If it weren't available for TORA this thread wouldn't exist in the first place.

Going back to the KATL AFD. You can see TORA is greater than ASDA on almost all rwys.

Also, in the second link you provided, the appendix on pg. 3 illustrates such an example where the TORA included 200' of the RSA pavement where as the ASDA did not.
How stupid of me. Next time I'll read the question more carefully prior to posting.

My apologies.

The least I can do is provide the illustration of a TORA > ASDA:



As far as the rational is concerned, I can only speculate...

Wouldn't it seem logical that an airplane requiring the full TORA value would be well beyond V1 as it passes the end of the pavement designated as the ASDA limit?

In other words, at the ASDA limit, hasn't the focus of the runway certification switched from stopping safely to achieving a safe flight path?
