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

Landing Score 83.01 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 04R at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport, but the landing was not without some notable issues. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the southwest, heading 44.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,274 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed at a speed that was slightly above the target threshold speed of 150 knots, reaching 151 kt.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 1,465 feet, but the touchdown speed was slightly faster than desired at 151 kt. However, the touchdown rate was a major concern, coming in at a very heavy -938 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down with a significant amount of force, which could potentially put additional stress on the landing gear and other aircraft components.

Another issue with the landing was the runway touchdown position, which was misaligned by 40 feet from the centreline. This could have been due to a variety of factors, including wind shear, pilot error, or a combination of both. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 4 kt at 70°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, while the headwind component was 4 kt.

The total landing distance was 3,740 feet, which is 71% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, but it could have been shorter if the aircraft had touched down closer to the centreline. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 40 feet from the centreline, which could have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown position.

Overall, while the Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 04R at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport, there were some notable issues with the landing that need to be addressed. The high touchdown rate, misaligned touchdown position, and slightly fast touchdown speed all indicate that the pilots may need to adjust their approach and landing techniques to improve the overall safety and efficiency of the landing.
