How will the use of higher flap setting (than usual) influence the length of the take-off run

1. It has no effect on the length of the take-off run
2. All the answers are wrong
3. ✓Reducing the length of the take-off runCorrect answer
4. Increasing the length of the take-off run

Explanation

Extending flaps increases the camber of the wing, which increases the Maximum Lift Coefficient (CLmax).
