Departing King Island Airport (YKII), the DA62 began its journey, taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the threshold of runway 17, it initiated its departure roll, utilizing 444 meters, or 40% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 78 knots. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 8°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots from a direction of 250°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component and a slight headwind of 2 knots.

As the aircraft climbed out of King Island, it began its enroute climb, ascending from an initial altitude of 702 feet above sea level to 6,960 feet, an increase of 6,258 feet in just 5 minutes, while covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The climb was initiated 1 mile northeast of Currie, and the aircraft continued to cruise at this altitude for a short period before beginning its enroute level cruise, which lasted 40 minutes and covered a distance of 110 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, reducing its altitude from 7,000 feet to 4,385 feet in 5 minutes, while covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. This descent was initiated 3 miles northeast of Portarlington, and the aircraft continued to descend, eventually leveling off at an altitude of 3,348 feet above sea level.

As the aircraft approached Melbourne Essendon Airport (YMEN), it initiated its final approach to runway 17, aligning itself with the runway from the north at a heading of 177.0° and an altitude of 1,303 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, utilizing 758 meters, or 50% of the runway, to come to a stop. The touchdown speed of 79 knots was slightly above the target, but the touchdown rate of -199 feet per minute was satisfactory. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 177 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 45 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted a total of 73 minutes.
