The departure roll on runway 34R used a takeoff distance of 343 m, representing 38 % of the runway, and the aircraft lifted off at 53 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 15 °C, wind 6 kt from 189°, a crosswind component of 1 kt and a tailwind component of 5 kt.

Climb commenced overhead KPAE, with the aircraft ascending from 766 ft asl to 8 664 ft asl, an increase of 7 898 ft achieved in 12 minutes while covering 22 nm.

The first level cruise began overhead KNRA Coupeville Nolf Airport and lasted 5 minutes, during which 12 nm were flown.

Descent started 4 mi southwest of ZC01 Whidbey Static Carrier-CVN76, descending from 8 602 ft asl to 2 447 ft asl, a loss of 6 154 ft in 3 minutes and covering 9 nm.

A second level cruise was initiated 1 mi southeast of 61WA Burden Field-(Rabbit Run) Airport, lasting 2 minutes and spanning 3 nm.

The next descent began 1 mi northwest of 61WA Burden Field-(Rabbit Run) Airport, dropping from 2 391 ft asl to 1 030 ft asl, a decrease of 1 361 ft in 2 minutes while covering 5 nm.

A right-hand pattern entry was flown, covering a distance of 4 nm in 125 seconds.

Final approach to runway 25 at 61WA Burden Field-(Rabbit Run) Airport was conducted from the east, on a heading of 265.0° at 1 nm and 222 ft agl. Weather at the time was temperature 15 °C, wind 6 kt from 189°, crosswind 5 kt and headwind 1 kt.

Landing on runway 25, which is 747 m long, occurred with a threshold height at 127 ft agl that was excessively over target and a threshold speed of 90 kt that was excessively high. Touchdown was beyond 75 % of the available runway, at a speed of 73 kt, with a hard touchdown rate of minus 435 fpm and a lateral deviation of 9.3 m from the centreline.
