  1. A balanced field takeoff is a condition where the accelerate-stop distance required (ASDR) is equal to the takeoff distance required (TODR) for the aircraft weight, engine thrust, aircraft configuration and runway condition. For a given aircraft weight, engine thrust, aircraft configuration and runway condition the shortest runway length that complies with safety regulations is the balanced field length. The unbalanced field length is a condition where the (ASDR) is less than the the takeoff distance required (TODR), thus if you notice in the chart, the Vcef is reduced to be equal minimum control speed on ground (Vmcg) , thus ; in the case where the runway is shorter than CFL, the rotation speed Vro = Vcef = Vmcg. So it's a matter of relation between the distance and speeds, as distance increases, speed increases to the max of take off speed ( not more than takeoff speed) as the aircraft is supposed to be airborne after takeoff speed.
