Departing from YBCG Gold Coast Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 14, it was cleared for departure, and with a takeoff distance of 5,215 feet, which equated to 78% of the runway length, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 151 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 73°F, with a wind of 6 knots at 199°, resulting in a 5-knot crosswind and a 4-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the Gold Coast, it began its enroute climb phase, which started overhead Tweed Heads West. The aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 966 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 37,653 feet, an increase of 36,686 feet, in just 17 minutes, covering a distance of 111 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase followed, commencing 18 miles east of Deepwater, and lasted for 27 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 172 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 5 miles north of Muscle Creek, where the aircraft descended from 38,030 feet to 1,290 feet, a decrease of 36,740 feet, in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 102 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport, it began its final approach to runway 16R from the north, heading 168.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,265 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 135 knots, and a touchdown distance of 580 feet, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 134 knots, but the touchdown rate was firm at -366 feet per minute. The aircraft touched down 12 feet off the centerline, and during the rollout, it remained slightly misaligned by 25 feet from the centerline. After taxiing to the parking area, the aircraft had completed a total flight distance of 394 nautical miles, using 6,492 pounds of fuel, and had taken a total of 76 minutes to complete the journey.

The aircraft touched down on runway 16R at YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport with a threshold height that met the desired standards. The approach quality was good, with a heading of 168.0° from 4 nautical miles north at 1,265 feet above ground level. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 135 knots, which may have contributed to a slightly fast touchdown speed of 134 knots. The touchdown distance of 580 feet was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -366 feet per minute was firm.
The aircraft's touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 12 feet, which may have been a result of the slightly fast touchdown speed. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 25 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 68°F and a wind of 6 knots at 80°, did not significantly impact the landing. The crosswind component was 6 knots, and the headwind component was negligible.
The overall performance of the landing was good, with a score of 95.7%. The total landing distance of 4,400 feet was 35% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The landing was completed safely, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and alignment during the rollout phase.
