If you want to stay out of trouble use the factored distance at all times. Using the extra distance may just save you one day. It is just not worth the risk reducing safety margins.

All the short landings and records have been set generations ago, so there is no more room for heroes. The 1.67 is for the crew's and pax benefit.
