Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Cessna 400 Corvalis began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 89 kt in a distance of 569 meters, which accounted for 23% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a high degree of agility, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 38 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was executed with equal precision, requiring only 9 seconds to complete. The pilot then initiated the downwind turn, which covered a distance of 4 nm at an angle of 90.4° to the runway. The subsequent downwind leg was flown at a speed that allowed for a smooth transition to the base leg, which was completed in 20 seconds. The final turn was executed in 25 seconds, setting the aircraft up for a stable approach.

The final approach was conducted from the north-east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 233.0° at 1 nm and 248 ft above ground level. The landing was executed to perfection, with the aircraft touching down 179 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 54 kt and a rate of -10 fpm. The runway touchdown alignment was spot on, and the pilot's control of the aircraft was evident throughout the approach and landing phases. The total flight distance was 12 nm, and the aircraft used 2 kg of fuel, completing the flight in 6 minutes.
