STOL (Short Take Off and Landing). STOL performance of an aircraft is the ability of aircraft to take off and clear a 50-foot obstruction in a distance of 1,500 feet from beginning the takeoff run. It must also be able to stop within 1,500 feet after crossing a 50-foot obstacle on landing. —
The shortest distance between two geographical points is the great-circle distance. In the example (right), the aircraft travelling westward from North America to Japan is following a great-circle route extending northward towards the Arctic region.
The speed will ensure the aircraft achieves the required height above the takeoff surface within the takeoff distance. [citation needed] To achieve a balanced field takeoff, V 1 is selected so the take-off distance with one engine inoperative, and the accelerate-stop distance, are equal. [1]
