you've got 2 different types of landing distances in your tables.

1. required landing distance: that's the minimum distance you must have for a normal landing (or for a landing without a problem concerning landing distance). it takes into account the 1.6 factor and is factored for a normal pilot (ie not a test pilot crashing the a/c on the landing marks)

2. landing distance: it's the effective distance of your landing and must be used only if you have a failure concerning the landing distance (flap fault, brake system fault, etc...). this distance is measured by a test pilot who's only objective is to minimise it (landing on the marks at exactly the right speed and braking asap)

in your case this second distance would be used in the LDG DIST Procedure Apply.

hope it helps
