We generalize the notion of submersive second-order differential equations by relaxing the condition that the decoupling stems from the tangent lift of a basic distribution. It is shown that this leads to adapted coordinates in which a number of first-order equations decouple from the remaining second-order ones.
Keywords: integrable distributions, decoupling., Second-order differential equations, tangent bundle geometry.
