78 - ATPL - At maximum certificated take-off mass an aeroplane departs from an airfield which is not limiting for either take-off or landing masses. During initial climb the number one engine suffers a contained disintegration. An emergency is declared and the aeroplane returns to departure airfield for an immediate landing. The most likely result of this action will be

A landing further along the runway than normal.
A high threshold speed and a shorter stop distance.
A landing short resultant from the increased angle of approach due to the very high aeroplane mass.
