Sizing to take-off distance requirements


For FAR 23 certified, propeller driven aeroplanes it can be observed that the distance (Sto) required to clear a 50’ obstacle is 1.66 greater than the ground run. The ground run (StoG) is a function of wing loading, power loading, & take off co-efficient of lift.
Utilising 2 * 85 Hp Jabiru 2200 engines, then as per part 1, chapter 3, page 95 as;

StoG = (W/S)to(W/P)to/σCLto    
where:  CLto = CLmax/1.21
