The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A321, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at San Diego International Airport (KSAN). This process took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 27, with the aircraft using 76% of the runway's length to achieve liftoff. The takeoff distance was 1,592 meters, and the liftoff speed was 159 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 24°C temperature and a 10-knot headwind at 280°. The enroute climb started 1 mile west of KSAN and continued for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 132 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 1,041 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 35,987 feet, an increase of 34,946 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 7 miles northwest of the Iron Mountain Pumping Plant Airport (72CL) in Desert Center, California. This phase lasted for 45 minutes and covered a distance of 1,068 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 6 miles northwest of the Dairyview Airport (07MN) in Hadley, Minnesota. The descent took 22 minutes to complete, covering a distance of 124 nautical miles, and resulted in a decrease of 33,855 feet in altitude.
The final approach to runway 12R at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (KMSP) was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 121.0° at an altitude of 1,287 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 3,040 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 146 knots.
The touchdown point was 158 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 138 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -313 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.5 meters from the centerline. Local weather conditions at the time of landing were 19°C temperature and a 14-knot headwind at 60°, with a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,529 meters, which was 50% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.2 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,332 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 95 minutes. The aircraft used 8,661 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, achieving a score of 93.7%. The final approach to runway 12R was initiated from the northwest, heading 121.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,287 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 146 knots. The touchdown point was located 158 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 138 knots was also a bit faster than desired, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -313 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.5 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots at a direction of 60°. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,529 meters was 50% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively normal landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.2 meters from the centerline, which may have resulted from the initial touchdown position being off-center.
Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The aircraft's performance and the crew's handling of the aircraft were satisfactory, considering the weather conditions and the aircraft's capabilities.
