Thank you for your feedback.

It seems we have 4 types of takeoff: 3 mentioned by FE Hoopy and one mentioned by Old Smokey.
Which type of takeoff is used for the takeoff performance charts or takeoff performance computations before flight?

Old Smokey, if I am not mistaken, you are saying that:
- A roll-on takeoff (with minimum 10 knots) is considered as equivalent to a standing takeoff
-The takeoff roll is increased (60m or 200ft) if the rolling takeoff is used.

But it seems that Boeing is saying there is negligible difference (less than 50ft) regarding the takeoff roll between the standing takeoff and the rolling takeoff. If this statement is true and the roll-on takeoff is considered as equivalent to the standing takeoff, therefore the difference in the takeoff roll between the rolling takeoff and the roll-on takeoff is negligible (less than 50ft).
If the difference is 50 ft, how much this distance will reduce the RTOW?

Feedback appreciated.
