Departing from the United States, the Airbus A321 initiated its enroute climb from a point 1 mile south east of Elkridge, Maryland, at an altitude of 1,140 feet above sea level. The aircraft successfully transitioned to a higher altitude, reaching 34,005 feet above sea level in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 151 nautical miles. This marked the end of the initial climb phase, and the aircraft entered a prolonged enroute level cruise phase, which began 4 miles north of Durbin, West Virginia. During this phase, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude for 380 minutes, covering a significant distance of 1,805 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it initiated its enroute descent from a point 12 miles north west of Los Algodones, Mexico, at an altitude of 33,521 feet above sea level. The descent was completed in 24 minutes, with the aircraft covering a distance of 127 nautical miles and reducing its altitude to 2,008 feet above sea level. Following the descent, the aircraft entered a brief enroute level cruise phase, lasting 10 minutes, as it flew 2 miles south east of KMYF Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport in San Diego, California. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 09 at KSAN San Diego International Airport, aligning itself with the runway from the west at a heading of 106.0°.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 09, with a total landing distance of 4,250 feet, accounting for 62% of the runway length. The touchdown point was 525 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was slightly higher than optimal at 132 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -336 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 49 feet from the centreline. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,116 nautical miles, and the aircraft consumed 33,421 pounds of fuel during the flight, which lasted a total of 339 minutes.

The aircraft touched down on runway 09 at KSAN San Diego International Airport, a 6,871-foot-long runway, after a final approach from the west. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 140 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was located 525 feet beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slightly long touchdown. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was a bit faster than the recommended speed, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -336 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was not perfectly aligned with the centreline, deviating by 49 feet. This misalignment was also observed during the rollout phase, where the aircraft was 52 feet off-centreline. The total landing distance of 4,250 feet was 62% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 72°F and a 7-knot headwind from 200°, did not significantly impact the landing.
Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 88.8%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown and rollout alignment, the aircraft's performance was generally good, and the pilot's skills were demonstrated in maintaining control throughout the landing.
