Landing on runway 22L at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport in the Boeing 737-800

Landing Score 98.43 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Chicago Midway International Airport (KMDW) on runway 22L. The final approach was initiated from the northeast, heading 228.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 964 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach, achieving a score of 98.4%.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a threshold speed of 141 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown distance of 253 meters was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilots may have been able to make adjustments to reduce the speed before touchdown. The touchdown rate of -299 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing relatively smoothly.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.9 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C and winds of 12 knots from 280°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the touchdown position.

The total landing distance of 862 meters was 53% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to land smoothly and efficiently, with minimal loss of speed or control. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a stop safely.

Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-800 at Chicago Midway International Airport was a successful one, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
