Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 48 seconds, averaging 1,043 fpm and reaching 202 kt at the top. The aircraft then climbed from 964 ft asl to 1,439 ft asl in 1 minute while covering 2 nm, starting 2 mi west of the airport.

Cruise was level at 1,500 ft asl for 5 minutes, covering 18 nm, beginning 4 mi south-west of the airport.

During final approach to runway 23L, descent from 1,314 ft agl to 64 ft agl was completed in 91 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, speed, and wings level; the centreline check was not met at one gate.

Landing was on runway 23L, whose length is 3,671 m. The threshold speed was slightly above target at 163 kt. The flare began late but was described as great. Touchdown occurred 80 m beyond the touchdown zone at 163 kt, a little fast, with a descent rate of minus 159 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 3.7 m from the centreline. No bounce occurred.
