Departing from Wellington International Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 34, the crew initiated the departure roll, and the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 135 knots. The takeoff distance of 753 meters accounted for 42% of the runway length, a testament to the aircraft's efficient performance in the local conditions. The temperature was a pleasant 21 degrees Celsius, with a moderate headwind of 25 knots and a crosswind of 6 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it passed overhead the SB14 Wellington VOR, marking the beginning of the enroute climb phase. The crew expertly guided the aircraft upwards, increasing its altitude from 962 feet to 34,844 feet in just 17 minutes, covering a distance of 109 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a brief level cruise phase, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and speed for 10 minutes, covering 85 nautical miles. The descent phase commenced 5 miles east of Tokoroa Airfield, with the aircraft losing altitude from 34,857 feet to 1,286 feet in 22 minutes, covering 114 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 23L at Auckland International Airport was executed from the east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 251.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,258 feet above ground level.
The landing was a successful one, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 123 knots and a rate of -52 feet per minute. The touchdown point was 107 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance of 1,252 meters accounted for 38% of the runway length, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. After a short taxiing period of 3 minutes, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 316 nautical miles and consuming 2,300 kilograms of fuel in the process. The flight duration was 61 minutes, a testament to the crew's skill and the aircraft's efficiency.

The aircraft touched down on runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition into the touchdown phase. The threshold speed was also well-managed at 134 kt, indicating a high degree of control and precision from the pilots. The touchdown point was 107 m beyond the touchdown zone, which, although not ideal, was still within acceptable limits.
The touchdown speed of 123 kt was good, and the touchdown rate of -52 fpm was excellent, demonstrating a high level of skill and control from the pilots. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or during the final stages of the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 18 °C and a light wind of 1 kt at 120 °, were not particularly challenging.
The total landing distance of 1,252 m was 38% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained control and alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was well-executed, with a score of 98.5% reflecting the high level of skill and precision demonstrated by the pilots.
