The flight began with a taxiing period of 8 minutes from the parking bay to the runway at Limnos Airport (LGLM). The aircraft, an Airbus A320, covered a distance of 2 nautical miles before reaching runway 04R. As the flight progressed, it performed a departure roll, covering 1,358 metres or 45% of the runway, and achieving liftoff speed of 161 knots.
The local weather conditions at departure were characterized by a temperature of 29°C and wind blowing at a mere 3 knots. However, the aircraft had to contend with a 3-knot crosswind and a 1-knot headwind. After departing, the aircraft began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,040 feet above sea level (asl) to a cruising altitude of 38,620 ft asl. This vertical ascent of 37,580 feet was achieved in 21 minutes and spanned a horizontal distance of 109 nautical miles, with the aircraft flying south-east of Atsiki in the North Aegean region of Greece.
The enroute climb phase was followed by a long cruise phase, which began about 4 nautical miles south-west of Triantafyllia in the Central Macedonia region of Greece. During this phase, the aircraft remained at a constant altitude of 38,620 ft asl and covered a distance of 1,172 nautical miles in an impressive 191 minutes.
As the flight progressed, the crew initiated a descent phase from 38,297 ft asl to 3,433 ft asl, reducing the aircraft's altitude by a significant 34,864 feet in the process. This vertical descent was achieved in only 21 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 99 nautical miles. Following the descent, a brief level cruise phase of 2 minutes ensued, with the aircraft flying 1 nautical mile north of Longdendale in the Borough of Tameside, England, before descending further.
The descent phase from 3,089 ft asl to 1,575 ft asl was remarkably brief, lasting only 2 minutes. During this period, the aircraft travelled 5 nautical miles, with the descent commencing over Hyde in the Borough of Tameside, England. The aircraft then continued towards Manchester Airport (EGCC), executing a final approach to runway 23R from the north-east. The aircraft flew at an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the threshold of the runway, with a heading of 231.0°.
The aircraft landed safely on runway 23R, which is 2,434 metres long. The local weather conditions at touchdown consisted of a temperature of 11°C, a wind speed of 7 knots blowing at 209°, and a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The touchdown point was 59 metres beyond the touchdown zone, and the aircraft touched down at a speed of 124 knots, slightly faster than the recommended speed. However, the touchdown rate of -244 feet per minute was deemed fair, and the runway touchdown position was only 8 metres off-centreline.
The aircraft then entered a runway rollout phase, during which it maintained good alignment, covering a total landing distance of 1,244 metres or 51% of the runway. Upon completion of the rollout phase, the aircraft began taxiing towards the parking bay, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 3 minutes.
The total flight distance covered by the Airbus A320 was 1,397 nautical miles, achieved in a flying time of 251 minutes. The aircraft consumed a significant 8,804 kilograms of fuel during the journey. Overall, the flight demonstrated a smooth execution of various phases, culminating in a safe landing at Manchester Airport (EGCC

On the occasion of the Airbus A320 aircraft landing at EGCC Manchester Airport, the flight crew successfully executed a well-coordinated approach and landing on runway 23R. The approach was initiated from the north-east, tracking a heading of 231.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles (nm) from the airport. At an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level (agl), the aircraft began its descent onto the runway, which spanned a length of 2,434 meters.
During the final approach, the runway threshold height was reported as 'good,' and the crew maintained a threshold speed of 130 knots, adhering to standard operating procedures. The touchdown point was located 59 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the crew touched down at a speed of 124 knots, which was slightly above the desired threshold speed. However, the touchdown rate of -244 feet per minute was considered fair, taking into account the aircraft's weight and other factors influencing the landing.
Notably, the crew demonstrated a good understanding of wind conditions, with wind speeds of 7 knots at 209°, comprising a 3-knot crosswind and a 7-knot headwind. These wind conditions were effectively mitigated during the landing process, which is reflected in the excellent runway rollout alignment performance.
The total landing distance covered a distance of 1,244 meters, amounting to approximately 51% of the runway length. Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed and initial runway touchdown misalignment by 8.0 meters, the overall outcome of the landing was satisfactory. The crew's ability to maintain control and execute a smooth transition onto the runway, along with the favorable weather conditions, contributed to a successful landing at EGCC Manchester Airport.
