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

Landing Score 99.42 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Chicago Midway International Airport (KMDW) on runway 04R. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 44.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,287 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft achieved a high score of 99.4% for this landing, indicating a very successful and controlled approach.

The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also within the acceptable range at 146 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 143 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -267 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown distance of 222 meters was also within the acceptable range.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.3 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -2°C and a light wind of 2 knots from a direction of 110°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot.

The total landing distance of 871 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was brought to a stop within a short distance from the runway threshold. However, there were some minor deviations from the desired touchdown speed and runway alignment, which may be addressed in future training exercises to further improve the pilot's skills and performance.
