Departing Dyess Air Force Base, the Airbus A330-900 began its takeoff roll on runway 16, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 159 kt in 1,537 meters, which represented 37% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off into a local temperature of 28 °C, with a wind of 13 kt at 239 °, resulting in a 12 kt crosswind and a 4 kt headwind. Following a left-hand pattern entry, the aircraft navigated the circuit, completing a left-hand pattern crosswind turn in less than 1 nm in 16 seconds.
As the aircraft continued its approach, it entered the pattern downwind turn, covering a distance of 8 nm at an angle of 31.1 ° to the runway. The downwind leg itself spanned 14 nm in 257 seconds, before the aircraft initiated the base leg turn, covering 7 nm at an angle of 34.8 ° to the runway. The base leg was completed in 2 nm in 53 seconds, followed by a final turn of the same distance and duration. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 16 from the north, descending to 1,140 ft agl at 4 nm from the threshold.
The Airbus A330-900 touched down on runway 16, with a touchdown speed of 142 kt, slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance of 371 meters was within acceptable limits, but the touchdown rate of -277 fpm was fair. Notably, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 19.1 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 17.8 meters from the centerline. The aircraft used 1,160 kg of fuel for the 40 nm flight, which took approximately 12 minutes to complete.

The aircraft, an Airbus A330-900, initiated its final approach to runway 16 at KDYS Dyess Air Force Base from the north, aligning with the runway heading of 177.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,140 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 146 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 371 meters, but the touchdown speed of 142 knots was a little fast, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -277 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 19.1 meters from the centreline, which would require correction during the rollout phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind of 13 knots at 240°, contributed to a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,515 meters was 37% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 17.8 meters from the centreline, which would require further correction to achieve a smooth and controlled rollout. Overall, the landing performance scored 90.9%, reflecting a good but not exceptional performance, with areas for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and alignment during the rollout phase.
