The B752 taxied from the parking area to runway 22R at KJFK, a movement that required 20 minutes and covered 2 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 22R, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 167 kt and left the ground after traveling 2,110 ft, representing 24 % of the runway length; ambient conditions were 90 °F with a wind of 5 kt from 250°, a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt head-wind component.

Climb commenced 1 mile north of Arverne, New York, where the airplane rose from 887 ft asl to 36,003 ft asl, a gain of 35,116 ft achieved in 26 minutes while covering 171 nm.

The first cruise segment began 2 miles north of New Ringgold, Pennsylvania, and persisted for 325 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 2,028 nm at level altitude.

Descent was initiated 6 miles west of Yosemite Valley, California, with the aircraft descending from 36,028 ft asl to 1,804 ft asl, a loss of 34,224 ft accomplished in 22 minutes over a distance of 123 nm.

A brief cruise followed, starting 1 mile north-east of Foster City, California, lasting 2 minutes and covering 2 nm.

The final approach to runway 28R at KSFO was flown from the south-east, on a heading of 298.0° at 4 nm and 1,242 ft agl; local weather reported 64 °F, wind 9 kt from 290°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 9 kt head-wind.

Touchdown occurred before the runway threshold at a speed of 130 kt; the aircraft’s vertical speed was minus 270 fpm and the touchdown point was offset 39 ft from the centreline.

Rollout extended for a total landing distance of 5,356 ft, equivalent to 46 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s alignment during rollout was excessively misaligned by 280 ft from the centreline.

The B752 taxied from the runway to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.

In total, the flight covered 2,332 nm, required 343 (unspecified units) of time, and consumed 37,871 lb of fuel.
