The Diamond DA42 Twin Star taxied to runway 34 at KADS Addison Airport and commenced the take-off roll, covering 565 m which represents 29 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 86 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind from 270° at 12 kt, including an 11 kt cross-component and a 4 kt head-wind component.

Climb began approximately 1 nm north of Addison, where the aircraft accelerated from 1,655 ft asl to 4,347 ft asl, gaining 2,692 ft in 2 minutes while traversing 4 nm.

The first cruise segment started 3 nm west of Plano and was sustained for 37 minutes, during which 101 nm were covered at level flight.

Descent commenced 2 nm south of Blue Ridge, with the aircraft descending from 5,007 ft asl to 2,761 ft asl, a loss of 2,246 ft in 3 minutes over a distance of 8 nm.

A second cruise phase originated 1 nm north-east of 46TS Lavon North Airport (Princeton) and lasted 10 minutes, during which 23 nm were flown.

The next descent started 3 nm east of University Park, reducing altitude from 2,466 ft asl to 1,912 ft asl, a decrease of 554 ft in 3 minutes while covering 6 nm.

Final approach to runway 34 at KADS was executed from the south-east on a heading of 338.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,278 ft agl.

Landing was made on runway 34, whose length is 1,961 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 82 kt. Touchdown occurred 345 m down the runway at 64 kt with a vertical speed of minus 152 fpm, and alignment at touchdown was perfect. Local weather at the time was 15 °C with a wind from 270° at 12 kt, comprising an 11 kt cross-wind and a 4 kt head-wind.

Rollout proceeded with runway alignment maintained perfectly; the total landing distance measured 526 m, representing 27 % of the runway length.

In total the flight covered 147 nm, required 58 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 39 kg of fuel.
