JNC
Route Decoded      KDEN DEN CONNR DBL LINDZ GLENO SLOLM RIYNO HUGSI
           EDUKY PACES JNC KGJT
Duration        33 minutes
Departure      05:42 MDT
Arrival      06:20 MDT
Speed            435 kts  
Altitude      28000 feet
=================================================================[/code]

Please bear in mind, I already know I do NOT need this much fuel for such a short flight, but I am testing this product for an article I am writing and am using max takeoff weight conditions assuming the resulting flight would be much longer.  I would be dumping fuel or adjusting fuel load for being within the 1600000 target landing weight while in the short cruise for testing purposes.

The takeoff runway is 35L with default "Fair Weather".  The elevation for the runway is 5430.5 ft.  It has dimensions of 12000 x 150 ft.

So what is the issue?  Here it is: At max thrust I cannot get off the runway.  I put in max power and she seems way underpowered.  She cannot get to the rotation speed of 148 knots before overrunning the opposite end of the runway.  Just out of curiosity, I kept her going and she eventually rotated -- after crossing over the distant Runway 8/26.

I know that even at max gross weight a 727 **should** be able to get off a 12000 foot runway even at this altitude.  

Am I doing something wrong?  I figured maybe too much flap, but I tried a flaps 5 takeoff with the same result.

Can any 727 vets please assist to make sure if this is user error (mine) or if this is an issue with the thrust of the aircraft?

Thanks!!!  :)

The issue has been addressed in SP2.2.
