TORA stands for

TORA stands for

• A. Takeoff Distance Available
• B. Takeoff Runway Available
• C. Accelerate Stop Distance Available
• D. Landing Distance Available

Answer: (B)

Take-Off Run Available is the length of runway declared available for the take-off run, measured from the threshold to the end of the runway that can be used for acceleration up to liftoff. This distance defines how much usable space you have to reach takeoff speed. It’s different from takeoff distance, which is the actual space needed by the aircraft to accelerate to liftoff under given conditions. Clearways and stopways affect related terms—Take-Off Run Available is the fundamental runway length for the takeoff run, while a clearway would extend Take-Off Distance Available, and a stopway would extend Accelerate-Stop Distance Available. Landing Distance Available is the distance usable for landing, not for takeoff.
