Just my thoughts on the 737 average landing distance - it's unrealistic.
To be more specific, 737-800s can definitly operate into airports with rwys down to 5500 feet with large payloads.
Now obviously there can be specific carriers using specific configurations for their aircraft, but I think the 737s need to be altered
to be able to land down to at least 5500 feet, maybe excluding the 739s. Just my thoughts anyone agree?

Here are some sources for my info also

I wouldn't trust PPR forum too much, the world and his wife can comment on it - Here's a source I'd use that gives a 737-800 MTOW take off distance of 2652m (or 8,700 ft).
