Is the distance used on a dry runway from the crossing of the runway threshold at 50 ft until full stop using maximum manual breaking with no reverse .

What is the RLD ( required landing distance )?

It’s an ALD ( actual landing distance ) factored for 2 runway condition wet or dry . 

For calculating the RLD for wet = ALD x 1.15 

RLD Dry = ALD x 1.67
