DECLARED DISTANCES
Field lengths available for takeoff and landing are known as declared
distances:
LDA
DT RWY SWY
TORA CWY
ASDA
TODA
TORA
TORA: The length of runway which is declared available by the
appropriate authority and suitable for the ground run of an aeroplane
taking off.
TORA is equal to the distance from the threshold to the Departure End
of Runway (DER).
TORA
TORA
TODA
TODA: The length of the takeoff run available plus the length of the
clearway available.
The maximum length of the clearway is half the TORA.
TODA
ASDA
ASDA: The length of the takeoff run available plus the length of the
stopway, if such stopway is declared available by the appropriate
authority and is capable of bearing the mass of the aeroplane under
the prevailing operating conditions.

DECLARED DISTANCES
According to JAR-OPS 1.490, “[…] an operator must take account of
the loss, if any, of runway length due to alignment of the aeroplane
prior to takeoff.”
Line-up corrections should be made when computing takeoff
performance, anytime runway access does not permit positioning the
airplane at the threshold.

The line-up distance will increase if the runway is not wide enough.
DECLARED DISTANCES
Depending on the length of the stopway and/or the clearway (if
available), ASDA may be equal, longer or shorter than TODA.

Declared distances can be found in the AIP, although they are included
in the charts.
REQUIRED DISTANCES
Field lengths required for takeoff are:
a) The distance from the start of ground roll to the point where the
aeroplane reaches a height of 35 ft and the V2 speed with engine
failure having occurred at Vef.
b) 115% of the distance between start of ground roll and the point
where the aeroplane reaches a height of 35 ft and the V2 speed with
all engines operating.
If V1 is reduced ASD will decrease and TOD will increase, and vice
versa.

If we increase the balanced V1 value, the ASDR will increase and the
TODR will decrease.
In this case ASDR > TODR, and TODR = TODA = TORA.

UNBALANCED FIELD LENGTH
We have seen how changing the value of V1 we can increase our
OTOW, if a clearway or a stopway is available.
But if BOTH of them are available, then we can operate with a balanced
V1, since both ASDA and TODA are increased with those clearway and
stopway.
