Atlantic City International to Middle Georgia Regional ACY → MCN
598 nautical miles (689 statute miles) southwest on a straight line, true course 230°, about 240° magnetic at the departure end (variation 10W). At 120 knots that is 5 h 48 min at the quickest height in today's winds (6,500 ft, a 17-knot headwind), arriving about 3:53 am EDT (07:53 UTC), after sunset at the destination. Right now ACY is low IFR, wind from the north (360°) at 4 knots; MCN is VFR, wind from the west (270°) at 4 knots. For planning, not a briefing: the legal preflight briefing comes from Flight Service (1-800-WX-BRIEF) or the FAA's own tools. Airlines fly this pair: 17 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.

The westbound cruising heights for this course (VFR: even thousands plus 500 ft; above 18,000 ft the forecast levels), with the wind averaged along the line from the 6 forecast points nearest it (ACY, RIC, RDU, FLO, CAE, ATL). A plus sign is a headwind, a minus sign a tailwind.

Based on data from the 11th at 18:00 UTC; valid on the 12th at 00:00 UTC for use 20:00 to 03:00 UTC; temperatures above 24,000 ft are below zero. Heights are above sea level; a height is left out when the forecast has no wind for it over most of the line (the ground is higher). Ground speed is the airspeed less the headwind; the time en route is for the straight line and ignores climb, descent and routing around weather.
