Landing on runway 04R at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport in the Boeing 737-800

Landing Score 98.17 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Chicago Midway International Airport (KMDW) on runway 04R. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 44.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach, achieving a score of 98.2%.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 139 kt, which was slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 148 kt. However, the touchdown distance of 353 meters was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -291 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.9 meters, which may require some adjustments in the aircraft's approach path. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C and a gentle headwind of 3 kt from a direction of 40°. The crosswind component was negligible, with a speed of 0 kt.

The total landing distance of 953 meters was 59% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and touchdown rate.
