136 nautical miles (157 statute miles) southwest on a straight line, true course 217°, about 207° magnetic at the departure end (variation 10E). At 120 knots that is 1 h 31 min at the quickest height in today's winds (10,500 ft, a 30-knot headwind), arriving about 3:09 am MST (10:09 UTC), after sunset at the destination. Right now CNY is VFR, wind calm; PGA is VFR, wind from the east-northeast (060°) at 6 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: 12 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.

Green, blue, red and purple airport dots are the flying conditions reported there now (VFR, marginal VFR, IFR, low IFR); grey means no report. Red areas are SIGMETs, orange areas AIRMETs, hatched red areas temporary flight restrictions. Map tiles: OpenFreeMap, data © OpenStreetMap contributors.
Warnings the route crosses SIGMETs and AIRMETs whose area the line passes through or comes within 25 nm of
- AIRMET ZULU 1C: moderate icing up to 22,000 ft. Over the whole route.
- AIRMET TANGO 1W: moderate turbulence above 18,000 ft (due to mountain wave) from 34,000 ft to 45,000 ft. Over the whole route.
- AIRMET TANGO 2W: moderate turbulence below 18,000 ft (due to mountain wave) up to 22,000 ft. Over the whole route.
- AIRMET SIERRA 1E: mountains obscured by cloud (due to mountains obscured by clouds, precipitation, mist). Over the last 97 nm of the route.
- AIRMET TANGO 3W: 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 last 19 nm of the route.
Turbulence AIRMET in force: moderate turbulence (due to mountain wave) from 34,000 ft to 45,000 ft, over the whole route; AIRMET in force: moderate turbulence (due to mountain wave) up to 22,000 ft, over the whole route. 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 last 19 nm of the route. 1 pilot report of turbulence near the line in the last three hours: light to moderate turbulence, at 10,000 ft, 48 nm east, 12:37 am MDT (06:37 UTC). The government's turbulence forecast map ↗
Icing AIRMET in force: moderate icing up to 22,000 ft, over the whole route. 2 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, 48 nm east, 12:37 am MDT (06:37 UTC); light to moderate rime icing from 10,500 ft to 13,000 ft, 21 nm south, 2:04 am MDT (08:04 UTC). The freezing level is below 10,500 ft, the lowest forecast height, so any cloud could carry ice. 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 CNY.

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 2 forecast points nearest it (GJT, BCE). 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.
