Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 36C at KMEM Memphis International Airport. The takeoff distance was 3,072 feet, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 147 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 69°F and winds of 4 knots at 50°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was also 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of KMEM Memphis International Airport and ascending from 1,368 feet above sea level to 33,144 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,776 feet in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 98 nautical miles.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles southeast of Alexander Field Hickman (6KY7) in Kentucky. This phase lasted for 24 minutes and covered a distance of 178 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles southwest of Assumption in Illinois and descending from 33,264 feet above sea level to 5,986 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,277 feet in 26 minutes and covering a distance of 118 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south of Franklin Hospital Heliport (53IS) in Illinois and lasted for 10 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase was initiated again, this time starting 2 miles southwest of Palos Park Airport (KQAB) in Illinois and descending from 5,983 feet above sea level to 2,420 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,563 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 04R at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 43.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,809 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 04R, which had a length of 5,287 feet. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 144 knots. The touchdown point was 454 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was very heavy at -721 feet per minute.

The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 40 feet from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 35 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 55°F and winds of 2 knots at 139°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 0 knots. The total landing distance was 3,963 feet, which accounted for 75% of the runway.

The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 440 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 99 minutes. The aircraft used 9,051 pounds of fuel during the flight.

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.
