The Airbus A319 taxied from the parking area to runway 04 at Zagreb Franjo Tuđman International Airport, a movement that lasted 10 minutes and covered 2 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 04, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 150 kt and left the ground after traveling 5,714 ft, which represented 54 % of the runway length; ambient conditions were 82 °F with a 3-kt wind from 43 °, a headwind component of 3 kt and no crosswind.

Climb commenced over Velika Kosnica, rising from 1,309 ft asl to 38,008 ft asl-a gain of 36,699 ft-over 17 minutes while covering 105 nm.

Cruise began 2 mi west of Obdach in Austria and was maintained for 41 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 284 nm at level flight.

Descent was initiated 3 mi west of Tann, Germany, descending from 38,019 ft asl to 1,546 ft asl, a loss of 36,472 ft in 25 minutes and a distance of 136 nm.

The final approach to runway 06 at Cologne Bonn Airport was flown from the south-west on a heading of 64.0 °, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,281 ft agl.

Landing on runway 06 was achieved with a threshold speed of 126 kt; touchdown occurred at 1,067 ft down the runway at 120 kt, a vertical speed of minus 248 fpm, and perfect alignment, resulting in a total landing distance of 6,403 ft, equivalent to 80 % of the runway.

Runway rollout proceeded with perfect alignment, completing the landing roll within the remaining runway length.

After vacating the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a taxi-in of 5 minutes covering 1 nm.

In total, the flight covered 536 nm, required 98 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 7,613 lb of fuel.
