Section 29.60 Elevated heliport takeoff path:
Category A.
(a) The elevated heliport takeoff path
extends from the point of commencement of the takeoff procedure to a
point in the takeoff path at which the
rotorcraft is 1,000 feet above the takeoff surface and compliance with
Section 29.67(a)(2) is shown. In addition - 
(1) The requirements of Section 29.59(a)
must be met;
(2) While attaining VTOSS and a positive rate of climb, the rotorcraft may
descend below the level of the takeoff
surface if, in so doing and when clearing the elevated heliport edge, every
part of the rotorcraft clears all obstacles by at least 15 feet;
(3) The vertical magnitude of any descent below the takeoff surface must be
determined; and
(4) After attaining VTOSS and a positive rate of climb, the landing gear
may be retracted.
(b) The scheduled takeoff weight
must be such that the climb requirements of Section 29.67 (a)(1) and (a)(2) will be
met.
(c) Takeoff distance will be determined in accordance with Section 29.61.

Section 29.61 Takeoff distance: Category A.
(a) The normal takeoff distance is
the horizontal distance along the takeoff path from the start of the takeoff to
the point at which the rotorcraft attains and remains at least 35 feet above
the takeoff surface, attains and maintains a speed of at least VTOSS, and establishes a positive rate of climb, assuming the critical engine failure occurs at the engine failure point prior to
the takeoff decision point.
(b) For elevated heliports, the takeoff distance is the horizontal distance
along the takeoff path from the start
of the takeoff to the point at which the
rotorcraft attains and maintains a
speed of at least VTOSS and establishes a

Section 29.62 Rejected takeoff: Category A.
The rejected takeoff distance and
procedures for each condition where
takeoff is approved will be established
with - 
(a) The takeoff path requirements of
SectionSection 29.59 and 29.60 being used up to the
TDP where the critical engine failure
is recognized and the rotorcraft is landed and brought to a complete stop on
the takeoff surface;
(b) The remaining engines operating
within approved limits;
(c) The landing gear remaining extended throughout the entire rejected
takeoff; and
(d) The use of only the primary controls until the rotorcraft is on the
ground. Secondary controls located on
the primary control may not be used
until the rotorcraft is on the ground.
Means other than wheel brakes may be
used to stop the rotorcraft if the means
are safe and reliable and consistent results can be expected under normal operating conditions.

Section 29.63 Takeoff: Category B.
The horizontal distance required to
take off and climb over a 50-foot obstacle must be established with the most
unfavorable center of gravity. The
takeoff may be begun in any manner
if - 
(a) The takeoff surface is defined;
(b) Adequate safeguards are maintained to ensure proper center of gravity and control positions; and
(c) A landing can be made safely at
any point along the flight path if an
engine fails.
