The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 32 at KGLS Scholes International Airport in Galveston, a movement that lasted 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 32, the Boeing 737-700 accelerated over a takeoff distance of 836 m, representing 46 % of the runway length, and lifted off at 137 kt; ambient temperature was 30 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 130°, no cross-wind and a 2 kt tailwind.

The climb commenced overhead KGLS, climbing from 983 ft asl to 40 999 ft asl, an altitude gain of 40 017 ft achieved in 40 minutes while covering 290 nm.

Level cruise began 35 miles south of the 5LA6 E-8 Tank Battery Seaplane Base in Venice, Louisiana, and persisted for 43 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 335 nm.

Descent operations started 52 miles southwest of Longboat Key, Florida, with the aircraft descending from 40 897 ft asl to 1 323 ft asl, a loss of 39 574 ft in 14 minutes and a distance of 90 nm.

The final approach to runway 06 at KRSW Southwest Florida International Airport was conducted from the southwest, on a heading of 54.0° at 4 nm and 1 287 ft agl.

Landing on runway 06 was executed on a runway 3 653 m long; the threshold speed was 119 kt, touchdown occurred at 112 kt after a ground roll of 333 m, and the vertical speed at touchdown was minus 137 fpm, with alignment described as very good; local weather reported a temperature of 24 °C, wind 3 kt from 140°, a 3 kt cross-wind and no headwind. The total landing distance recorded was 774 m, equivalent to 21 % of the runway, and rollout alignment remained very good.

After touchdown, the aircraft rolled out over the remaining runway, completing the 774 m landing distance and maintaining the precise alignment noted during touchdown.

The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.

In total, the flight covered 722 nm, required 104 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 4 511 kg of fuel.
