Departing from Birmingham International Airport (EGBB), the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 15, the crew prepared for departure, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 14 °C and a wind speed of 22 kt from 220°. The aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 153 kt, using 1,076 meters of the runway, which accounted for 46% of its total length.
As the aircraft climbed away from EGBB, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 5,872 ft asl in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The crew then leveled off and entered a cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude for 11 minutes as the aircraft covered 47 nautical miles. This pattern of climb and cruise was repeated several times, with the aircraft reaching its maximum altitude of 31,009 ft asl over Berrick Salome, Oxfordshire. The crew then began its descent, gradually losing altitude as the aircraft approached its destination, Cologne Bonn Airport (EDDK).
As the aircraft entered the final approach phase, it began its descent from 30,982 ft asl, eventually touching down on runway 13L at EDDK. The landing was slightly above target, with a touchdown speed of 137 kt, and the touchdown point was 107 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The aircraft's total landing distance was 1,447 meters, accounting for 38% of the runway's length. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, completing its journey of 388 nautical miles, which had taken 77 minutes and consumed 3,594 kg of fuel.

The final approach to runway 13L at EDDK Cologne Bonn Airport from the north west was executed with a heading of 137.0° at 4 nm and 1,273 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 137 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal approach speed.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown point was 107 m beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 129 kt was a little fast. The touchdown rate of -244 fpm was fair, indicating a moderate deceleration. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.9 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path or a slight drift during the landing roll. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 14 °C and a headwind of 7 kt, did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,447 m was 38% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration after touchdown. Overall, the landing was scored 95.4%, reflecting a good performance with some minor deviations from the optimal approach and landing characteristics.
