Default Near Vertical Takeoff

Yup - that's how they calculate Balanced Field Length. IIRC it's where the distance to get to V1 (takeoff decision speed), abort and stop equals the distance to continue the takeoff on one engine to 50' altitude. After V1 it takes more distance to stop than to continue on one engine.
