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

Landing Score 85.73 %

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 1,809 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft scored 85.7% in this landing, indicating a good overall performance.

The landing was executed with a threshold speed that was slightly above the target at 144 knots. This suggests that the pilot may have been slightly aggressive in their approach, but still managed to maintain control of the aircraft. The touchdown point was 454 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 131 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot had successfully slowed the aircraft down to a safe speed.

However, the touchdown rate was very heavy at -721 feet per minute (fpm), which is significantly higher than the recommended rate. This could be a concern as it may indicate that the pilot was not able to maintain a stable approach, or that the aircraft was not properly configured for landing. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 40 feet from the centreline, which could have contributed to the heavy touchdown rate.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 55°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 139°. This suggests that the wind was not a significant factor in the landing, and that the pilot should have been able to maintain control of the aircraft.

The total landing distance was 3,963 feet, which is 75% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, and may indicate that the pilot was not able to maintain a stable approach or that the aircraft was not properly configured for landing. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 35 feet from the centreline, which could have contributed to the long landing distance.

Overall, while the landing was successful, there are some areas for improvement. The pilot should work on maintaining a more stable approach and configuring the aircraft for a smoother touchdown. Additionally, the aircraft's performance should be reviewed to ensure that it is properly configured for landing.
