The Experimental Darkstar departed from Chibougamau (Quebec, Canada), climbing from 275,000 feet above sea level to 260,375 feet above sea level in a mere 5 minutes, covering a distance of 428 nautical miles. This initial ascent phase was characterized by a significant increase in altitude, with a gain of 14,625 feet. The aircraft then transitioned into a series of enroute climbs and descents, navigating through various Canadian and American airspace.
As the Experimental Darkstar continued its journey, it initiated a descent from 259,281 feet above sea level to 6,023 feet above sea level in just 2 minutes, covering 112 nautical miles. This rapid descent was followed by another enroute climb, this time from 5,102 feet above sea level to 13,191 feet above sea level in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, decreasing from 13,305 feet above sea level to 1,651 feet above sea level in 4 minutes, covering 40 nautical miles.
The Experimental Darkstar finally approached runway 06 at CFB Trenton, executing a smooth final approach from the southwest at a heading of 50.0° and an altitude of 1,356 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the 2,737-meter runway, with a touchdown point 607 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was within acceptable limits, but the touchdown rate of -422 feet per minute was slightly higher than desired. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 12 knots at 220°, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing. The total landing distance of 2,109 meters was 77% of the runway length, and the runway rollout alignment was excellent.

The final approach to runway 06 at CYTR CFB Trenton was initiated from the south west, heading 50.0° at 4 nm and 1,356 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 202 kt, indicating a potential need for adjustment in the approach configuration.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown point was 607 m beyond the touchdown zone, which was slightly off-center. The touchdown speed of 128 kt was good, but the touchdown rate of -422 fpm was hard, suggesting a possible need for a more gradual descent. Runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 9 °C and a wind of 12 kt at 220°, contributed to a crosswind of 2 kt and a tailwind of 12 kt.
The total landing distance of 2,109 m was 77% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing. Runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance of the Experimental Darkstar scored 81.6%, reflecting a good but not exceptional performance.
