And the NON-NORMAL landing distance table says those distances assume max manual braking, we use max autobrake because then the brakes will be applied sooner after touchdown and take over manually straight after.
Is that really what your company suggests?
If it is SOP do you mind telling us what airline?
This comes out of our FCTM in the general NNC handling part

In the part specific for all flaps up landing they talk about AB being consistent with the runway, which in my opinion is dealt with by using manual braking.
It seems more logical to brake faster in the beginning and decreasing brake pressure when you are sure you can make it then it is to slam on the brakes in the end because something went wrong

I fly for a big european company
