How stupid of me.
On the contrary, you've led us to the right documents...

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?
But isn't that what TODA is all about? Or put another way, in a situation with significant clearway, where TORA, not TODA, is limiting, is it not still about pavement rather than safe flight path.

In practice, is TORA ever limiting?
