Weight above MLW will obviously require greater landing distance because of higher Vls, in addition due to longer float and delay in braking requires additional distance.
The actual reply from Airbus quoted below:
The 'Overweight Ldg Proc' correction is for:
- A potential longer airborne phase in order to achieve the required max V/S at touchdown, and
- The delay in application of brakes until after Nose Landing Gear touchdown.
