The Airbus A330-900 commenced its enroute descent from a cruising altitude, initiating a gradual descent from 4 feet above sea level (asl) to 3 feet asl, a decrease of 1 foot in just 1 minute, while covering less than 1 nautical mile (nm). This initial descent phase was followed by an enroute climb, where the aircraft ascended from 3 feet asl to 2,370 feet asl, an increase of 2,367 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nm. The climb phase concluded near Vijfhuizen, Provincie Noord-Holland, The Netherlands.
Following the climb, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude of 2,370 feet asl for 2 minutes while covering 3 nm. This cruise phase was short-lived, as the aircraft soon began another enroute descent from 2,300 feet asl to 1,227 feet asl, a decrease of 1,073 feet in 2 minutes, covering 3 nm. This descent phase concluded near Hofgeest, Provincie Noord-Holland, The Netherlands. The aircraft then initiated its final approach to runway 18C at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, descending from 1,221 feet agl while maintaining a heading of 181.0° at 4 nm.
The Airbus A330-900 landed safely on runway 18C, which has a length of 2,847 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 149 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 172 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 148 knots. The touchdown rate was hard at -494 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 11°C, wind at 25 knots from 180°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 25 knots. The total flight distance was 17 nm, covering a distance of 5 minutes, and the aircraft consumed 668 kg of fuel.

The aircraft touched down on runway 18C at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 149 kt, indicating a slight increase in power during the final stages of the approach. The touchdown distance of 172 m was within acceptable limits, demonstrating good control and precision during the landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was a little fast at 148 kt, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -494 fpm. This may have been due to the slight excess speed at threshold, which was not fully dissipated during the rollout. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 m from the centreline, which may have been a result of the crosswind component of 1 kt. Despite this, the overall touchdown characteristics were satisfactory.
The aircraft's rollout was uneventful, with the pilot maintaining control and aligning the aircraft with the centreline. The landing was completed successfully, with the aircraft coming to a stop within the designated runway area. The overall score for the landing was 95.4%, reflecting the good approach quality, acceptable touchdown characteristics, and satisfactory rollout. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 11 °C and a headwind of 25 kt, did not significantly impact the landing.
