I think that depends on the pilot - an aircraft will get out according to the book figures, give or take various fudge factors, and all you have to do is start in the right place, which is easy enough to taxi to, and use the book technique.
Getting in is another matter. Yes, if you touch down at exactly the right spot at the right vertical and horizontal speeds etc it'll behave as per the book (give or take the fudge factors again), but this is rather more reliant on the pilot's ability to arrive at exact the right spot at exactly the right speed - arrive with a bit too much energy and it doesn't matter what it says in the book.
