Departing from RCBS Kinmen Airport, the MD-11 began its takeoff roll on runway 06, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 166 kt in 1,070 meters, which was 39% of the runway's length. The aircraft then climbed away from the airport, navigating through a local weather scenario characterized by a temperature of 28 °C and winds of 11 kt at 39 °, resulting in a 4 kt crosswind and a 10 kt headwind.
As the MD-11 transitioned into its enroute climb phase, it began ascending from 959 ft asl to 15,007 ft asl, a vertical increase of 14,048 ft in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 33 nm. The climb phase was followed by a 7-minute level cruise at 33 miles south east of RCBS Kinmen Airport, during which the aircraft covered 65 nm. The MD-11 then initiated its enroute descent from 14,334 ft asl to 3,299 ft asl, a decrease of 11,035 ft in 5 minutes, covering 43 nm. Following this, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, this time lasting 7 minutes and covering 40 nm as it flew 20 miles west of RCPO Hsinchu Air Base.
As the MD-11 approached its destination, RCTP Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, it began its final approach to runway 05R from the south west, maintaining a heading of 48.0 ° at 2 nm and 1,825 ft agl. The aircraft landed on the runway, touching down at a speed of 157 kt and a distance of 144 m, which was well within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was slightly higher than desired at -486 fpm, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Following a taxiing period of 4 minutes, the MD-11 came to a stop, having covered a total distance of 186 nm and consumed 6,147 kg of fuel during the flight.

The MD-11 touched down on runway 05R at RCTP Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport with a score of 96.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south west, aligning with the centreline at 48.0°, and began its descent from 2 nautical miles and 1,825 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height, allowing the pilots to maintain a stable and controlled descent.
As the aircraft touched down, it exceeded the target threshold speed by 16 knots, coming in at 156 kt. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits, measuring 144 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 157 kt was slightly faster than desired, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -486 feet per minute. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 22°C and a 6-knot headwind, contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 885 meters was 27% of the runway length, indicating a satisfactory rollout performance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered good, with the only notable areas for improvement being the touchdown speed and rate.
