Denver International to Rhode Island TF Green International DEN → PVD

1,506 nautical miles (1,733 statute miles) east on a straight line, true course 075°, about 067° magnetic at the departure end (variation 8E). At 120 knots that is 8 h 42 min at the quickest height in today's winds (39,000 ft, a 53-knot tailwind), arriving about 5:13 am EDT (09:13 UTC), after sunset at the destination. Right now DEN is VFR, wind from the south-southeast (160°) at 17 knots, gusting to 23; PVD is IFR, wind from the east-northeast (070°) at 9 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: 346 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.

AIRMET SIERRA 3E: low cloud or poor visibility (IFR conditions) (due to ceilings below 1,000 ft, visibility below 3 miles, precipitation, mist). Over the last 319 nm of the route.
AIRMET TANGO 2W: moderate turbulence below 18,000 ft up to 18,000 ft. Over the last 319 nm of the route.
AIRMET TANGO 2W: 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 1217 to 1336 nm out.
AIRMET ZULU 1C: moderate icing up to 24,000 ft. Over the last 259 nm of the route.

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 DEN.

Winds aloft along the route, and the time en route the forecast for use 20:00–03:00 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 15 forecast points nearest it (DEN, GLD, GRI, OMA, DSM, DBQ, JOT, MKG, FWA, CLE, BUF, AVP, ALB, BDL, BOS). A plus sign is a headwind, a minus sign a tailwind.

Based on data from the 11th at 18:00 UTC; valid on the 12th at 00:00 UTC for use 20:00 to 03:00 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.
