This flight began with an enroute climb from the Rush Green Airstrip Stevenage, located in Hertfordshire, England. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, took off from a height of 1,674 feet above sea level and quickly ascended to 1,498 feet above sea level, a gain of 176 feet in less than a minute. This rapid climb covered a distance of less than a nautical mile.

As the aircraft approached London Luton Airport, it began its final approach to runway 25 from the east. At this point, the aircraft was flying at an altitude of 978 feet above ground level and was approximately 3 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft was heading in a direction of 254.0 degrees, which put it on a direct course for the runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 25, which is 2,074 meters long. However, the threshold height at which the aircraft landed was above the target height, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 140 knots. The touchdown point was 140 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 133 knots.

Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the touchdown rate was firm at -356 feet per minute, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 20 knots from a direction of 290 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 17 knots.

The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,345 meters, which accounted for 65% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's descent and rollout. Overall, the flight was completed in a distance of 4 nautical miles, taking approximately 2 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 69 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
