The aircraft flown was an AT802 Firefighting, which embarked on a flight from the parking area to the runway at Riviera Villanova d'Albenga International Airport (LIMG). The taxiing process took 2 minutes and covered a short distance of less than 1 nm, setting the stage for the impending takeoff.

With the departure roll on runway 09 underway, the aircraft lifted off with a speed of 93 kt, leaving just 44% of the runway's 588-meter length behind. The initial takeoff performance was notable for its efficiency, taking advantage of the favorable local weather conditions, including a temperature of 16 °C, wind speeds of 4 kt at 19 °, and a moderate headwind of 1 kt.

Once airborne, the AT802 began its enroute climb from 335 ft above sea level (asl) to 3,863 ft asl, a vertical gain of 3,528 ft over a 4-minute period. This ascent covered a horizontal distance of 8 nm as the aircraft soared over the Italian landscape. Specifically, it was climbing from above Villanova d'Albenga to establish itself at the higher elevation.

After leveling off, the aircraft embarked on a brief 2-minute cruise phase at 4 nm, reaching a milestone point above Pietra Ligure. The flight's trajectory then shifted with a controlled descent, losing 1,000 ft in just 2 minutes and covering 3 nm as the aircraft descended from 3,564 ft asl to 2,565 ft asl above Calice Ligure.

There followed another level cruise phase, now 1 mile west of Segno, which lasted for 2 minutes and added another 1 nm to the flight's total distance. A subsequent climb from 2,680 ft asl to 4,665 ft asl above Vezzi Portio involved a 3-minute period and covered an 8 nm horizontal distance.

Just before its final approach, the AT802 embarked on a significant descent from 4,663 ft asl to 496 ft asl, a vertical drop of nearly 4,167 ft, which occurred within a 4-minute timeframe. This final descent phase covered 8 nm as the aircraft aligned for the landing, positioning itself 1 mile south of Giustenice.

The final approach to runway 09 was initiated from the west, heading 92.0 ° at a height of 356 ft asl over the threshold area located 1 nm away. Upon landing on the 1,337 m runway, the aircraft touched down safely, achieving a touchdown speed of 59 kt while covering a short touchdown distance of 55 m.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C, a wind speed of 4 kt at 20 °, and moderate crosswinds of 4 kt, supported by a weak headwind of 1 kt. The aircraft's landing distance covered just 17% of the runway length, at 221 m. Moreover, the touchdown rate was fair, at -206 fpm.

After a successful landing, the aircraft underwent a smooth taxiing phase back to the parking area, requiring 2 minutes to cover less than 1 nm. Throughout the entire flight, the AT802 Firefighting demonstrated an efficient flight profile, which spanned 34 nm, utilized 56 kg of fuel, and lasted 22 minutes, showcasing its capabilities and performance in handling various phases of flight.
