There is also the matter of the surface condition factors that must be applied when operating from grass strips.

For dry grass the factor is 1.2, but for wet grass the factor 1.3.

These factors do not apply just to the ASDR. They also apply to the TORR and TODR. Neither the TORR nor the TODR include any deceleration phase, so the factor must be to take account for some decrease in acceleration.

If the water cannot reduce the acceleration rate, why is the factor for wet grass greater than that for dry grass?
