Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,611 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 290 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 31R at KDAL Dallas Love Field, with a takeoff distance of 1,403 meters, which was 63% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 157 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 11°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 220°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 0 knots. After departing from Dallas Love Field, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile northwest of the airport and reached an altitude of 35,510 feet above sea level. The climb was a significant increase of 34,033 feet in just 15 minutes, covering a distance of 145 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles north of the 08AR Crittenden Regional Hospital Heliport in West Memphis, Arkansas. This phase lasted for 18 minutes and covered a distance of 417 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles southeast of Jerome, Illinois. The descent was a decrease of 33,725 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 153 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 22L at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport. The approach was from the northeast, with a heading of 223.0° at 3 nautical miles and 854 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 292 meters, which was 58% of the runway length. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 141 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -252 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.0 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were -7°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 250°, with a crosswind component of 2 knots and a headwind component of 5 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 722 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 63 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,990 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Chicago Midway International Airport (KMDW) on runway 22L. The final approach was initiated from the northeast, heading 223.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 854 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach, achieving a score of 94.3%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 146 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed range. However, the touchdown speed of 141 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed. The touchdown rate of -252 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more smoothly.
One notable aspect of the landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 13.0 meters. This deviation from the centerline 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 -7°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 250°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots.
The total landing distance of 927 meters was within the acceptable range, accounting for 58% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.7 meters from the centerline, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal path. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing.
