Not sure if this is what you refer to...

We use 1000ft flare distance for dispatch calculations. Story is it allows for a slight increase in dispatcheable max payload in certain conditions (as I understood better ACMI capability on certain destinations?). The enroute (advisory) calculations keep1500ft flare distance. Back in the day when the change was made, instructors were made aware, but no specific training was done as we had procedures that required to recheck landing performance enroute (1500ft flare).
