3.8. SHORT FIELD TAKEOFF PROCEDURES
Table 11-3.2 presents the transition from vertical to rearward takeoff (IP) HAT
for short field VTOL. If engine failure occurs prior to IP or before TDP is attained,
a safe RTO is assured. Figure 11-3.15 shows the short field takeoff profile.
Short field length and obstacle heights must be known
