The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at Chicago Midway International Airport (KMDW) on runway 04R. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 43.0° at an altitude of 1,321 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was achieved at 144 knots, indicating a well-executed approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown speed of 137 knots and a touchdown rate of -170 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown distance of 409 meters was also within acceptable limits. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.0 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the approach procedure.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 100°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing, as the aircraft maintained a stable approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,140 meters was 71% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a stable and controlled rollout.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-MAX8 at KMDW was a success, with the aircraft performing well in terms of speed, distance, and alignment. The slight misalignment of the touchdown position was the only notable deviation from an ideal landing, but it did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall safety or performance of the aircraft.
