Daytona Beach International to Rhode Island TF Green International DAB → PVD
887 nautical miles (1,021 statute miles) northeast on a straight line, true course 029°, about 034° magnetic at the departure end (variation 5W). At 120 knots that is 4 h 23 min at the quickest height in today's winds (34,000 ft, a 82-knot tailwind), arriving about 8:43 am EDT (12:43 UTC). 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: 210 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
- SIGMET E27E: thunderstorms (a convective SIGMET) up to 35,000 ft, moving from the southwest at 20 knots, until 5:55 am EDT (09:55 UTC). Over the route from 817 to 827 nm out.

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.
