Narrative:

Same aircraft out as in. Printer had worked fine. Unable to get load or new takeoff performance system for runway change. Got loads to give both by voice. Takeoff performance system had V speeds ZFW takeoff weight and engine out acceleration altitude, but in retrospect we didn't have aircraft and runway limit weights. That doesn't feel quite right, therefore this report.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: MD80S ACFT RPTR CAPT WAS UNABLE TO OBTAIN ACFT LOAD FOR NEW RWY AND HAD TO GET INFO BY VOICE, BUT STILL DIDN'T HAVE THE ACFT WT AND RWY LIMIT WTS.

Narrative: SAME ACFT OUT AS IN. PRINTER HAD WORKED FINE. UNABLE TO GET LOAD OR NEW TKOF PERFORMANCE SYS FOR RWY CHANGE. GOT LOADS TO GIVE BOTH BY VOICE. TKOF PERFORMANCE SYS HAD V SPDS ZFW TKOF WT AND ENG OUT ACCELERATION ALT, BUT IN RETROSPECT WE DIDN'T HAVE ACFT AND RWY LIMIT WTS. THAT DOESN'T FEEL QUITE RIGHT, THEREFORE THIS RPT.
