It's the safety factor that is applied to the basic performance to get the length that is required for normal operations. The rules (EU-ops and FAA I think) say you must be able to complete the landing using only 60% of the available runway which is the same as saying that your required length is the actual demonstrated distance plus 67% (*1.67). Wet runway requires *1.92
