I think using just a % system alone would be too simple, to use Luizdom's example from above, then the 737 could take off in just 78.74 ft (with a 1% loading) which while impracticable and unprofitable it seems strange that this option does exist. I haven't done any reasurch to establish figures but could we maybe look at limiting the drop at say, 25%. So if your aircraft has a 75% loading, then 75% of the runway length is used, but any lower loading at 75% less remains the runway requirement.
