The Boeing 777F departed from runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport. Takeoff was performed after a roll of 374 m, which is 10 % of the runway length. Liftoff occurred at 144 kt. The local weather at departure was temperature 33 °C with wind 10 kt from 271°, giving a 3 kt cross-wind and a 9 kt head-wind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 18 seconds, averaging 2,239 fpm and reaching 174 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 959 ft asl to 1,535 ft asl in 1 minute while covering 4 nm, remaining overhead Auckland. Level flight was held at 1,500 ft asl for 4 minutes, covering 12 nm, beginning about 3 nm south of the airport.

During final approach to runway 23L, descent was from 1,363 ft agl to 61 ft agl in 93 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, speed, and wings level; the check for centreline was not met at one gate.

Landing was made on runway 23L, whose length is 3,671 m. The threshold speed was well above target at 158 kt. The flare was described as very good; the aircraft dropped onto the runway at the end of the flare. Touchdown occurred 358 m beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 142 kt, which was a little fast, with a hard touchdown rate of minus 412 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 3.3 m from the centreline. No bounce occurred. Runway rollout alignment was very good and the total landing distance was 1,289 m, 35 % of the runway.

The flight covered 20 nm in 7 minutes and used 1,660 kg of fuel. The local weather at landing matched the departure conditions: temperature 33 °C, wind 10 kt from 271°, cross-wind 3 kt, head-wind 9 kt.
