Landing on runway 04R at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport in the Boeing 737-800

Landing Score 98.68 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Chicago Midway International Airport (KMDW) on runway 04R. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 43.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 147 kt, registering at 148 kt. However, the touchdown point was 502 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 140 kt was also a bit faster than the ideal speed, but the touchdown rate of -140 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 55°F and a gentle wind of 8 kt at 9°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 kt, while the headwind component was 7 kt, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable. The runway length of 5,287 feet was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance, which was 3,531 feet, or 67% of the runway.

The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing the aircraft to come to a stop without any issues. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 98.7%. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and point, which can be addressed through further training and practice.
