Cat A for a 212 from a rather old manual I have in front of me takes you backward and upwards to 160 feet. Initially straight upwards to 40-60ft.

In reality on a good day, hot and heavy your 100% TQ will get you max. 30 feet (more likely 10) above the deck when fully loaded..... and without a wind straight back down on it.

Thats all within weight limits and offloading payload above 22 Celsius.

So as you leave your deck, your tail will clear the deck should an engine fail. Now you have 110-130 feet to get to an airspeed to climb away.
