Landing on runway 22L at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport in the Boeing 737-800

Landing Score 94.3 %

Landing Summary

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.
