some "geographically constrained" airports will have an ASDA less than runway length due to part of the end of the runway being used as a safety area
My point exactly.
FMC speeds only provide balanced field speeds, they do not know about the geographical restraints and thus must never be followed.

Only ever use them as a reference when obstacles etc are not any factor and use the FMC speeds as a gross error check only.
