The Boeing 737 MAX 8 taxied from the parking area to runway 20C at Singapore Changi Airport, a movement that lasted 21 minutes and covered 3 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 20C, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 162 kt and left the ground after traveling 7,002 ft, which represented 53 % of the runway length; ambient temperature was 93 °F with a wind of 14 kt from 140°, including a 13 kt cross-wind component and a 7 kt head-wind component.

The initial climb began 1 mile south-west of WSAC Changi Air Base (East) in Singapore, where the airplane rose from 948 ft asl to 34,578 ft asl, gaining 33,631 ft in 21 minutes while covering 146 nm.

A level cruise segment commenced 25 nm north-east of Tioman Airport, lasting 7 minutes and traversing 52 nm at a constant altitude.

A second climb started 79 nm north-east of Tioman Airport, during which the aircraft increased altitude from 35,001 ft asl to 35,630 ft asl, an ascent of 630 ft achieved in 2 minutes over a distance of 12 nm.

The next cruise phase originated 85 nm north-west of Letung Airport, extending for 118 minutes and covering 1,220 nm at cruise altitude.

Descent began 33 nm south of Sok Kwu Wan, with the airplane descending from 35,003 ft asl to 7,221 ft asl, a loss of 27,782 ft in 16 minutes while traveling 110 nm.

A brief cruise followed 11 nm south-west of Licheng, lasting 7 minutes and covering 30 nm.

The subsequent descent started 4 nm west of Shiqiao, where altitude fell from 5,852 ft asl to 5,110 ft asl, a reduction of 742 ft in 2 minutes across 5 nm.

A short cruise segment then began 5 nm east of Foshan, lasting 2 minutes and spanning 5 nm.

The final descent commenced overhead Guangzhou, with the aircraft descending from 4,781 ft asl to 1,212 ft asl, a decrease of 3,569 ft in 4 minutes while covering 12 nm.

On final approach to runway 02R at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, the aircraft approached from the south on a heading of 13.0° at 4 nm and 1,148 ft agl.

Touchdown occurred before the runway threshold at a speed of 135 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 129 fpm; the touchdown point was laterally displaced 1,302 ft from the centreline. Ambient temperature was 95 °F, wind 2 kt from 250° with a 2 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt tail-wind component. The total landing roll measured 3,324 ft, representing 33 % of the runway length.

During rollout the aircraft remained misaligned, with the wheel track offset by 1,311 ft from the centreline.

The airplane taxied from the runway to the parking area in 8 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

In total, the flight covered 1,605 nm, required 193 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed -9,919 lb of fuel.
