Heber Valley Airport to Bethel Airport HCR → BET
2,195 nautical miles (2,526 statute miles) northwest on a straight line, true course 321°, about 310° magnetic at the departure end (variation 11E). At 120 knots that is 19 h 15 min at the quickest height in today's winds (4,500 ft, a 6-knot headwind), arriving about 8:37 pm AKDT (04:37 UTC), after sunset at the destination. Right now HCR is VFR, wind calm; BET is low IFR, wind from the south-southeast (160°) at 5 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: 127 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.

- AIRMET ZULU 1C: moderate icing up to 22,000 ft. Over the first 220 nm of the route.
- AIRMET TANGO 1W: moderate turbulence above 18,000 ft from 24,000 ft to 36,000 ft. Over the first 0 nm of the route.
- AIRMET TANGO 2W: moderate turbulence below 18,000 ft (due to mountain wave) up to 22,000 ft. Over the first 10 nm of the route.
- AIRMET SIERRA 1E: mountains obscured by cloud (due to mountains obscured by clouds, precipitation, mist). Over the first 269 nm of the route.
- AIRMET SIERRA 11E: low cloud or poor visibility (IFR conditions) (due to ceilings below 1,000 ft, visibility below 3 miles, precipitation, mist). Near the route, 130 nm along the route.
- AIRMET TANGO 1W: moderate turbulence below 18,000 ft from 14,000 ft to 18,000 ft. Over the route from 339 to 389 nm out.
- AIRMET ZULU 2C: moderate icing from 11,000 ft to 18,000 ft. Over the route from 688 to 688 nm out.
Turbulence AIRMET in force: moderate turbulence from 24,000 ft to 36,000 ft, over the first 0 nm of the route; AIRMET in force: moderate turbulence (due to mountain wave) up to 22,000 ft, over the first 10 nm of the route. 1 pilot report of turbulence near the line in the last three hours: moderate turbulence from 23,000 ft to 26,000 ft, 36 nm southwest, 12:48 am MDT (06:48 UTC). The government's turbulence forecast map ↗
Icing AIRMET in force: moderate icing up to 22,000 ft, over the first 220 nm of the route; AIRMET in force: moderate icing from 11,000 ft to 18,000 ft, over the route from 688 to 688 nm out. A pilot reported no icing, at 2,000 ft, 1 nm northeast, 12:44 am MDT (06:44 UTC). The freezing level is about 10,000 ft (from the winds-aloft temperatures), so icing is possible in cloud above that.

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 HCR.

Based on data from the 13th at 06:00 UTC; valid on the 13th at 12:00 UTC for use 08:00 to 15:00 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.

From the FAA's notice service (NOTAMs), the site's copy refreshed every few minutes; last checked a minute ago. The FAA has so far issued eFlight its test feed, which misses some notices (checked against the FAA's own search on 12 October: about a third missing at Santa Barbara and Burbank, none at Atlanta or Las Vegas); the request for the full feed is with the FAA. Times are local to the field. This is for planning; the legal briefing comes from Flight Service or the FAA's own tools.
Daylight
Sunset at HCR 6:47 pm MDT (00:47 UTC), at BET 7:39 pm AKDT (03:39 UTC) (civil twilight ends 8:22 pm AKDT (04:22 UTC)). At 120 knots the arrival at BET is after sunset there (7:42 pm AKDT (03:42 UTC)).
Each restriction opens the FAA's own page with the exact area, heights and times.
