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.

I admit I rarely check that chart. Having my apr binder hanging from the bracket, atogs book opened in my lap, atis card flopped on top of that, one hand on the pen, rapidly run out of room to rummage through the chart bag AND find that **** chart. Would be nice if it was the first AND last page of the ATOGS, that way on the aircraft split in two volumes, inside the front cover on volume one, has the chart, back cover on vol 2... theres the other chart. But that would probably make way to much sense, and have to get some FAA approval to modify the performance charts, etc etc etc etc.
