The Airbus A321 taxied from its parking position to runway 30L at KMSP Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport, a movement that lasted 23 minutes and covered 4 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 30L, the aircraft used 2,048 m of runway, representing 67 % of the available length, and lifted off at 157 kt; ambient temperature was 34 °C with a wind of 14 kt from 29°, producing a 14 kt cross-wind and no head-wind component.

Climb commenced 1 mile east of Richfield, Minnesota, with the airplane accelerating from 1,822 ft asl to 33,982 ft asl, an altitude gain of 32,160 ft achieved in 18 minutes while covering 140 nm.

The first cruise segment began 2 miles south-west of 1SD8 Tribitt Airport Albee, South Dakota, and persisted for 27 minutes, during which 624 nm were flown.

Descent phase one started 14 miles south-west of La Barge, Wyoming, descending from 34,025 ft asl to 11,006 ft asl, a loss of 23,020 ft in 10 minutes over a distance of 133 nm.

A brief cruise segment followed, initiating 2 miles north-east of RB36 Great Salt Lake, Salt Lake City, Utah, lasting 2 minutes and covering 10 nm.

The second descent began 2 miles west of Oquirrh, Utah, with the aircraft dropping from 11,010 ft asl to 7,999 ft asl, a reduction of 3,011 ft in 3 minutes while traveling 15 nm.

A subsequent cruise leg started 2 miles west of UT08 Camp Williams Airfield, Saratoga Springs, Utah, lasting 2 minutes and encompassing 7 nm.

Descent three originated 1 mile west of Riverton, Utah, where the airplane fell from 8,022 ft asl to 5,686 ft asl, a decrease of 2,336 ft in 3 minutes across 11 nm.

The final approach to runway 34L at KSLC Salt Lake City International Airport was flown from the south on a heading of 355.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,453 ft agl.

Landing on runway 34L was executed with a threshold speed of 142 kt; touchdown occurred at 365 m down the runway at 140 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 377 fpm and a lateral deviation of 3.1 m from the centreline. The total landing distance recorded was 1,726 m, representing 47 % of the 3,655 m runway, and the rollout alignment was judged very good. Weather at the time was 35 °C with a wind of 10 kt from 350°, giving a 1 kt cross-wind and a 10 kt head-wind component.

Runway rollout proceeded without deviation, maintaining the very good alignment noted at touchdown.

After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to its parking stand, a movement that took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.

In total, the flight covered 950 nm, required 77 minutes from departure to arrival, and consumed -2,235 kg of fuel.
