Landing Score 99.5 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed on runway 31C at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 314.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,261 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with a high degree of accuracy, as evident from the subsequent landing performance.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 142 knots was also within the acceptable range, signifying that the pilots had properly managed the aircraft's speed during the final stages of the approach. The touchdown distance of 361 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilots had successfully controlled the aircraft's descent and speed.

However, the touchdown rate of -266 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilots could have maintained a more stable and controlled descent. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 280°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. Despite these challenging weather conditions, the pilots successfully managed the aircraft's approach and landing.

The total landing distance of 997 meters was 61% of the runway length, indicating that the pilots had successfully controlled the aircraft's speed and descent during the landing. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating that the pilots had successfully maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase.

Overall, the Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft's landing on runway 31C at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport was a success, with the pilots demonstrating a high level of skill and precision in managing the aircraft's approach and landing.
