The Airbus A320-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 10L at Chicago O’Hare International Airport, a movement that lasted 83 minutes and covered 11 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 10L, the aircraft used 2,933 m of runway, representing 74 % of the available length, and lifted off at 162 kt. Local conditions were 23 °C with a wind of 18 kt from 160°, including a 17 kt cross-wind component and a 6 kt head-wind component.

Climb commenced overhead Schiller Park, Illinois, with the airplane ascending from 1,035 ft asl to 36,007 ft asl, a gain of 34,973 ft achieved in 21 minutes while covering 129 nm.

The first level cruise began 3 mi north of Maroa, Illinois, and persisted for 90 minutes, during which the flight covered 646 nm.

Descent phase one started 3 mi east of Bellmead, Texas, with the aircraft descending from 36,020 ft asl to 6,006 ft asl, a loss of 30,014 ft in 23 minutes over a distance of 141 nm.

A brief second cruise segment originated 1 mi southeast of the 11XS Speed Shore Company Headquarters Heliport in Pearland, Texas, lasting 2 minutes and spanning 6 nm.

The subsequent descent began 2 mi south of the 9TX5 Camp Bullis ALS Airport, San Antonio, Texas, where the airplane dropped from 6,010 ft asl to 2,070 ft asl, a reduction of 3,940 ft in 5 minutes while covering 18 nm.

Final approach to runway 13R at San Antonio International Airport was executed from the northwest on a heading of 132.0°, entering the approach at 4 nm and 1,252 ft agl. The aircraft then descended from 1,306 ft agl to 34 ft agl in 104 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gates criteria.

Landing on runway 13R, which is 2,590 m long, occurred with a threshold speed slightly above target at 140 kt. Touchdown was recorded 119 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 130 kt, with a smooth vertical rate of minus 128 fpm and very good alignment. Local weather at the time was 28 °C with a wind of 13 kt from 152°, including a 4 kt cross-wind and a 12 kt head-wind component. The total landing distance measured 1,151 m, equivalent to 44 % of the runway.

Runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft subsequently taxied to the parking area in 6 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

In total, the flight covered 962 nm, required 181 minutes of elapsed time, and used 0 kg of fuel.
