What went well

Touched down at -238 fpm — a soft arrival
Straight touchdown — 2.6 ft off the centreline, no bounce
1.15 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 0 %, Threshold height at 86 ft agl was significantly above target at 32 %, −1.75 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 2,391 ft at 70 %, −0.27 points
Departure Climb 3 — bank angle up to 7.4 ° at 86 %, −0.19 points

Next time

Departure

Use smooth aileron to roll the wings level in the first climb segment, holding bank angle near wings-level instead of letting it build to 4.3°.

What happened: The wings held 4.3° of bank through the first climb segment and had drifted to 4° by the second - this early wing-level drift usually carries through into a larger bank excursion later in the climb.

Watch for: Watch the attitude indicator's bank pointer and keep it at wings level throughout the climb.

See Departure Climb 1Departure Climb 2Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 21 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.

What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 21 ft down to touchdown.

Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 21 ft to touchdown.

See Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 22L at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,803 feet, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 17 knots at 190 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 14 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport and climbing from 1,738 feet above sea level to 17,002 feet above sea level, an increase of 15,264 feet in 7 minutes and covering 37 nautical miles.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 7 miles north of IN70 Bodin Airport Chesterton, Indiana. This cruise phase lasted 9 minutes and covered 57 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its first descent, starting 4 miles southeast of Hartford, Michigan, and descending from 16,341 feet above sea level to 6,076 feet above sea level, a decrease of 10,265 feet in 9 minutes and covering 45 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead MI82 Harry's Field Hudsonville, Michigan, and lasting 5 minutes, covering 18 nautical miles. A second descent phase followed, starting 1 mile east of Ravenna, Michigan, and descending from 5,936 feet above sea level to 2,610 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,326 feet in 3 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered a third level cruise phase, starting overhead 24M Wilderness Airpark Kent City, Michigan, and lasting 9 minutes, covering 20 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 17 at KGRR Gerald R. Ford International Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 171.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,298 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 17 was characterized by a touchdown point 1,036 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 142 knots, which was fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -191 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 149 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.

The total landing distance was 4,057 feet, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.

Landing on runway 17 at KGRR Gerald R. Ford International Airport in the Boeing 737-800
Landing Score 87.66 %
Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KGRR Gerald R. Ford International Airport, with a score of 87.7%. The final approach to runway 17 was initiated from the north, heading 171.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,298 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a significant deviation from the target threshold height, which was 86 feet agl, indicating that the aircraft was higher than expected at the threshold.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 142 knots, which was faster than the target speed. However, the touchdown rate of -191 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown point was located 1,036 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the target. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at touchdown.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from 149°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.

The total landing distance was 4,057 feet, which is 48% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, indicating that the aircraft may have been slowed down more than necessary before touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.

Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the aircraft's score of 87.7% indicates a good performance. The deviations from the target threshold height and touchdown speed were significant, but the touchdown rate and runway touchdown alignment were good. The local weather conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
