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

Landing Score 97.76 %

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 1,270 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed of 151 knots, registering at 151 kt. However, the touchdown distance of 325 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 148 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -184 feet per minute (fpm) was within acceptable limits.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.9 meters, which may require some adjustments during the landing roll. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 300°. The crosswind component was 9 kt, while the tailwind component was 2 kt, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed.

The total landing distance of 1,027 meters was 64% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll and was able to align the aircraft with the centerline of the runway.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and maintaining control throughout the landing roll. However, there were some minor deviations from the target speeds and touchdown position, which may require some adjustments during future landings.
