The aircraft flown was the Airbus A320. The pre-flight preparation involved taxiing from the parking to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles (nm). The aircraft then proceeded to depart from runway 27 at LBSF Sofia Airport. The takeoff distance covered 45% of the runway, amounting to 1,614 meters.

As the aircraft took to the skies, it experienced a liftoff speed of 151 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were as follows: the temperature was a relatively cool 14°C. The air traffic controller cleared the aircraft to start its en-route climb at 1 mile west of LBSF Sofia Airport.

The en-route climb phase commenced, where the aircraft lifted from an altitude of 2,740 feet above sea level to 22,595 feet above sea level, translating to an altitude increase of 19,856 feet. This climb phase was covered in 9 minutes and spanned a distance of 32 nm. The initial phase of the cruise was reached when the aircraft was climbing at 6 miles west of Yablanitsa, Bulgaria, with the cruise lasting for 5 minutes. This phase covered a distance of 36 nm.

The initial descent stage started 2 miles northwest of Pleven, Bulgaria, from an altitude of 22,764 feet above sea level to 14,846 feet above sea level, with a decrease in altitude of 7,917 feet. Notably, even though the aircraft had descended significantly, it was still above the initial cruising altitude. The descent covered a distance of 35 nm in 5 minutes.

The aircraft then proceeded to an en-route level cruise phase, which initiated overhead Furculesti, Teleorman, Romania. This phase, however, was quite brief, covering an altitude of 2 minutes and approximately less than 1 nm.

The second descent phase of the flight started overhead Furculesti, Romania, from an altitude of 14,846 feet above sea level to 1,588 feet above sea level, translating to a significant altitude decrease of 13,258 feet. This took 14 minutes to cover and spanned a distance of 52 nm.

Upon nearing the end of its journey, the flight entered the final approach phase, where the aircraft approached runway 07 at LRBS Bucharest Băneasa Aurel Vlaicu International Airport from the west, with an initial approach distance of 4 nm and 1,284 feet above ground level. It is worth noting that the initial speed during the final approach was 75.0 degrees.

As the aircraft continued its descent, it was able to land safely on runway 07, with the runway length being 2,950 meters. Not only did the landing exhibit a 'good threshold height', the threshold speed, touchdown speed, touchdown rate, and runway touchdown alignment were 'good'. The temperature at the time of landing was 9°C, with a headwind of 13 knots and a crosswind of 3 knots.

The total landing distance was significantly shorter at 824 meters, accounting for only 28% of the available runway. Moreover, the roll-out alignment was very well executed and smooth. In the final stages of the flight, the aircraft underwent taxiing to the parking area, covering less than 1 nm in approximately 5 minutes.

After assessing the flight metrics, it is clear that the total distance covered was 163 nautical miles, with the entire journey lasting 47 minutes. Consequently, the aircraft consumed a total of 1,537 kilograms of fuel during this period.
