GA take off performance

More of a request here than a question, but could anyone direct me towards a sample of a takeoff performance chart / graph for a general aviation aircraft? Something that will determine the gross TODA / TORA? Just a sample will do for refrence purposes.

Furthermore, does anyone know why the TODA is taken to 50ft for GA and 30ft for comercial ops? My understanding was that 30ft was inteded for large aircraft to clear runway lights etc, though i cant see why GA should have an extra 20 ft, or is that perhaps a safety margine for the PPL holder? Incase anyone was interested where I obtained this informantion, it came from the OA PPL course on the cd's.

Regards,

Antony
