This resulted in a crosswind of 19 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Charlwood in Surrey, England. The climb took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,214 feet above sea level to 12,641 feet above sea level, an increase of 11,427 feet.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead Salfords in Surrey, England. This phase lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 24 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, starting 1 mile east of Meopham in Kent, England. This climb took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 79 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 12,743 feet above sea level to 36,966 feet above sea level, an increase of 24,223 feet.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile south of Wilbarston in Northamptonshire, England. This phase lasted for 16 minutes and covered a distance of 122 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 3 miles south east of Sedbergh in Cumbria, England. The descent took 26 minutes and covered a distance of 107 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 35,546 feet above sea level to 1,354 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,192 feet.

The final approach to runway 24 at Edinburgh Airport (EGPH) was made from the north east, with a heading of 238.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,242 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 24, which has a length of 2,132 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 132 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 421 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 122 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -255 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centreline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 34 knots from a direction of 210°. This resulted in a crosswind of 16 knots and a headwind of 29 knots. The total landing distance was 1,324 meters, which is 62% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.

The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 10 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 344 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 79 minutes. The aircraft used 3,070 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
