The Airbus A320-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 22 at EGAC George Best Belfast City Airport, a movement that lasted 4 minutes and covered 2 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 22, the aircraft accelerated to a take-off distance of 1,257 m, representing 69 % of the runway, and rotated at 140 kt; local weather reported Temperature 20 °C, Wind 13 kt at 179 °, Crosswind 7 kt and Headwind 10 kt.

Climb commenced 1 mile east of Belfast, with the airplane ascending from 944 ft asl to 32,416 ft asl, a gain of 31,473 ft achieved in 17 minutes while covering 121 nm.

The first cruise segment began overhead Hoylake, lasting 8 minutes and traversing 69 nm at level flight.

Descent started 1 mile north of Edingale, where the aircraft reduced altitude from 32,807 ft asl to 4,218 ft asl, a loss of 28,589 ft over 15 minutes and 95 nm.

A second cruise phase was initiated 1 mile north-east of Guilden Morden, lasting 3 minutes and covering 11 nm.

The next descent began 1 mile south of Cottered, with altitude decreasing from 3,636 ft asl to 1,861 ft asl, a reduction of 1,776 ft in 3 minutes across 7 nm.

Final approach to runway 25 at EGGW London Luton Airport involved a descent from 1,388 ft agl to 73 ft agl in 98 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.

Landing on runway 25 was executed with a threshold speed of 147 kt, touchdown occurring 243 m beyond the touchdown zone at 135 kt; the touchdown rate was minus 78 fpm and the touchdown point was misaligned by 12.3 m from centreline. Local weather at the time was Temperature 15 °C, Wind 13 kt at 160 °, Crosswind 13 kt and Tailwind 1 kt. Total landing distance measured 1,796 m, equivalent to 87 % of the runway.

Runway rollout showed a slight misalignment of 13.1 m from centreline as the aircraft decelerated after touchdown.

The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

In total, the flight covered 310 nm, required 57 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 2,431 kg of fuel.
