Just to get the facts right:
For the Falcon 20, DCONTAM is negligible below 0.1 inch EWD (approximately 3 mm). And then it rises and becomes an issue above 3mm.
And the wrong assumption again:
What matters is the fact that the wheels must push the water out of the way in order to move forward. This requires energy. The fact that some of the available energy is being used to push water aside, means that there is less energy available to accelerate the aircraft. So the distance required to accelerate to a given speed is greater.
...which was a response to:
I have a question regarding the take-off on a wet runway. (Wet less than 3 mm)

Are we done?
