Update of ZFW in flight

Hi

Is it advisable to update the ZFW inflight to bring the AUW value to the GWFK weight ? ( especially if the Commercial Figure is significantly LOWER than the FAC computed weight).

I have found that on days where the FAC read out is higher (approximately 1.5 tons higher than the trim sheet figure), the aircraft squats immediately on Flare. Not sure if this is due to the weight difference. (this observation is made considering a 'stable'

stabilised approach)
