Narrative:
Because of a medical emergency and on the advice of a medical doctor concerning a passenger, I chose to land a B-757 at psc without landing data for the airport. However, the 'operational data manual' for the B-757 illustrates that the landing was legal for the aircraft gross weight, length of runway available and existing WX conditions.
