Top opportunity

Avoid steep turns at low altitude

Departure Climb 3

Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 09L at Philadelphia International Airport (KPHL). The takeoff distance was 3,343 feet, which was 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 24°F and a wind speed of 23 knots from a direction of 0°. This resulted in a crosswind of 22 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead KPHL, rising from an altitude of 1,086 feet above sea level to 37,994 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,908 feet, in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 128 nautical miles.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles south east of Spring Mills, Pennsylvania, and lasted for 42 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 311 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 4 miles west of Ridgeville Corners, Ohio, and descending from 37,992 feet above sea level to 6,001 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,991 feet, in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 128 nautical miles.

The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 1 mile north west of Wheeler, Indiana, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile south west of Gary, Indiana, and descending from 5,993 feet above sea level to 1,853 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,141 feet, in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 17 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 31C at Chicago Midway International Airport (KMDW) was made from the south east, with a heading of 314.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,235 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 126 knots and a touchdown rate of -171 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 1,240 feet, which was good considering the runway length of 5,363 feet.

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 a direction of 320°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 9 knots. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 16 feet from the centreline. The total landing distance was 2,929 feet, which was 55% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.

The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 600 nautical miles, taking a total of 108 minutes, and the aircraft used 9,133 pounds of fuel during the flight.

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.
