The North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco taxied to runway 21 at KBCE Bryce Canyon Airport and commenced its departure roll, using 665 m (30 % of the runway) to achieve a liftoff speed of 89 kt. Ambient conditions were 20 °C with a wind from 270° at 6 kt, including a 5-kt headwind component and a 4-kt cross-wind.

The initial climb began directly overhead KBCE, raising the aircraft from 7,527 ft ASL to 7,631 ft ASL - a gain of 104 ft in less than one minute while covering under one nautical mile.

A level cruise segment followed, still over KBCE, lasting three minutes and extending the flight by 10 nm.

The next climb started 7 nm southwest of Tropic, Utah, where the aircraft ascended from 8,039 ft ASL to 9,329 ft ASL, an increase of 1,291 ft in two minutes while traversing 5 nm.

A descent commenced three nautical miles east of UT26 Bryce Woodland Estates Airport (Hatch), dropping from 9,350 ft ASL to 8,174 ft ASL - a loss of 1,177 ft in two minutes over a distance of 6 nm.

The aircraft then entered a cruise phase one mile southeast of KPAG Panguitch Airport, maintaining altitude for two minutes and covering 6 nm.

A further descent began five nautical miles east of UT00 Swains Creek Airport (Alton), descending from 8,040 ft ASL to 6,919 ft ASL, a reduction of 1,120 ft in three minutes across 13 nm.

Overhead Orderville the aircraft level-cruised for five minutes, adding 15 nm to the flight path.

Three nautical miles west of 00UT Clear Creek Ranch Airport (Kanab) a descent reduced altitude from 6,677 ft ASL to 5,882 ft ASL, a loss of 795 ft in two minutes while covering 4 nm.

A climb began five nautical miles northeast of Springdale, raising the aircraft from 5,885 ft ASL to 7,393 ft ASL - a gain of 1,507 ft in two minutes over 4 nm.

The aircraft then cruised seven nautical miles north of Springdale for three minutes, traveling 8 nm at a constant altitude.

A descent started nine nautical miles southeast of 40NH DOCILF New Harmony, dropping from 7,883 ft ASL to 6,231 ft ASL, a decrease of 1,653 ft in three minutes and covering 8 nm.

Subsequent level cruise 5 nm southeast of the same reference point lasted three minutes and added 10 nm.

Another descent began four nautical miles south of 40NH DOCILF New Harmony, falling from 5,869 ft ASL to 5,032 ft ASL - a loss of 837 ft in two minutes across 6 nm.

The aircraft then cruised three nautical miles north of Toquerville for two minutes, covering 5 nm at a steady altitude.

A descent over Leeds reduced altitude from 4,594 ft ASL to 4,113 ft ASL, a loss of 481 ft in two minutes while traveling 4 nm.

Finally, a cruise segment three nautical miles southwest of Leeds lasted three minutes and added 6 nm before the approach phase.

During final approach to runway 19 at KSGU St George Regional Airport, the aircraft approached from the north on a heading of 201.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 920 ft AGL.

Landing on runway 19 was executed on a 2,825 m runway; the threshold height of 85 ft AGL was above the target, while the threshold speed was recorded at 92 kt. Touchdown occurred 294 m beyond the touchdown zone at 89 kt with a smooth rate of -114 fpm, and the wheel track was offset 7.8 m from the centreline. The total landing distance measured 1,479 m (52 % of runway length), and rollout alignment was off by 7.9 m from centreline.

After touchdown, the aircraft taxied to parking in one minute, covering less than one nautical mile.

In total, the flight covered 114 nm, required 41 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 167 kg of fuel.
