Climb commenced one mile west of KOAK, with the aircraft ascending from 985 ft asl to 34,894 ft asl, a gain of 33,908 ft achieved in 16 minutes while covering 98 nm.

The first cruise segment began 16 nm south of Carmel-by-the-Sea, lasting five minutes and traversing 38 nm at level flight.

A descent started 18 nm southwest of KHGT (Hunter Liggett), dropping from 35,010 ft asl to 7,047 ft asl, a loss of 27,963 ft in 16 minutes over 105 nm.

A subsequent cruise leg originated 7 nm northeast of 0CA3 Crawford Airport, persisted for two minutes and covered five nautical miles.

The next descent began 10 nm east of 0CA3 Crawford Airport, reducing altitude from 6,969 ft asl to 5,994 ft asl, a decrease of 975 ft in two minutes while traveling four nautical miles.

Following that, a cruise segment started eight nautical miles north of Mission Canyon, lasted three minutes and spanned eight nautical miles.

Descent resumed four nautical miles north of Montecito, with the aircraft descending from 5,990 ft asl to 4,015 ft asl, a loss of 1,975 ft in two minutes across four nautical miles.

Another cruise phase began two nautical miles northwest of Montecito, continued for five minutes and covered twelve nautical miles.

The final descent of the en-route portion started two nautical miles north of Montecito, bringing the aircraft from 3,990 ft asl to 1,966 ft asl, a reduction of 2,024 ft in three minutes over seven nautical miles.
