EL Paso International to Portland International ELP → PDX

1,119 nautical miles (1,288 statute miles) northwest on a straight line, true course 322°, about 314° magnetic at the departure end (variation 8E). At 120 knots that is 9 h 01 min at the quickest height in today's winds (18,000 ft, a 4-knot tailwind), arriving about 9:06 am PDT (16:06 UTC). Right now ELP is VFR, wind from the northeast (050°) at 4 knots; PDX is VFR, wind calm. 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.

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 route from 440 to 490 nm out. 1 pilot report of turbulence near the line in the last three hours: moderate chop turbulence, at 36,000 ft, 20 nm northeast, 10:43 pm MDT (04:43 UTC).

Icing AIRMET in force: moderate icing up to 22,000 ft, over the route from 390 to 670 nm out. No pilot has reported icing near the line in the last three hours. The freezing level is about 9,000 ft (from the winds-aloft temperatures), so icing is possible in cloud above that. 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 ELP.

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 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 9 forecast points nearest it (ELP, ABQ, FMN, BCE, ELY, BAM, LKV, RDM, PDX). A plus sign is a headwind, a minus sign a tailwind.

Based on data from the 13th at 00:00 UTC; valid on the 13th 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.

From the FAA's notice service (NOTAMs), the site's copy refreshed every few minutes; last checked 2 minutes ago. The FAA has so far issued eFlight its test feed, which misses some notices (checked against the FAA's own search on 12 October: about a third missing at Santa Barbara and Burbank, none at Atlanta or Las Vegas); the request for the full feed is with the FAA. Times are local to the field. This is for planning; the legal briefing comes from Flight Service or the FAA's own tools.

Daylight

Sunset at ELP 6:34 pm MDT (00:34 UTC), at PDX 6:26 pm PDT (01:26 UTC) (civil twilight ends 6:56 pm PDT (01:56 UTC)).

Each restriction opens the FAA's own page with the exact area, heights and times.

The wind over the route live wind map, from Windy.com · drag the time bar for the coming hours; the level menu changes the height

Colours show wind speed, the moving lines its direction, at the surface unless you pick a height. Map and forecast by Windy.com; a second opinion beside the government's winds-aloft table above.
