The flight began with an enroute climb from the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport in Texas, where the aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, took off from an altitude of 619 feet above sea level. The climb was steep, reaching an altitude of 20,010 feet above sea level in just 10 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles. This rapid ascent allowed the aircraft to quickly gain altitude and establish a stable cruising altitude.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 40 minutes and covered a distance of 253 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place approximately 1 mile north-east of Campbell Field in Aubrey, Texas. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles north of Bonner Field in Fredonia, Kansas. The descent was equally as steep as the initial climb, with the aircraft losing 12,093 feet in altitude in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 38 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time lasting only 4 minutes and covering a distance of 17 nautical miles. This brief cruise phase took place 4 miles west of LeRoy, Kansas. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 2 miles north-west of Waverly, Kansas. This descent was less steep than the initial descent, with the aircraft losing 5,166 feet in altitude in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 31 at Topeka Regional Airport was made from the south-east, with the aircraft heading 317.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,238 feet above ground level. The landing was smooth, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 95 knots and a rate of -147 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was good, covering 1,164 feet of the 12,791-foot runway. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 59 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270 degrees.

The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 1 minute. The total flight distance was 368 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 75 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used no fuel during the flight, indicating a highly efficient performance.
