The reference landing distance is a reference distance from 50 ft above the threshold to stop based on a reference landing weight….

”Mr. Boeing” also said the MAX was a safe airplane. He’s a shifty SOB, I don’t know if I’d take him at his word.

38 years on 737 as it morphed from the -100 through the MAX-9 and future -10, with magical STCs, I’d take Boeing at their word when it comes to landing performance… just saying.

And that's the factored landing distance as well. So if the book says 5990ft, in reality you use a lot less.
