The A340-3 taxied from the parking area to runway 30 at KIAD Washington Dulles International Airport, a movement that lasted 17 minutes and covered 2 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 30, the aircraft accelerated over a distance of 1,671 m (52 % of the runway) and rotated at 152 kt; ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 355°, giving a 2 kt headwind and a 4 kt crosswind component.

The initial climb began 1 nm north of South Riding, Virginia, climbing from 1,340 ft asl to 32,805 ft asl-a gain of 31,466 ft-in 17 minutes while covering 114 nm.

Level cruise commenced 2 nm southwest of NJ30 Paruszewski Farm Strip, New Jersey, and continued for 132 minutes, during which 1,107 nm were flown.

A subsequent climb segment started at latitude 45.5170517, longitude -51.909893, raising the aircraft from 33,066 ft asl to 34,999 ft asl (an increase of 1,933 ft) in 2 minutes over a distance of 13 nm.

The next cruise phase began at latitude 45.6057854, longitude -51.5873718 and lasted 206 minutes, covering 1,840 nm.

A further climb was initiated 30 nm northwest of Polzeath, Cornwall, taking the aircraft from 35,003 ft asl to 36,986 ft asl (gain of 1,983 ft) in 2 minutes while traveling 13 nm.

Cruise continued 21 nm northwest of Polzeath for 50 minutes, during which 418 nm were traversed.

Descent began 1 nm northeast of Aywaille, Belgium, descending from 36,895 ft asl to 28,012 ft asl (loss of 8,883 ft) in 5 minutes and covering 35 nm.

A brief level segment overhead Feusdorf, Rheinland-Pfalz, lasted 2 minutes and spanned 11 nm.

The next descent started 1 nm northeast of Mullenbach, Rheinland-Pfalz, dropping from 27,782 ft asl to 4,371 ft asl (loss of 23,412 ft) in 17 minutes over 81 nm.

Descent resumed 1 nm southwest of Hanau am Main, Hessen, falling from 3,996 ft asl to 1,721 ft asl (loss of 2,275 ft) in 4 minutes across 9 nm.

The final approach to runway 25L at EDDF Frankfurt Airport involved a descent from 1,426 ft agl to 132 ft agl in 146 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.

Landing on runway 25L (runway length 3,986 m) recorded a threshold height at 67 ft agl above target and a threshold speed slightly below target at 145 kt; touchdown occurred 527 m beyond the touchdown zone at 134 kt with a touchdown rate of minus 62 fpm, and the touchdown point was misaligned 14.2 m from the centreline. Local weather was 9 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 203°, providing a 1 kt headwind and a 1 kt crosswind component.

The runway rollout covered a total landing distance of 2,087 m (52 % of the runway) and the aircraft exited the runway misaligned 21.2 m from the centreline.

After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 15 minutes, traveling a further 2 nm.

In total, the flight covered 3,697 nm, required 477 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 55,286 kg of fuel.
