Next time

Departure

Level the wings with coordinated aileron to hold bank angle near zero during the initial climb, starting from 4.3°.

What happened: Bank angle was elevated during the initial climb and excess bank usually persists into the second climb segment.

Watch for: Attitude indicator, wings level with bank angle near zero degrees.

See Departure Climb 1Departure Climb 2

Arrival

Close the throttles further on final so you cross the threshold at 143 kt, removing the excess energy before the flare.

What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 150 kt, 7 kt above the 143 kt target, and the flare was not begun until 0.8 ft, well inside the normal flare band. Carrying excess speed that late into the approach usually leaves the flare started late and the touchdown arriving firm.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 143 kt at the threshold

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

The descent was from an altitude of 36,737 feet to 6,051 feet, a decrease of 30,686 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 134 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which began 1 mile south of 53IS Franklin Hospital Heliport in Benton, Illinois. This phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 21 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 1 mile south of Lockport in Illinois. The descent was from an altitude of 6,051 feet to 1,895 feet, a decrease of 4,156 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 04R at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport was from the southwest, with a heading of 44.0° at an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 5,287 feet. The threshold height was well above the target, while the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 151 knots.

The touchdown distance was good at 1,465 feet, with a touchdown speed of 151 knots, which was slightly fast. The touchdown rate was very heavy at -938 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 40 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 72°F and winds of 4 knots at 70°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots.

The total landing distance was 3,740 feet, which accounted for 71% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 40 feet from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 820 nautical miles, taking 128 minutes, and the aircraft used 12,792 pounds of fuel.

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.
