Which measurement is required to determine takeoff feasibility under the standard?

Takeoff feasibility is determined by how much usable runway you have to reach liftoff speed. The key measurement is the runway distance remaining—the distance from your current position to the end of the runway. This shows whether you have enough usable pavement for the aircraft’s required takeoff distance. Simply knowing the total runway length doesn’t tell you how much of it you still have behind you. Threshold crossing height is a landing performance parameter and isn’t used to judge takeoff feasibility. Aircraft weight affects the required takeoff distance, but the direct measurement used to assess feasibility is the distance remaining. If the remaining distance meets or exceeds the aircraft’s required takeoff distance, takeoff is feasible; otherwise, it isn’t.
