Republic Airport to Charleston Executive FRG → JZI

577 nautical miles (664 statute miles) southwest on a straight line, true course 215°, about 229° magnetic at the departure end (variation 14W). At 120 knots that is 3 h 46 min at the quickest height in today's winds (30,000 ft, a 33-knot tailwind), arriving about 2:00 pm EDT (18:00 UTC). Right now FRG is VFR, wind from the north (010°) at 9 knots; JZI is VFR, wind from the northwest (310°) at 10 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.

The return flight

The route the straight line, the warnings crossed, restrictions, pilot reports and the airports along the way · click a mark for its words

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

  • AIRMET SIERRA 3E: low cloud or poor visibility (IFR conditions) (due to ceilings below 1,000 ft, visibility below 3 miles, precipitation, mist). Over the first 179 nm of the route.
  • AIRMET TANGO 3W: moderate turbulence above 18,000 ft from 24,000 ft to 40,000 ft. Over the first 109 nm of the route.

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 FRG.

Pilot reports along the route within 50 nm of the line, last three hours, the serious ones first

  • M700 at 1,800 ft, 40 nm north, 10:02 am EDT (14:02 UTC): a broken layer above 1,900 ft. At the departure end, 40 nm north of the line.

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.
