See Arrival Final 2
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,611 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 391 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 26L at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,488 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 219 degrees. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was also 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead College Park, Georgia. The climb took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 126 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 2,090 feet above sea level to 38,077 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,987 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles east of TN66 Austin Field Pikeville, Tennessee. This phase lasted for 24 minutes and covered a distance of 157 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its first descent, which started overhead Green Spring, Kentucky. The descent took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 24 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 37,764 feet above sea level to 35,012 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,752 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles east of II69 Harrod/Rose Airport Scottsburg, Indiana. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 24 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its second descent, which started 6 miles northwest of Country Squire Lakes, Indiana. The descent took 33 minutes and covered a distance of 178 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 34,749 feet above sea level to 3,337 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,413 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 11 miles northeast of South Chicago, Illinois. This phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 16 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 22L at Chicago Midway International Airport, which was located to the northeast. The final approach took place at an altitude of 937 feet above ground level and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 22L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 392 meters and a touchdown speed of 117 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -300 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.9 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 170 degrees. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,061 meters, which accounted for 66% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 533 nautical miles, which was covered in 104 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3,953 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
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 224.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 937 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was achieved at 125 knots, indicating a well-executed approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good touchdown distance of 392 meters, which is within the expected range for a Boeing 737-800. The touchdown speed of 117 knots was also within the acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -300 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots from 170°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing, as the aircraft maintained a stable approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,061 meters was 66% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot executed a well-planned and controlled approach, taking into account the aircraft's performance characteristics and the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-800 at Chicago Midway International Airport was successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good performance and control throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
