Top opportunity

Avoid steep turns at low altitude

Departure Climb 3

Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 01 at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (KDCA). The takeoff distance was 1,433 meters, which was 65% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 158 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 110 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the Washington Potomac Washington (District of Columbia, United States) area. The climb took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 122 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,052 feet above sea level to 36,927 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,875 feet.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 7 miles east of the Lazy J Aerodrome Beverly (West Virginia, United States). This phase lasted for 12 minutes and covered a distance of 275 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles northeast of the Smith Airport St. Paul (Indiana, United States). The descent took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 161 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 37,150 feet above sea level to 4,758 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,392 feet.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile south of Tinley Park (Illinois, United States). This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile northeast of Homer Glen (Illinois, United States). The descent took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 4,356 feet above sea level to 2,167 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,189 feet.

The aircraft then entered a final level cruise phase, starting overhead Western Springs (Illinois, United States). This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 13C at Chicago Midway International Airport (KMDW), approaching from the northwest at a heading of 132.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,032 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 13C was successful, with a touchdown distance of 408 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 137 knots, but the touchdown rate was firm at -317 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 120 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,010 meters, which was 62% of the runway length. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 588 nautical miles, and the flight took 63 minutes. The aircraft used 4,803 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

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.
