I saw there is a gross takeoff distance so there must be a net takeoff distance.
My understanding is a gross takeoff distance is the distance from a new airplane with a new engine under ideal conditions with an experienced pilot using proper technique. We can obviously make corrections for less than ideal conditions using safety factors. I would assume this is the net takeoff distance.

But my question is, does the net takeoff distance include the regulatory safety factor (1.33 or 1.15,... whatever it is for the type of operation) or is it just the gross takeoff distance corrected for less than ideal conditions (wind, temp,...)?
