The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 26L at London Gatwick Airport (EGKK). The takeoff distance was 1,306 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.

As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and a 10-knot wind blowing from 170°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was zero. The enroute climb started overhead Charlwood in Surrey, England, where the aircraft ascended from 1,293 feet above sea level to 16,745 feet above sea level, an increase of 15,451 feet in just 5 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 13 nautical miles.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began overhead Crockham Hill in Kent, England. This phase lasted for 13 minutes and covered a distance of 19 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent from 17,103 feet above sea level to 4,161 feet above sea level, a decrease of 12,942 feet in 8 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 4 nautical miles and took place over Burwash in East Sussex, England.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile east of Heathfield in East Sussex, England. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 3,441 feet above sea level to 2,129 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,312 feet in 2 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 5 nautical miles and took place 1 mile west of Groombridge in East Sussex, England.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Edenbridge in Kent, England. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 26R at EGKK London Gatwick Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 254.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,168 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 26R was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 141 knots. However, the touchdown speed was slightly above the target speed, and the touchdown rate was very hard at -584 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 14°C temperature and a 7-knot wind blowing from 150°, with a crosswind component of 6 knots and a tailwind component of 2 knots.

The total landing distance was 810 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.7 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 65 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 42 minutes. The aircraft used 760 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
