North Central West Virginia Airport to General Edward Lawrence Logan International CKB → BOS

457 nautical miles (526 statute miles) northeast on a straight line, true course 063°, about 071° magnetic at the departure end (variation 8W). At 120 knots that is 2 h 35 min at the quickest height in today's winds (34,000 ft, a 57-knot tailwind), arriving about 3:46 am EDT (07:46 UTC), after sunset at the destination. Right now CKB is IFR, wind from the west (280°) at 3 knots; BOS is IFR, wind from the north-northeast (030°) at 11 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.

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.
