The Boeing 737 MAX 8 taxied from the parking area to runway 31C at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport, covering approximately 1 nm in a duration of 5 minutes.

During the departure roll on runway 31C, the aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 1,084 m, representing 61 % of the available runway, and achieved liftoff at 151 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 26 °C with wind from 260° at 7 kt, including a 5-kt crosswind component and a 4-kt headwind.

The climb commenced 1 mile east of Summit, Illinois, with the airplane climbing from 1,608 ft asl to 36,860 ft asl, an altitude gain of 35,252 ft achieved in 20 minutes while covering 132 nm.

Level cruise began 2 miles south of IN46 Butler Field, Rockville, Indiana, and persisted for 110 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 837 nm.

Descent operations started 1 mile southwest of Pine Island Center, Florida, with a reduction from 36,999 ft asl to 1,319 ft asl, a loss of 35,680 ft over 20 minutes and a distance of 110 nm.

The final approach to runway 09 at KMIA Miami International Airport was conducted from the west, on a heading of 87.0°, at 4 nm and 1,297 ft agl.

Landing on runway 09, which is 3,555 m long, occurred with a threshold speed slightly above target at 151 kt. Touchdown was recorded at 371 m down the runway, with a speed of 149 kt and a descent rate of minus 272 fpm; runway-touchdown alignment was reported as very good. Local weather at the time was 33 °C, wind from 110° at 11 kt, with a 4-kt crosswind and a 10-kt headwind.

The total landing distance measured 1,837 m, equivalent to 52 % of the runway length, and rollout alignment was described as perfect.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a movement that lasted 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.

In total, the flight covered 1,087 nm, required 159 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 5,640 kg of fuel.
