The Boeing 737-800 has successfully landed on runway 22L at Chicago Midway International Airport (KMDW). The approach began from a northeastern direction at a heading of 223.0°, with an altitude of 889 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the airport.
Upon final approach, the aircraft scored a high 99.6% mark, indicating a precise and controlled descent. The landing speed was good, achieving the threshold speed of 144 knots. The touchdown distance of 389 meters fell within acceptable limits, showcasing the pilot's expertise in managing the aircraft's descent velocity.
However, there was a slight issue with the touchdown speed, coming in at 139 knots, which is slightly higher than optimal. This may be attributed to factors such as wind or crew decisions to manage the aircraft's approach speed. Additionally, the touchdown rate of -258 feet per minute (fpm) is considered fair, suggesting a slightly steeper than ideal rate of descent.
Despite these minor deviations from optimal performance, the landing was largely successful, with the runway touchdown alignment being very good. The pilots expertly managed the aircraft's approach to ensure a smooth touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were mild, with a temperature of 21°C and a moderate headwind of 9 knots from the northwest. A light crosswind of 2 knots was also present, but the overall effect was a strong headwind of 9 knots, which the pilots likely took into account when planning the approach.
In terms of the landing rollout, the aircraft's alignment was perfect, reflecting the pilots' skill in maintaining control of the aircraft following touchdown. The total landing distance of 933 meters, which accounts for 58% of the runway length, suggests a relatively short rollout. Overall, the landing was a success, with minor areas for improvement identified for future approaches.
