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.
