Next time

Avoid steep turns at low altitude

See Departure Climb 3

Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

Landing on runway 27C at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport in the Boeing 737-800
Landing Score 97.3 %
Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport on runway 27C, achieving a high score of 97.3%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was well above the target at 143 knots.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 218 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the ideal landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was a bit faster than desired, indicating that the pilots may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -373 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft's wheels made contact with the runway with a moderate amount of force.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 19°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from 269°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 7 knots, which likely contributed to the firm touchdown rate.

The total landing distance of 4,744 feet was 45% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and brought it to a stop in a stable and aligned manner. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilots demonstrating good skills and judgment in executing a safe and efficient landing at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport.
