Dallas-Fort Worth International to Roberts Fld/Redmond Municipal DFW → RDM

1,314 nautical miles (1,512 statute miles) northwest on a straight line, true course 308°, about 304° magnetic at the departure end (variation 4E). At 120 knots that is 10 h 57 min at the quickest height in today's winds (4,500 ft, no wind along the track), arriving about 3:45 am PDT (10:45 UTC), after sunset at the destination. Right now DFW is VFR, wind from the south (190°) at 18 knots, gusting to 23; RDM is VFR, wind from the north-northwest (340°) at 10 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: 64 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.

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 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 11 forecast points nearest it (DAL, SPS, AMA, TCC, PUB, ALS, GJT, SLC, PIH, BOI, RDM). A plus sign is a headwind, a minus sign a tailwind.

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.
