Sec. 29.61  Takeoff distance: Category A.

    (a) The normal takeoff distance is the horizontal distance along the 
takeoff path from the start of the takeoff to the point at which the 
rotorcraft attains and remains at least 35 feet above the takeoff 
surface, attains and maintains a speed of at least VTOSS, and 
establishes a positive rate of climb, assuming the critical engine 
failure occurs at the engine failure point prior to the takeoff decision 
point.
    (b) For elevated heliports, the takeoff distance is the horizontal 
distance along the takeoff path from the start of the takeoff to the 
point at which the rotorcraft attains and maintains a speed of at least 
VTOSS and establishes a positive rate of climb, assuming the 
critical engine failure occurs at the engine failure point prior to the 
takeoff decision point.
