The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 21 at EHEH Eindhoven Airport, a movement that lasted 9 minutes and covered 1 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 21, the Boeing 737-800 accelerated over a distance of 1,520 m, representing 55 % of the runway, and lifted off at 157 kt. Ambient conditions were 18 °C with a wind of 8 kt from 190°, including a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 7 kt head-wind component.

Climb commenced overhead Oerle in the province of Noord-Brabant, rising from 1,025 ft asl to 32,998 ft asl - an altitude gain of 31,973 ft - in 17 minutes while covering 106 nm.

The cruise segment began 1 mile east of Hensies in Wallonia, Belgium, and persisted for 75 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 571 nm at level flight.

Descent was initiated 2 miles south-east of San Pedro Manrique in Castilla y León, Spain, descending from 32,998 ft asl to 3,289 ft asl - a loss of 29,709 ft - in 25 minutes and covering 137 nm.

Final approach to runway 32R at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport was conducted from the south-east on a heading of 322.0°, entering the approach at 4 nm and 1,339 ft agl, then descending from 1,351 ft agl to 99 ft agl in 88 seconds; the approach met the stabilisation gates criteria.

Landing on runway 32R, whose total length is 2,996 m, was achieved with a threshold speed slightly above target at 150 kt. Touchdown occurred 366 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 141 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 222 fpm and a lateral deviation of 5.8 m from the centreline. Local weather at the time was 25 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 260°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind. The total landing roll measured 2,320 m, representing 77 % of the runway length.

Runway rollout alignment was noted as slightly off centreline by 9.9 m.

The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area, a taxi-in that required 11 minutes and covered 3 nm.

In total, the flight covered 829 nm, required 138 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 5,196 kg of fuel.
