Baton Rouge Metro, Ryan Field to Mahlon Sweet Field BTR → EUG

1,719 nautical miles (1,978 statute miles) northwest on a straight line, true course 307°, about 307° magnetic at the departure end (variation 0E). At 120 knots that is 14 h 12 min at the quickest height in today's winds (4,500 ft, a 1-knot tailwind), arriving about 2:11 pm PDT (21:11 UTC). Right now BTR is VFR, wind calm; EUG is VFR, wind from the south-southeast (160°) at 3 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.

AIRMET TANGO 4W: moderate turbulence above 18,000 ft from 18,000 ft to 38,000 ft. Over the route from 810 to 1150 nm out.
AIRMET SIERRA 1E: mountains obscured by cloud (due to mountains obscured by clouds, precipitation, mist). Over the route from 950 to 1399 nm out.
AIRMET ZULU 2C: moderate icing up to 23,000 ft. Over the route from 1030 to 1379 nm out.
AIRMET TANGO 1W: moderate turbulence above 18,000 ft from 18,000 ft to 36,000 ft. Over the route from 1329 to 1439 nm out.
AIRMET TANGO 1W: moderate turbulence above 18,000 ft from 18,000 ft to 39,000 ft. Over the last 210 nm of the route.
AIRMET ZULU 2C: moderate icing up to 23,000 ft. Near the route, 1579 nm along the route.

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 BTR.

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 18 forecast points nearest it (MSY, LCH, SHV, DAL, SPS, OKC, GAG, AMA, GCK, PUB, ALS, GJT, SLC, PIH, BOI, LKV, RDM, OTH). 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.
