Thank you for your replies;


I think I do not confuse the difference between TAS, GS! I just give you a quote of OAT-Notes:

Distance to accellerate/General Principles Take Off:

"From Netwon's laws of motion, the distance required for a body to reach a speed `V` from rest with a constant acceleration 'a' is : Vē/2a

This speed is True Ground Speed, wheras the lift off speed is an IAS."


Best
