Low wing loading
- increases stalling speed, landing speed and the landing run.
- increases lift, stalling speed and overall maneuverability.
- decreases stalling speed, landing speed and landing run.
Explanation from PART66Online
Wing loading is weight per unit wing area; low wing loading means a large wing relative to weight, so the required lift is generated at a lower speed. This lowers the stalling speed and therefore the approach and landing speeds and shortens the landing run.

wing loading = loaded weight of aircraft / area of the wing.
