Landing on runway 31C at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport in the Boeing 737-MAX8

Landing Score 98.51 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-MAX8 touched down on runway 31C at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing the crew to maintain a stable approach profile. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 150 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach speed. The aircraft's descent was controlled, with a touchdown distance of 382 m, which was within acceptable limits.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was a little fast at 144 kt, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -330 fpm. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 m from the centreline, which may have been due to the crosswind component of 13 kt. Despite this, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 9 °C and wind at 18 kt at 360 °, did not significantly impact the approach or landing. The total landing distance of 1,052 m was 64% of the runway length, indicating a controlled rollout.

The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a stable path along the centreline. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 98.5%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal approach and landing parameters, the crew's skills and the aircraft's performance ensured a safe and controlled touchdown.
