They've made it much more difficult to properly do this calculation. The correction chart USED to be on a laminated copy of the W&B form in the FO side in the glareshield, but with the new W&B forms a couple of years ago it's gone. Then they got rid of the QRH and its useful charts, including this one. I've suggested to several people that we put that chart back in there, since it is now buried in the volume 1. Not a good place for a chart that should be consulted before every flight. The end result: nobody does the correction anymore. The anti-QRH squad in the training center evidently thinks that crews pull out their volume 1 on every quick turn. Some very enterprising FOs have copied and laminated the chart themselves for quick reference, but it should be more accessible.
