My outfit (major EASA operator) requests a performance assessment of the landing distance at time of arrival, however clearly states in the OM that "assessment" does not necessarily mean a performance calculation/computation if the landing performance is not to be considered limiting and the calculation may be replaced by flight crew judgement/knowledge of the landing performance.

Personally I like the pragmatic and common sense approach and for me it works well during line ops. Most of the colleagues won't do a computation on non-restricting 3000-4000m runways dry / wet. However almost all go for it on shortish runways (even at homebase) and on contaminated.

Same EASA ruleset - different interpretation and application by the operator and competent authority than above. What is called "cutting the corners" and not following the rules in the posts above is considered normal here legally approved. No offense, but I wanted to show that not every operator treats the issue in the same way.
