Departing from Dunedin International Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 03, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,104-meter runway, which represented 59% of its length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 137 knots, overcoming the local wind conditions of 5 knots at 0 degrees, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from Dunedin, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 21,008 feet above sea level in just 8 minutes, covering a distance of 43 nautical miles. The climb started 1 mile northeast of the airport and concluded 17 miles south of Kakanui, marking the beginning of the enroute level cruise phase. This phase lasted for 9 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 62 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase commenced 25 miles southeast of Timaru, with the aircraft descending from 21,008 feet to 838 feet above sea level in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 76 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Christchurch International Airport, it began its final approach to runway 29, aligning itself with the runway from the southeast. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 132 knots, and the aircraft touched down at a speed of 127 knots, slightly above the ideal speed. The touchdown distance was 238 meters, representing 50% of the runway length. The aircraft's touchdown rate was high at -572 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centerline. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 188 nautical miles, and the aircraft consumed 1,654 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted a total of 47 minutes.

The Airbus A320 touched down on runway 29 at Christchurch International Airport, demonstrating a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 132 kt, well within the acceptable range. The aircraft's descent was controlled, with a touchdown distance of 238 m, which was satisfactory given the runway length of 1,700 m. However, the touchdown speed of 127 kt was slightly above the optimal range, resulting in a very hard touchdown rate of -572 fpm.
The aircraft's alignment with the runway centreline was not ideal, with a deviation of 4.1 m from the centreline at touchdown. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the critical phase of the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 14 °C and a gentle headwind of 4 kt, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 94.9%. The aircraft's ability to maintain a good threshold height and speed, combined with a controlled touchdown and a good rollout alignment, demonstrated a high level of proficiency. However, the hard touchdown rate and slight misalignment with the centreline at touchdown were areas for improvement.
