Narrative:

Received message prior to takeoff to chicago O'hare that flight was overweight for landing at chicago. Maximum takeoff weight was to be 92500 pounds for a maximum landing weight in chicago of no more than 88060 pounds (afm). Loads informed crew that an overweight condition was present and takeoff was delayed. A passenger count was made, and current fuel on board was transmitted to 'loads.' subsequent calculations by 'loads' determined weight to be 92512 pounds, 12 pounds over maximum. A request by loads for an 'extra burn' concurrence from the captain was made. Captain approved 'extra burn' of 12 pounds and FMC load data was sent. (Landing at ord made below maximum landing weight.) I expected 'higher' V1 V2 numbers due to the higher weight and received the 'FMC data.' the 'numbers' were higher, data was reviewed, and takeoff was made. However, subsequent checks by crew found that speeds were '5 KTS' too high for weight and flap confign. Although conservative in nature, I should have closely checked FMC data.

Title: INCORRECT TKOF SPDS FOR WT FLAP CONFIGN. FMC DATA.

Narrative: RECEIVED MESSAGE PRIOR TO TKOF TO CHICAGO O'HARE THAT FLT WAS OVERWT FOR LNDG AT CHICAGO. MAX TKOF WT WAS TO BE 92500 LBS FOR A MAX LNDG WT IN CHICAGO OF NO MORE THAN 88060 LBS (AFM). LOADS INFORMED CREW THAT AN OVERWT CONDITION WAS PRESENT AND TKOF WAS DELAYED. A PAX COUNT WAS MADE, AND CURRENT FUEL ON BOARD WAS XMITTED TO 'LOADS.' SUBSEQUENT CALCULATIONS BY 'LOADS' DETERMINED WT TO BE 92512 LBS, 12 LBS OVER MAX. A REQUEST BY LOADS FOR AN 'EXTRA BURN' CONCURRENCE FROM THE CAPT WAS MADE. CAPT APPROVED 'EXTRA BURN' OF 12 LBS AND FMC LOAD DATA WAS SENT. (LNDG AT ORD MADE BELOW MAX LNDG WT.) I EXPECTED 'HIGHER' V1 V2 NUMBERS DUE TO THE HIGHER WT AND RECEIVED THE 'FMC DATA.' THE 'NUMBERS' WERE HIGHER, DATA WAS REVIEWED, AND TKOF WAS MADE. HOWEVER, SUBSEQUENT CHKS BY CREW FOUND THAT SPDS WERE '5 KTS' TOO HIGH FOR WT AND FLAP CONFIGN. ALTHOUGH CONSERVATIVE IN NATURE, I SHOULD HAVE CLOSELY CHKED FMC DATA.
