Hector International to Hollywood Burbank Airport FAR → BUR

1,237 nautical miles (1,424 statute miles) southwest on a straight line, true course 240°, about 236° 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, a 7-knot headwind), arriving about 6:10 pm PDT (01:10 UTC). Right now FAR is low IFR, wind from the north (010°) at 10 knots; BUR is VFR, wind from the north-northeast (030°) 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.

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.
