Wouldn't all these numbers change depending on how the plane is loaded? For example 25% fuel versus 100%.
:airplane: Yes, the weight of the aircraft would affect the glide distance of any aircraft!

ET is exactly right concerning all the variables that could potentially impact the numbers in the POH. 

The manufacturers do identify the loadout and altitudes that account for the numbers that were tested and published, so as pilots we can adjust them relative to the current environment.
