During the departure roll on runway 27, the aircraft accelerated over a distance of 1,025 m, representing 44 % of the runway length, and rotated at 141 kt; ambient conditions were 26 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 323°, a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind component.

Climb commenced 1 mile west of KSAN, with the airplane climbing from 957 ft asl to 36,481 ft asl, an altitude gain of 35,524 ft achieved in 22 minutes while covering 154 nm.

The first cruise segment began 9 nm north-east of L64 Desert Center, lasting 129 minutes and traversing 1,015 nm at level flight.

Descent started 1 mile south of Elkhorn, Nebraska, where the aircraft descended from 36,969 ft asl to 2,465 ft asl, a loss of 34,503 ft completed in 21 minutes over a distance of 109 nm.

A brief level cruise followed 1 mile west of 75NE Heaton Airport, lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nm before the final approach.

The final approach to runway 14R at KOMA Eppley Airfield reduced altitude from 1,297 ft agl to 45 ft agl in 97 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.

Landing on runway 14R, which is 2,891 m long, was performed with a threshold speed of 146 kt (slightly above target), touchdown occurring 385 m down the runway at 139 kt, a touchdown rate of minus 188 fpm, and very good alignment; local weather was 32 °C with a wind of 9 kt from 190°, a 6 kt cross-wind and a 6 kt head-wind component.

The rollout distance measured 1,352 m, equivalent to 47 % of the runway, and runway-touchdown alignment was described as perfect.

Taxi-in to the parking area from the runway required 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.

In total, the flight covered 1,293 nm, lasted 193 minutes, and consumed 7,572 kg of fuel.
