Landing on runway 22L at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 90.83 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 22L at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport, achieving a score of 90.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 220.0° at 3 nautical miles and 857 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 136 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was 99 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 122 knots was good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing process.

The touchdown rate of -405 feet per minute (fpm) was considered hard, which may indicate that the pilot could have applied a smoother touchdown. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.0 meters from the centerline, but the rollout alignment was very good.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 8 knots at 290°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing, as the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft.

The total landing distance of 1,329 meters was 82% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently, despite the hard touchdown rate. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and landing phases.
