Narrative:
Departed den runway 35L. 35R was required as per computer weight and balance form. Advisory runways analysis computer printout showed maximum allowable takeoff weight above our actual weight for runway 35L. So 35L was used. However, we failed to note that a different flap setting was required. This situation came about partly by allowing ourselves to be rushed (taxi time was shorter than anticipated) and we were busy starting the second engine, then cleared into position for takeoff. Also, probably due to limited use of new computer generated printout of weight and balance and runway analysis. Until recently, this information was passed to the crew over VHF radio. Problem can be avoided by not allowing to be rushed by the situation.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: MLG FLC USING COMPUTER-GENERATED WT AND BAL INFO (NOT USED TO THIS PROC) DEPARTS WITHOUT PROPER FLAPS FOR TKOF.
Narrative: DEPARTED DEN RWY 35L. 35R WAS REQUIRED AS PER COMPUTER WT AND BAL FORM. ADVISORY RWYS ANALYSIS COMPUTER PRINTOUT SHOWED MAX ALLOWABLE TKOF WT ABOVE OUR ACTUAL WT FOR RWY 35L. SO 35L WAS USED. HOWEVER, WE FAILED TO NOTE THAT A DIFFERENT FLAP SETTING WAS REQUIRED. THIS SITUATION CAME ABOUT PARTLY BY ALLOWING OURSELVES TO BE RUSHED (TAXI TIME WAS SHORTER THAN ANTICIPATED) AND WE WERE BUSY STARTING THE SECOND ENG, THEN CLRED INTO POS FOR TKOF. ALSO, PROBABLY DUE TO LIMITED USE OF NEW COMPUTER GENERATED PRINTOUT OF WT AND BAL AND RWY ANALYSIS. UNTIL RECENTLY, THIS INFO WAS PASSED TO THE CREW OVER VHF RADIO. PROBLEM CAN BE AVOIDED BY NOT ALLOWING TO BE RUSHED BY THE SITUATION.
