Landing on runway 31C at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport in the Boeing 737-800

Landing Score 97.64 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Chicago Midway International Airport (KMDW) on runway 31C. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 314.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,235 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach, achieving a score of 97.6%.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 126 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed of 133 knots. The touchdown distance of 1,240 feet was also within the expected range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -171 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory, demonstrating a gentle and stable touchdown.

However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft landing 16 feet off the centerline. This minor misalignment did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23°F and a wind speed of 9 knots from 320°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 9 knots, which likely contributed to the smooth landing.

The total landing distance of 2,929 feet was 55% of the available runway length of 5,363 feet. This indicates that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for a safe stop, even in the event of an unexpected deceleration. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.

Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-800 at KMDW was a successful and well-executed operation, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
