Departing from Princess Juliana International Airport in Saint Martin, the Airbus A350-900 initiated its enroute climb, rapidly ascending from an initial altitude of 4,260 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 38,000 feet in a mere 20 minutes, covering a distance of 138 nautical miles. This marked the beginning of a prolonged enroute level cruise phase, which lasted for 364 minutes and spanned an impressive 2,990 nautical miles. The aircraft's efficient climb and cruise performance allowed it to maintain a steady pace, taking full advantage of the favorable winds and atmospheric conditions.
As the flight progressed, the crew initiated the enroute descent phase, commencing the gradual descent from 38,000 feet to 3,192 feet above sea level over a distance of 279 nautical miles in 31 minutes. This marked the final leg of the journey, with the aircraft preparing for its approach to Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport. The final approach was conducted from the southeast, with the aircraft aligning itself with runway 32R at a height of 1,233 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the threshold. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 132 knots, a touchdown distance of 210 meters, and a touchdown speed of 131 knots, although the touchdown rate was slightly higher than desired at -408 feet per minute.
The Airbus A350-900 touched down on runway 32R, with the total landing distance covering 60% of the 3,000-meter runway. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned from the centerline by 17.9 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 20.5 meters. Despite these minor deviations, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in a mere 6 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 3,413 nautical miles was achieved in 424 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 41,176 kilograms of fuel throughout the journey.

The aircraft touched down on runway 32R at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport with a threshold speed of 132 kt, meeting the required standard. The touchdown distance of 210 m was within acceptable limits, indicating a well-executed flare. However, the touchdown speed of 131 kt was slightly above the optimal range, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -408 fpm.
The aircraft's approach quality was good, with a stable and controlled descent from 1,233 ft agl at 4 nm from the runway. The threshold height was satisfactory, allowing for a smooth transition to the flare. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a negligible headwind of 1 kt, contributed to a stable approach. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 17.9 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path or a miscalculation of the touchdown point.
The rollout phase was marked by a misalignment of 20.5 m from the centreline, indicating a slight deviation in the aircraft's direction after touchdown. The total landing distance of 1,796 m, which accounted for 60% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing performance scored 88.8%, reflecting a good but not exceptional execution of the landing.
