Mahlon Sweet Field to Tulsa International EUG → TUL
1,333 nautical miles (1,534 statute miles) east on a straight line, true course 101°, about 086° magnetic at the departure end (variation 15E). At 120 knots that is 8 h 46 min at the quickest height in today's winds (34,000 ft, a 32-knot tailwind), arriving about 5:56 pm CDT (22:56 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: 2 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.

Based on data from the 12th at 12:00 UTC; valid on the 12th at 18:00 UTC for use 14:00 to 21:00 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.
