Perot Fld/Fort Worth Alliance Airport to Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport AFW → OAK

1,248 nautical miles (1,436 statute miles) west on a straight line, true course 290°, about 286° magnetic at the departure end (variation 4E). At 120 knots that is 11 h 15 min at the quickest height in today's winds (4,500 ft, a 9-knot headwind), arriving about 12:53 pm PDT (19:53 UTC). Right now AFW is VFR, wind from the south (170°) at 12 knots; OAK is VFR, wind calm. 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: 27 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.

Green, blue, red and purple airport dots are the flying conditions reported there now (VFR, marginal VFR, IFR, low IFR); grey means no report. Red areas are SIGMETs, orange areas AIRMETs, hatched red areas temporary flight restrictions. Map tiles: OpenFreeMap, data © OpenStreetMap contributors.

Warnings the route crosses SIGMETs and AIRMETs whose area the line passes through or comes within 25 nm of

AIRMET TANGO 2W: low-level wind shear (due to air speed loss or gain of 20 knots or more below 2,000 ft above the ground). Near the route, 459 nm along the route.
AIRMET SIERRA 1E: mountains obscured by cloud (due to mountains obscured by clouds, precipitation, mist). Over the route from 579 to 629 nm out.

AIRMET in force: low-level wind shear (due to air speed loss or gain of 20 knots or more below 2,000 ft above the ground), near the route, 459 nm along the route. 1 pilot report of turbulence near the line in the last three hours: moderate turbulence, at 35,000 ft, 9 nm north, 3:00 am CDT (08:00 UTC). The government's turbulence forecast map ↗

Icing AIRMET in force: moderate icing up to 22,000 ft, near the route, 759 nm along the route. 1 pilot report of icing near the line in the last three hours: light to moderate rime icing from 10,500 ft to 13,000 ft, 13 nm northeast, 3:04 am CDT (08:04 UTC). The freezing level is about 12,000 ft (from the winds-aloft temperatures), so icing is possible in cloud above that. The government's icing forecast map ↗

A SIGMET warns of weather hazardous to all aircraft; an AIRMET of weather that matters to small aircraft and to flying without instruments. "From 60 to 180 nm out" is measured along the route from AFW.

Winds aloft along the route, and the time en route the forecast for use 08:00–15:00 UTC · at 120 knots true airspeed

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 11 forecast points nearest it (DAL, SPS, LBB, TCC, ABQ, FMN, BCE, LAS, BIH, FAT, SFO). A plus sign is a headwind, a minus sign a tailwind.

Based on data from the 13th at 06:00 UTC; valid on the 13th at 12:00 UTC for use 08:00 to 15:00 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.

From the FAA's notice service (NOTAMs), the site's copy refreshed every few minutes; last checked 1 minutes ago. The FAA has so far issued eFlight its test feed, which misses some notices (checked against the FAA's own search on 12 October: about a third missing at Santa Barbara and Burbank, none at Atlanta or Las Vegas); the request for the full feed is with the FAA. Times are local to the field. This is for planning; the legal briefing comes from Flight Service or the FAA's own tools.

Daylight

Sunset at AFW 6:58 pm CDT (23:58 UTC), at OAK 6:33 pm PDT (01:33 UTC) (civil twilight ends 6:59 pm PDT (01:59 UTC)).

Each restriction opens the FAA's own page with the exact area, heights and times.

The wind over the route live wind map, from Windy.com · drag the time bar for the coming hours; the level menu changes the height

Colours show wind speed, the moving lines its direction, at the surface unless you pick a height. Map and forecast by Windy.com; a second opinion beside the government's winds-aloft table above.
