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

Landing Score 91.24 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 04R at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport, achieving a score of 91.2%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 43.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,089 feet above ground level (agl).

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 148 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed. The touchdown distance of 291 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -832 feet per minute (fpm) was deemed very heavy, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a significant deceleration upon touchdown.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.1 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 4°C, with a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 360°. The crosswind component was 11 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots.

The total landing distance of 1,214 meters was 75% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled path after touchdown.

Overall, while the landing was considered successful, there were some areas for improvement, including the high touchdown rate and slight misalignment from the centerline. However, the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance, and the runway rollout alignment was excellent.
