If taking off on a wet runway, is it guaranteed to have split markers?

When taking off on a wet runway, whether or not there are split markers is not a given; instead, it depends on various factors. These factors include the specific conditions of the runway surface, weather conditions, the type of aircraft being flown, and the weight of the aircraft.

For example, a wet runway could lead to reduced traction, but the degree to which this affects the takeoff performance can vary based on the aircraft's design, configuration, and the exact characteristics of the surface conditions, such as the amount of water present and its interaction with the runway material. Additionally, the pilot's technique and experience also play a critical role in how the aircraft responds during takeoff on a wet surface.

Because of this variability, it cannot be said that split markers will always be present or occur in every situation. Understanding these influencing factors is important for pilots to make informed decisions in varying weather and runway conditions.
