The Piper PA-24 Comanche taxied to runway 22L at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport and commenced the departure roll. The aircraft lifted off after a takeoff distance of 141 m, representing 8 % of the runway, at a liftoff speed of 62 kt. Ambient conditions were 26 °C with a wind of 7 kt from 233°, providing a 6 kt headwind component and a 1 kt cross-wind component.
During the en-route climb the airplane departed the vicinity of KMDW and ascended from 894 ft asl to 2,719 ft asl, a gain of 1,825 ft achieved in 3 minutes while covering 4 nm.
The level cruise segment began still overhead KMDW and continued for 12 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 22 nm.
For the final approach the Comanche was aligned with runway 10L at KORD Chicago O’Hare International Airport, approaching from the west on a heading of 90.0° at 3 nm and 1,448 ft agl. Weather at KORD was 26 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 246°, giving a 2 kt cross-wind and a 4 kt tail-wind component.
Landing was executed on runway 10L, whose length is 3,953 m. The threshold height of 76 ft agl was above the target, and the threshold speed of 74 kt was slightly above the target. Touchdown occurred 350 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a speed of 59 kt, a smooth descent rate of minus 140 fpm, and a lateral deviation of 8.6 m from the centreline.
In total the flight covered 30 nm, required 25 minutes, and consumed 16 kg of fuel.

The final approach to runway 10L at KORD was flown from the west on a heading of 90.0° at 3 NM and 1,448 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as stabilised, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
During the threshold and flare phase the threshold height of 76 ft agl was well above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 74 kt.
Touchdown occurred 350 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 59 kt, described as fast, and a smooth vertical rate of -140 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 8.6 m from the centreline.
To refine the performance, aim to touch down nearer the 300 m (1,000 ft) aim point and reduce the touchdown speed to the target value, while maintaining centreline alignment within a few metres.
