Hancock County/Bar Harbor to Wilmington International BHB → ILM

754 nautical miles (867 statute miles) southwest on a straight line, true course 219°, about 238° magnetic at the departure end (variation 19W). At 120 knots that is 5 h 59 min at the quickest height in today's winds (4,500 ft, a 6-knot tailwind), arriving about 2:06 pm EDT (18:06 UTC). Right now BHB is marginal VFR, wind calm; ILM is IFR, wind from the west (260°) at 9 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: 1 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 8 forecast points nearest it (BGR, PWM, BOS, BDL, JFK, ACY, ORF, ILM). A plus sign is a headwind, a minus sign a tailwind.

Based on data from the 12th at 06:00 UTC; valid on the 12th 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.
