The Curtiss JN-4D taxied to runway 33 at KPNE Northeast Philadelphia Airport and commenced the departure roll, achieving a takeoff distance of 1,111 ft (22 % of the runway) and lifting off at 48 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 60 °F, wind 2 kt from 270°, with a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component.

After departure, the aircraft entered a level cruise segment that began overhead KPNE and continued for 23 minutes, covering a distance of 26 nm.

The first descent phase started when the aircraft passed overhead Princeton Meadows, New Jersey, descending from 2,107 ft asl to 1,585 ft asl - a loss of 522 ft - over a period of 2 minutes while traveling 2 nm.

Subsequently, a second level cruise commenced approximately 1 mile north of Cranbury, New Jersey, lasting 32 minutes and encompassing 38 nm of flight.

The next descent began over Broad Channel, New York, with the aircraft dropping from 1,390 ft asl to 195 ft asl, a reduction of 1,194 ft in 2 minutes and covering 3 nm.

For the final approach to runway 31L at KJFK John F. Kennedy International Airport, the aircraft descended from 269 ft agl to 18 ft agl in 65 seconds and was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.

Landing on runway 31L was completed with a runway length of 11,234 ft; the threshold speed was 41 kt, touchdown distance measured 51 ft, touchdown speed was 40 kt, and the vertical speed at touchdown was minus 268 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good, and local weather reported a temperature of 59 °F, wind 2 kt from 270°, with a 1 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind component. The total landing distance recorded was 440 ft (4 % of the runway), and rollout alignment was very good.

During rollout the aircraft traveled the 440 ft landing distance while maintaining excellent alignment with the runway centreline.

In total, the flight covered 70 nm, required 61 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 54 lb of fuel.
