Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International to Martha'S Vineyard Airport FLL → MVY

1,034 nautical miles (1,190 statute miles) northeast on a straight line, true course 025°, about 031° magnetic at the departure end (variation 6W). At 120 knots that is 6 h 40 min at the quickest height in today's winds (34,000 ft, a 35-knot tailwind), arriving about 3:47 pm EDT (19:47 UTC). Right now FLL is VFR, wind from the north-northwest (330°) at 7 knots; MVY is IFR, wind from the north-northeast (020°) at 11 knots, gusting to 25. 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.

Green, blue, red and purple airport dots are the flying conditions reported there now (VFR, marginal VFR, IFR, low IFR); grey means no report. Red areas are SIGMETs, orange areas AIRMETs, hatched red areas temporary flight restrictions. Map tiles: OpenFreeMap, data © OpenStreetMap contributors.

Warnings the route crosses SIGMETs and AIRMETs whose area the line passes through or comes within 25 nm of

  • SIGMET E41E: thunderstorms (a convective SIGMET) up to 44,000 ft, moving from the west at 10 knots, until 10:55 am EDT (14:55 UTC). Over the route from 109 to 169 nm out.

Winds aloft along the route, and the time en route the forecast for use 08:00–15:00 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 8 forecast points nearest it (MIA, MLB, CHS, ILM, ORF, ACY, JFK, ACK). 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.
