Default Part 135 and the 60% and 1.67 rules…etc

Our planned landing distance must be within 60% of landing distance available, does this planned landing distance include only the AFM distance or the 1.67 distance?

AFM Landing Distance - 2500'
EX: 6000' x .60 = 3600' (60% of 6000 is 3600')
Our AFM distance of 2500' is less than 3600' (60% rule) we are legal to land.

OR

AFM Landing Distance - 2500'
EX: 6000' x .60 = 3600' (60% of 6000 is 3600')
The difference this time is I take 2500' x 1.67 = 4175'
The 4175 exceeds the 60% rule and we cannot land on that runway.

So, my question is, does the 60% rule use the AFM distance OR the 1.67 distance?
