Landing on runway 13C at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport in the Boeing 737-800

Landing Score 98.48 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 13C at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft's final approach was initiated from the northwest, heading 132.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,032 feet above ground level (agl).

The pilot's control of the aircraft during the final approach was impressive, with a good threshold height and speed of 143 knots. This indicates that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent, aligning the aircraft with the runway threshold. The touchdown distance of 408 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and altitude during the landing.

However, the touchdown speed of 137 knots was slightly faster than recommended, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate of -317 feet per minute (fpm). While this is not necessarily a cause for concern, it does suggest that the pilot may have been able to make some adjustments to the approach to achieve a smoother touchdown.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 33°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from 120°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 10 knots, which the pilot was able to effectively manage during the landing. The total landing distance of 1,010 meters was 62% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance.

The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, and highlights the importance of careful planning and execution in achieving a safe and successful landing.
