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

Landing Score 99.75 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 04R at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, with a heading of 44.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with a high degree of accuracy, as evidenced by the perfect runway touchdown alignment.

Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a safe distance from the runway threshold. The threshold speed of 138 knots was also within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilots had a good understanding of the aircraft's speed and control. The touchdown distance of 258 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilots had sufficient control to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance.

The touchdown speed of 134 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilots had a good understanding of the aircraft's speed and control. However, the touchdown rate of -212 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilots may have been able to improve their control and reduce the rate of descent. Despite this, the overall landing was considered good, with the aircraft coming to rest on the runway in a safe and controlled manner.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 40°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 12 knots, which the pilots successfully managed during the landing. The total landing distance of 879 meters was 55% of the runway length, indicating that the pilots had sufficient control to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance.

The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots had a good understanding of the aircraft's control and were able to maintain a straight course during the rollout. Overall, the landing was considered a success, with the pilots demonstrating a high level of skill and control during the approach and landing.
