Landing on runway 31C at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport in the Boeing 737-800

Landing Score 98.31 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Chicago Midway International Airport (KMDW) on runway 31C. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 314.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,285 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach, achieving a score of 98.3%.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 143 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 386 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 140 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a touchdown rate of -262 feet per minute (fpm), classified as fair.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.7 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°C, a wind speed of 10 knots from 320°, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and a 10-knot headwind.

The total landing distance of 985 meters was 60% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a stable and controlled deceleration.

Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing. However, there were some minor issues with touchdown speed and runway alignment, which may be addressed through further training or adjustments to the aircraft's performance.
