Landing distances in POH

Understood, thanks.

These tables seem to be flawed to me to be honest, because they only give you half the picture.

All very well to for example adjust LDR by 10% for each 13 kts of wind but, but when deciding if you can safely land somewhere other factors not taken into account here are even more significant, e.g. weight, speed

Most of us have become very believing in these POHs over the years. But let‘s not forget that they are the product of lawyers and engineers. Not a good mix at all…

Seriously, what has to be remembered is that anything which isn‘t in the POH section „Operating Limitations“ is not, well, an operating limitation.

Of course, after there is an accident, people will start digging into all sections of the POH and find „things“, but that‘s an entirely different story…
