The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking to the runway, a process that took a total of 13 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles (nm). This was followed by departure roll from runway 25C at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF), where the takeoff distance covered 34% of the runway length and was completed at a takeoff speed of 165 knots (kt).

The local weather conditions at Frankfurt Airport were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and winds of 5 knots at 59 degrees. Although there was a slight crosswind of 1 kt, the aircraft benefited from a tailwind of 5 kt.

Following departure, the aircraft embarked on an enroute climb from an altitude of 1,342 feet above sea level (ft asl) to 30,866 ft asl, an increase of 29,523 ft in just 22 minutes, covering a distance of 141 nm. This climb started approximately 1 mile south of Kelsterbach in the German region of Hessen.

At a certain point during the climb, the aircraft transitioned into an initial enroute level cruise, which was short-lived and lasted only 2 minutes as it covered a distance of 13 nm while flying overhead Sarstedt in Lower Saxony, Germany.

The aircraft then entered a period of enroute descent from an altitude of 31,014 ft asl to 11,961 ft asl, a decrease of 19,053 ft in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 57 nm. This initial descent started approximately 1 mile northwest of Burgdorf in Lower Saxony, Germany.

The aircraft briefly transitioned into a level flight cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 8 nm as it flew 2 miles northeast of Stelle in Lower Saxony, Germany.

From Stelle, the aircraft descended further, dropping from an altitude of 11,226 ft asl to 1,337 ft asl, a decrease of 9,889 ft in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nm. During this second descent, aircraft was flying 1 mile northwest of Barsbuettel in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.

The final approach to runway 15 at Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport (EDDH) was initiated from the northwestern quadrant, with the aircraft heading at 153.0° 4 nautical miles from the threshold at an altitude of 1,286 ft above ground level (ft agl).

Upon landing on runway 15, which measured 3,216 meters in length, the aircraft touched down with a threshold speed a little higher than the target speed of 135 kt, registering 135 kt. Although the touchdown speed was slightly fast, the touchdown rate was fair at -207 feet per minute (fpm) and runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The local weather conditions at EDDH reported a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and winds of 11 kt at 140 degrees. The aircraft experienced a crosswind of 2 kt and a headwind of 10 kt.

The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 2,162 meters, accounting for 67% of the runway length. Moreover, the runway rollout alignment was found to be perfect.

Taxiing to the parking from the runway took three minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nm.

The total flight distance was 241 nm, which was achieved in 64 minutes, requiring 2,619 kg of fuel to be consumed during the entire journey.
