The Boeing 737 MAX 8 taxied from the parking area to runway 27 at CYYJ Victoria International Airport, a movement that lasted 5 minutes and covered 1 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 27, the aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 1,220 m, representing 57 % of the runway length, and rotated at 138 kt. Ambient temperature was 9 °C with wind 4 kt from 253°, giving a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt head-wind.

Climb began approximately 1 mile southwest of North Saanich, BC, with the airplane climbing from 982 ft asl to 38,509 ft asl, an increase of 37,528 ft achieved in 21 minutes while covering 145 nm.

Level cruise was established 15 miles southeast of Princeton, BC, and was maintained for 18 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 156 nm.

Descent commenced 24 miles southwest of Invermere, BC, descending from 39,004 ft asl to 4,753 ft asl, a loss of 34,252 ft over 21 minutes and a ground distance of 128 nm.

The final approach to runway 17R at CYYC Calgary International Airport started at 1,252 ft agl and continued to 86 ft agl in 93 seconds; the approach satisfied the stabilisation gates.

Landing on runway 17R, which is 3,853 m long, was executed with a threshold speed of 154 kt, slightly above target. Touchdown occurred 141 m beyond the touchdown zone at 146 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 169 fpm; runway alignment was perfect. Weather at the time was 2 °C with wind 7 kt from 190°, producing a 1 kt cross-wind and a 7 kt head-wind.

The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 1,393 m, equal to 36 % of the runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect.

After landing, the airplane taxied from the runway to the parking area, a movement that took 5 minutes and covered 1 nm.

Overall, the flight covered 439 nm, required 73 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 2,608 kg of fuel.
