If runway distance remaining is 2,100 ft, is the takeoff requirement satisfied?

Takeoff is possible only if the runway distance you have left is at least as long as the distance the airplane needs to take off under the current conditions. The 2,100 ft remaining is the available length. If the takeoff distance required for the airplane in these conditions is 2,100 ft or less, the requirement is satisfied. So, the given scenario indicates the takeoff can be performed. Keep in mind that with heavier weight, higher density altitude, or adverse runway conditions, the required takeoff distance can increase and might exceed the remaining runway.
