The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 31L at KSAT San Antonio International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,134 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 145 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 10 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of KSAT San Antonio International Airport, and climbed from an altitude of 1,868 feet above sea level to 37,536 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,668 feet, in 12 minutes and covering 122 nautical miles.

After reaching the desired cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 9 miles northwest of KGOP Gatesville Municipal Airport. This phase of the flight lasted 22 minutes and covered 615 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 5 miles north of 4LL6 Nelson Weber Modesto, and descended from 37,377 feet above sea level to 5,851 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,526 feet, in 13 minutes and covering 144 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile east of KJOT Joliet Regional Airport, and lasted 6 minutes, covering 27 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Burnham, and descended from 4,842 feet above sea level to 1,881 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,960 feet, in 3 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 31C at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport was from the southeast, with a heading of 314.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,263 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 31C was successful, with a good threshold height, threshold speed, and touchdown distance. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 135 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -327 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -12 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 320 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,031 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 922 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 64 minutes.

Landing on runway 31C at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport in the Boeing 737-700

Landing Score 98.86 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-700 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 1,263 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was likely conducted under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) given the low temperature of -12°C and the presence of wind.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a safe altitude before touching down on the runway. The threshold speed of 138 knots was also within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilots had properly configured the aircraft for landing. However, the touchdown speed of 135 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate.

The touchdown rate of -327 feet per minute (fpm) was indeed firm, but this is not necessarily a cause for concern, as it is within the acceptable range for a Boeing 737-700. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots had maintained a stable and aligned approach path. The local weather conditions, including a temperature of -12°C and a headwind of 6 knots, did not appear to significantly impact the landing.

The total landing distance of 1,031 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. This suggests that the pilots had properly configured the aircraft for landing and had maintained a stable approach path. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-700 on runway 31C at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of precision and control. The pilots' ability to maintain a stable approach path, configure the aircraft for landing, and control the aircraft during the rollout phase resulted in a safe and efficient landing.
