Boulder City Municipal to Warren "Bud" Woods Palmer Municipal BVU → PAQ

2,006 nautical miles (2,308 statute miles) northwest on a straight line, true course 331°, about 320° magnetic at the departure end (variation 11E). At 120 knots that is 17 h 36 min at the quickest height in today's winds (4,500 ft, a 6-knot headwind), arriving about 10:04 am AKDT (18:04 UTC). Right now BVU is VFR, wind from the south-southeast (150°) at 17 knots, gusting to 24; PAQ is marginal VFR, wind from the north-northwest (330°) 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: 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 9 forecast points nearest it (LAS, BIH, ELY, BAM, LKV, RDM, PDX, AST, SEA). 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.
