Take-Off distance

[alexdan]

Dumb question here probably.
Normally given as ground roll and 50ft clearance under various conditions of weight, surface, Alt. and wind..

Does Jerry's FDWB-v2005-14-C Excel Prop sheet refer specifically to the 50ft distance?

The P-51 data given doesn't help me as I haven't got hard data for that.
Now for Military C-46A's I have evrything :-)

Not at home to help ya with the reference, but America's Hundred Thousand has takeoff distance info for the P-51. As with most test data from the era, ya might not go to the bank with it and argue over fourth significant figures.

From the book Fliger refered to. No mention of clearing a 50 foot obstacle, so I think it's just ground run to take off.
