A balanced field is where the accelerate go and accelererate stop
distances are equal. This produces a balanced V1. This will give you
the minimum field length for a given wieght (It can also be calculated
for an ATM or fixed derate). It does not give you the max takeoff
wieght and not all airlines use it.


From what I understand, it is a calculation done before every takeoff, and
it has to do with how far and how fast they will be able to go down the
runway, and still abort and get stopped on the runway, safely.

This would be the accelerate stop distance.
