Overloading has the following effects on performance:
  • A
    Increased take off and landing distance, increased rate of climb and increased fuel consumption
  • B
    Reduced take off and landing distance, increased VNE and increased fuel consumption
  • C
    Reduced take off and landing distance, increased VNE and reduced rate of climb
  • D
    Increased take off and landing distance, reduced rate of climb and increased fuel consumption
Excessive weight in itself reduces the safety margins available to the pilot,

and becomes even more hazardous when other performance-reducing factors are combined with overweight.

Heavier airplane consume more fuel, and need longer distance for takeoff and landing,
more over that the climb performance is reduced, if airplane becomes overloaded that puts it in risk.

Correct Answer: Increased takeoff and landing distance, reduced rate of climb and increased fuel consumption.
