"For those who wish to use the 744F, there is a program called ""TOPCAT"" (Take-Off Performance Calculation Tool) that works in similar fashion as the RFP Take-off Performance tool, providing derate take performance based on runway and aircraft configuration. It even calculates runway intersection take-offs! The authors are constantly updating this tool too, so more features are being added all teh time. It is available <a href='http://topcat.ofplan.net/' target='_blank'>here</a>. It's an Excel 2000 based macro. The authors have put a lot of effort into making it an excellent tool. It is free, requires registration, but the team does take donations via Paypal."
