Correct re: takeoff data.

Incorrect re: landing data.
We use landing data tables about 95% of the time on the MD-11. Go in with your landing weight and you get an approximate landing distance based on final flaps, wet/dry runway and up to 10 knots of TW.

Certain situations preclude using the quick ref data like: high OAT, high altitude airport, low vis, runway conditions worse than wet or MEL restrictions on systems needed for landing. In these situations we are required to use the computer program normally used for takeoff data.
