Dallas Love Field to Bangor International DAL → BGR
1,484 nautical miles (1,708 statute miles) northeast on a straight line, true course 053°, about 050° magnetic at the departure end (variation 3E). At 120 knots that is 9 h 58 min at the quickest height in today's winds (34,000 ft, a 29-knot tailwind), arriving about 2:04 pm EDT (18:04 UTC). Right now DAL is VFR, wind from the south (170°) at 11 knots, gusting to 20; BGR is VFR, wind from the south (170°) at 3 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 route the straight line, the warnings crossed, restrictions, pilot reports and the airports along the way · click a mark for its words
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 SIERRA 3E: low cloud or poor visibility (IFR conditions) (due to ceilings below 1,000 ft, visibility below 3 miles, precipitation, mist, fog). Over the last 846 nm of the route.
- AIRMET SIERRA 4E: mountains obscured by cloud (due to mountains obscured by clouds, precipitation, mist). Over the route from 976 to 1424 nm out.
- AIRMET TANGO 3W: moderate turbulence above 18,000 ft from 21,000 ft to 33,000 ft. Over the last 269 nm of the route.
- AIRMET ZULU 1C: moderate icing from 12,000 ft to 24,000 ft. Over the route from 1285 to 1414 nm out.
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 DAL.
Pilot reports along the route within 50 nm of the line, last three hours, the serious ones first
- B752 climbing, 17 nm southeast, 2:37 am CDT (07:37 UTC): overcast. 687 nm along the route, 17 nm southeast of the line.

Winds aloft along the route, and the time en route the forecast for use 02:00–09:00 UTC · at 120 knots true airspeed
The eastbound cruising heights for this course (VFR: odd thousands plus 500 ft; above 18,000 ft the forecast levels), with the wind averaged along the line from the 16 forecast points nearest it (DAL, FSM, LIT, CGI, EVV, LOU, CVG, CMH, CLE, AGC, PSB, BUF, SYR, ALB, BML, BGR). A plus sign is a headwind, a minus sign a tailwind.

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.
