Midway Airport (MDW) Arrivals to
Runway 22L and VFR Aircraft

During times when MDW arrivals are landing on runway 22L, MDW arrivals will cross the Lake Michigan shoreline (from Navy Pier to Gary/Chicago Int’l airport) between 3,000 feet and 2,400 feet, inbound to runway 22L. When transitioning the Chicago Metropolitan area along the Lake Michigan shoreline, VFR aircraft are advised that lower altitudes are strongly suggested.
