Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 01 at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (KDCA). The takeoff distance was 1,321 meters, which accounted for 60% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 156 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 320 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The aircraft climbed to a height of 32,236 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,216 feet from the initial altitude of 1,020 feet above sea level. This climb took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 89 nautical miles.

The enroute climb started again 2 miles south east of the WV62 Windwood Fly-In Resort Airport Davis, where the aircraft climbed from 32,226 feet to 33,635 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,410 feet in 2 minutes. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, lasting 16 minutes and covering 267 nautical miles, 5 miles south west of Parsons, West Virginia. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles north west of the II85 Blomenberg Airport Decatur, Indiana, where it descended from 33,336 feet to 5,933 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,403 feet in 15 minutes.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles, 1 mile north west of Wheeler, Indiana. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 2 miles south of East Chicago, Indiana, where it descended from 5,414 feet to 1,907 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,508 feet in 4 minutes. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 31C at Chicago Midway International Airport (KMDW), flying from the south east at a heading of 314.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,285 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 31C was successful, with a touchdown distance of 386 meters, which was 60% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 140 knots, but the touchdown rate was fair at -262 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 320 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 10 knots.

The total landing distance was 985 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 523 nautical miles, and the flight used 4,536 kilograms of fuel.

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.
