Charlotte/Douglas International to Sacramento International CLT → SMF
1,945 nautical miles (2,238 statute miles) west on a straight line, true course 288°, about 295° magnetic at the departure end (variation 7W). At 120 knots that is 18 h 01 min at the quickest height in today's winds (8,500 ft, a 12-knot headwind), arriving about 7:38 pm PDT (02:38 UTC), after sunset at the destination. Right now CLT is VFR, wind calm; SMF is VFR, wind calm. 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: 846 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.

AIRMET in force: low-level wind shear (due to air speed loss or gain of 20 knots or more below 2,000 ft above the ground), over the route from 878 to 918 nm out. 6 pilot reports of turbulence near the line in the last three hours: moderate turbulence, at 20,000 ft, 19 nm north, 3:15 am EDT (07:15 UTC); moderate turbulence from 11,000 ft to 20,000 ft, 39 nm north, 2:06 am EDT (06:06 UTC). The government's turbulence forecast map ↗
Icing AIRMET in force: moderate icing up to 22,000 ft, over the route from 1227 to 1626 nm out. 3 pilot reports of icing near the line in the last three hours: light to moderate rime icing from 10,000 ft to 20,000 ft, 6 nm south, 2:37 am EDT (06:37 UTC); light rime icing from 11,000 ft to 20,000 ft, 39 nm north, 2:06 am EDT (06:06 UTC). The freezing level is about 12,500 ft (from the winds-aloft temperatures), so icing is possible in cloud above that. The government's icing forecast map ↗
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 CLT.

Winds aloft along the route, and the time en route the forecast for use 08:00–15:00 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 (GSP, TYS, BNA, CGI, COU, SGF, MKC, ICT, SLN, GCK, GLD, PUB, DEN, GJT, BCE, ELY, RNO, SAC). A plus sign is a headwind, a minus sign a tailwind.

Based on data from the 13th at 06:00 UTC; valid on the 13th 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.

From the FAA's notice service (NOTAMs), the site's copy refreshed every few minutes; last checked a minute ago. The FAA has so far issued eFlight its test feed, which misses some notices (checked against the FAA's own search on 12 October: about a third missing at Santa Barbara and Burbank, none at Atlanta or Las Vegas); the request for the full feed is with the FAA. Times are local to the field. This is for planning; the legal briefing comes from Flight Service or the FAA's own tools.

Sunset at CLT 6:51 pm EDT (22:51 UTC), at SMF 6:29 pm PDT (01:29 UTC) (civil twilight ends 6:56 pm PDT (01:56 UTC)). At 120 knots the arrival at SMF is after sunset there (6:31 pm PDT (01:31 UTC)).
Each restriction opens the FAA's own page with the exact area, heights and times.
