Naples Municipal to Claremore Regional APF → GCM

929 nautical miles (1,069 statute miles) northwest on a straight line, true course 314°, about 317° magnetic at the departure end (variation 3W). At 120 knots that is 8 h 13 min at the quickest height in today's winds (4,500 ft, a 7-knot headwind), arriving about 5:40 am CDT (10:40 UTC), after sunset at the destination. Right now APF is VFR, wind from the northeast (050°) at 5 knots; GCM is VFR, wind from the south (180°) at 8 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: 3 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.

The route the straight line, the warnings crossed, restrictions, pilot reports and the airports along the way · click a mark for its words

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 6W: moderate turbulence above 18,000 ft from 28,000 ft to 40,000 ft. Over the route from 240 to 369 nm out.

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 APF.

Pilot reports along the route within 50 nm of the line, last three hours, the serious ones first

B38M at 31,000 ft, 48 nm southwest, 8:49 pm EDT (00:49 UTC): light chop turbulence above 31,000 ft. 160 nm along the route, 48 nm southwest of the line.

Winds aloft along the route, and the time en route the forecast for use 02:00–09:00 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 7 forecast points nearest it (PIE, TLH, MOB, JAN, LIT, FSM, TUL). A plus sign is a headwind, a minus sign a tailwind.

Based on data from the 12th at 00:00 UTC; valid on the 12th at 06:00 UTC for use 02:00 to 09:00 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.

GCM has no terminal forecast; use the nearest airport that does.

The forecast for APF, the departure

From Sun 8:00 pm EDT (00:00 UTC): wind light and variable, visibility more than 6 miles, a few clouds at 2,500 feet
From Mon 9:00 am EDT (13:00 UTC): wind from the north-northeast at 10 knots, visibility more than 6 miles, a few clouds at 2,500 feet

Temporary flight restrictions on the line or within 25 nm of it

No temporary flight restriction on or near this route right now.

Daylight

Sunset at APF 7:02 pm EDT (23:02 UTC), at GCM 6:50 pm CDT (23:50 UTC) (civil twilight ends 7:15 pm CDT (00:15 UTC)). At 120 knots the arrival at GCM is before sunrise there (7:26 am CDT (12:26 UTC)).

Each restriction opens the FAA's own page with the exact area, heights and times. Ordinary notices to air missions (closed runways, lights out) are not shown: the FAA's notice search is not open to sites like this one at this time.
