The flight began with a quick taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then took off from runway 29 at OAKB Kabul International Airport, reaching a liftoff speed of 148 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 1 knot at 270 degrees, and a crosswind of 0 knots with a headwind of 1 knot.

As the aircraft climbed out of Kabul, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 6,892 feet above sea level to 33,953 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,060 feet in just 10 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 39 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude of 33,953 feet above sea level for 12 minutes as it covered a distance of 89 nautical miles.

The enroute descent phase began 1 mile northeast of Qulukh Shah, where the aircraft descended from 34,001 feet above sea level to 7,611 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,390 feet in 14 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 88 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time lasting only 2 minutes as it covered a distance of 7 nautical miles.

The final descent phase began 29 miles northeast of Kandahar, where the aircraft descended from 7,615 feet above sea level to 5,317 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,298 feet in just 5 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 21 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a series of short level cruise phases, each lasting only a few minutes as it covered short distances.

The final approach to runway 23 at OAKN Ahmad Shah Baba International Airport / Kandahar Airfield was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 234.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,289 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 23, which had a length of 3,204 meters. The threshold height at 60 feet above ground level was slightly above target, while the threshold speed was well above target at 150 knots.

The touchdown distance was good at 407 meters, but the touchdown speed of 144 knots was fast, and the touchdown rate was very heavy at -771 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 1 knot at 270 degrees, and a crosswind of 1 knot with a headwind of 1 knot.

The total landing distance was 1,047 meters, which was 33% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing process from the runway to the parking area took 11 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 264 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 61 minutes. The aircraft used 1,179 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
