Bishop International to Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International FNT → FLL
1,030 nautical miles (1,185 statute miles) south on a straight line, true course 169°, about 175° magnetic at the departure end (variation 6W). At 120 knots that is 7 h 28 min at the quickest height in today's winds (24,000 ft, a 18-knot tailwind), arriving about 6:02 am EDT (10:02 UTC), after sunset at the destination. Right now FNT is marginal VFR, wind from the south (170°) at 3 knots; FLL 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: 37 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.

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 10 forecast points nearest it (CLE, CMH, CRW, TRI, GSP, CAE, SAV, JAX, MLB, MIA). A plus sign is a headwind, a minus sign a tailwind.

Based on data from the 12th at 00:00 UTC; valid on the 12th 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.
