Narrative:
MEL for the performance computer. Received wrong numbers from dispatch. Requested numbers via ACARS from dispatch. Sent ZFW of 107XXX and tow of 134XXX via ACARS from the loadsheet. Received: tail: XXX; city: phx; runway:25R; wind: 240XX; gust: 00; temperature:35QNH: 29.92 winshear: no; power: red; gear: up rwycond: dry; flaps: opt; bleeds: on; at: tow: 107064Computed results: inputs assumed temp 59CFlaps - 1; V1 - 119; vr - 119; V2 - 123; V flap select 168. Maximum power: 95.2 reduced power: 88.1 stopping margin 5214 ftlevel off height 2135 stabilizer trim setting 6.4The numbers seemed low to both of us but we failed to double check the numbers with dispatch. Toff acceleration was slower than usual. The first officer delayed rotation a few knots and the aircraft was sluggish at rotate. I advanced power to max power at 500 ft and deleted the reduction. I believe we missed the incorrect tow partially due to the format on ACARS being different than what we are normally used to looking at on the performance computer. We both thought the numbers looked low and we should have re-verified the numbers prior to takeoff with an additional request.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: Flight crew at PHX overlooked an error in their performance numbers which were calculated by Dispatch due to an inoperative performance computer. When the aircraft did not feel right on takeoff they responded with increased airspeed and full power.
