For overweight landings, which actions are required?

• A. The Captain should make an entry in the aircraft Maintenance Log (MX-3)
• B. The Captain should submit FCIR
• C. The Flight Crew should comply with the procedures in the QRH and FCOM
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

When a landing is overweight, you must address safety, reporting, and adherence to published procedures. The Captain should log the event in the aircraft Maintenance Log (MX-3) so maintenance can inspect for any potential damage or wear and so the incident is properly tracked. The Captain should also submit a Flight Crew Information Request (FCIR) to ensure the event is reviewed by operations/engineering and to document any company actions or restrictions that result. In parallel, the flight crew must follow the procedures laid out in the QRH and FCOM, using the approved non-normal/normal procedures, performance data, and limitations to manage the situation safely. Since these steps serve different but essential purposes—documentation, formal reporting, and standardized operational response—all of them are required.
