The flight began with taxiing from the parking spot to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a very short distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then took off from runway 08R at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL), which is a major international airport. During takeoff, the aircraft reached a liftoff speed of 164 knots, covering 55% of the runway and utilizing a total distance of 1,664 meters. Local weather conditions at the time of takeoff consisted of a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 8 knots from a direction of 90 degrees.

After departure, the enroute climb started as the aircraft flew over Hapeville, Georgia. The aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 2,034 feet above sea level to a final cruising altitude of 38,877 feet, a total increase of 36,844 feet in just 14 minutes and covering 134 nautical miles.

Once cruising at a high altitude, the enroute level cruise lasted for 10 minutes, during which the aircraft covered an additional 220 nautical miles. However, the flight was not without multiple segments of descent and level flight. Enroute descent started 1 mile south of Fairland, Indiana, during which the aircraft descended to a lower altitude of 38,740 feet. From there, a brief enroute level cruise of 2 minutes commenced 6 miles north east of Kenwood, Illinois, during which the aircraft covered just 6 nautical miles.

Following this brief cruise, enroute descent started again, this time initiated over KCGX Chicago Meigs Airport, where the aircraft descended to an altitude of 3,028 feet. A descent to a lower altitude then began, this time resulting in a final altitude of 1,601 feet above sea level over KCGX. The aircraft then executed a final descent to prepare for landing.

The flight's final approach to runway 22L at Chicago Midway International Airport (KMDW) was from a northeasterly direction, along a heading of 224.0 degrees at an altitude of 981 feet above ground level and 3 nautical miles from the runway. However, due to certain factors, the pilot initiated a go-around at an altitude of 59 feet above ground level, indicating a need for a more controlled approach. This maneuver was followed by a second attempt at landing on runway 22L.

Upon the aircraft's successful landing on runway 22L, the pilot evaluated the performance of the aircraft, taking note of various parameters such as speed, distance, and touchdown rate. The touchdown speed was assessed as being a little fast, at 132 knots, while the touchdown distance was measured as being good at 227 meters. The runway rollout alignment was also evaluated as being very good. Local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a relatively calm wind of 4 knots from a direction of 140 degrees.

The total landing distance was measured at 967 meters, which is equivalent to 60% of the runway's length. The taxiing to the parking spot after landing took another 4 minutes and covered a similar short distance of less than 1 nautical mile. Overall, the total flight distance was 532 nautical miles, which was covered in a flight time of 68 minutes and utilized an estimated 4,256 kg of fuel.

Landing on runway 22L at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 98.85 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed at Chicago Midway International Airport (KMDW) on runway 22L, showcasing a high level of pilot skill and precision. With a final approach heading of 224.0° from the northeast at 3 nautical miles and 981 feet above ground level (AGL), the aircraft maintained a stable trajectory throughout the descent.

The touchdown height and speed were considered good, with the threshold speed being 136 knots, just above the ideal. The aircraft then touched down on the runway at a speed of 132 knots, slightly above the desired threshold speed. However, despite the slightly higher touchdown speed, the landing was well-executed, with the touchdown distance being within acceptable limits at 227 meters.

During the landing, the pilot maintained a firm touchdown rate of -325 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent and minimal impact on the landing gear. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, showcasing the pilot's expertise in positioning the aircraft for a precise landing.

Weather conditions were favorable at the time of the landing, with a temperature of 22°C and winds of 4 knots from a direction of 140°, equivalent to a headwind of 0 knots and a crosswind of 4 knots. The minimal wind conditions played a significant role in the smooth execution of the landing.

The total landing distance was 967 meters, which accounts for 60% of the runway length. This is well within the acceptable limits for an Airbus A320 aircraft, indicating that the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's descent and touchdown.

In the post-landing analysis, the Airbus A320's performance was deemed satisfactory, with only the slight excess in touchdown speed being noted. Nonetheless, the overall execution of the landing was impressive, showcasing the pilot's skill and expertise in handling the aircraft. The runway rollout alignment was also reported to be very good, indicating a smooth transition from the touchdown to the rollout phase.
