Fort Worth Meacham International to Ogden-Hinckley Airport FTW → OGD

862 nautical miles (992 statute miles) northwest on a straight line, true course 310°, about 302° magnetic at the departure end (variation 8E). At 120 knots that is 7 h 07 min at the quickest height in today's winds (8,500 ft, a 1-knot tailwind), arriving about 3:48 pm MDT (21:48 UTC). Right now FTW is marginal VFR, wind from the southeast (130°) at 6 knots; OGD 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: 1 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.

Winds aloft along the route, and the time en route the forecast for use 14:00–21:00 UTC · at 120 knots true airspeed

The westbound cruising heights for this course (VFR: even 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 (DAL, SPS, AMA, TCC, PUB, ALS, GJT, SLC). A plus sign is a headwind, a minus sign a tailwind.

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.
