San Francisco International Airport (KSFO) served as the departure point for the flight, where the aircraft began taxiing from the parking area to runway 28L. The taxi phase lasted 23 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles before the aircraft rolled onto the runway. The takeoff roll required 5,956 feet, representing 54 % of the available runway length, and the liftoff speed was 163 knots. Local weather conditions at departure were 66 °F with a 5‑kt wind from 293°, providing a 5‑kt headwind and no crosswind component.

After liftoff, the aircraft climbed from 1,006 ft above sea level to 35,516 ft, an increase of 34,510 ft over 36 minutes while covering 171 nm. The climb was followed by a level cruise that began 4 miles west of CA04 Flying N Ranch Airport in Cottonwood, California, lasting 25 minutes and covering 165 nm. Descent commenced 13 miles southwest of 3S6 Toketee State Airport in Clearwater, Oregon, where the aircraft descended from 35,985 ft to 5,001 ft, a decrease of 30,984 ft in 30 minutes over 146 nm. Subsequent level cruise segments included a 5‑minute, 10 nm segment 2 miles southwest of OR72 Fly JLA Airport in Boring, Oregon, and a 6‑minute, 9 nm segment 2 miles north of 6OR7 Schmidt Airport in Boring, Oregon. Descent phases followed each cruise: a 3‑minute, 6 nm descent from 5,015 ft to 2,018 ft 1 mile east of OR50 Lehman Field in Corbett, Oregon, and a final descent from 2,018 ft to 2,018 ft (no change) over 6 nm.

The final approach to runway 28L at Portland International Airport (KPDX) was conducted from the southeast, with a heading of 299.0° at 4 nm and 1,232 ft above ground level. Landing on the 10,986‑foot runway, the threshold speed was 138 kt and the touchdown speed 135 kt, with a touchdown distance of 914 ft and a touchdown rate of –367 fpm. The total landing distance was 2,859 ft, representing 26 % of the runway. Post‑landing taxi to the parking area took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. The entire flight covered 516 nm, lasted 122 minutes, and consumed 7,629 lbs of fuel.
