Heber Valley Airport to Nome Airport HCR → OME
2,335 nautical miles (2,687 statute miles) northwest on a straight line, true course 326°, about 315° magnetic at the departure end (variation 11E). At 120 knots that is 19 h 28 min at the quickest height in today's winds (12,500 ft, no wind along the track), arriving about 1:04 pm AKDT (21:04 UTC). Right now HCR is VFR, wind from the south-southwest (210°) at 12 knots, gusting to 17; OME is marginal VFR, wind from the southeast (140°) at 12 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: 3 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
- AIRMET TANGO 1W: low-level wind shear (due to air speed loss or gain of 20 knots or more below 2,000 ft above the ground), from 6:00 pm MDT (00:00 UTC). Over the first 60 nm of the route.
- AIRMET ZULU 3C: moderate icing up to 22,000 ft, from 6:00 pm MDT (00:00 UTC). Over the first 269 nm of the route.
- AIRMET TANGO 4W: moderate turbulence above 18,000 ft from 18,000 ft to 36,000 ft, from 6:00 pm MDT (00:00 UTC). Over the first 389 nm of the route.
- AIRMET TANGO 4W: moderate turbulence below 18,000 ft up to 18,000 ft, from 6:00 pm MDT (00:00 UTC). Over the first 90 nm of the route.
- AIRMET SIERRA 1E: mountains obscured by cloud (due to mountains obscured by clouds, precipitation, mist), from 6:00 pm MDT (00:00 UTC). Over the first 469 nm of the route.
- AIRMET SIERRA 4E: low cloud or poor visibility (IFR conditions) (due to ceilings below 1,000 ft, visibility below 3 miles, precipitation, mist), from 6:00 pm MDT (00:00 UTC). Over the route from 120 to 279 nm out.
- AIRMET ZULU 2C: moderate icing up to 14,000 ft, from 6:00 pm MDT (00:00 UTC). Over the route from 339 to 559 nm out.
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 11th at 18:00 UTC; valid on the 12th at 00:00 UTC for use 20:00 to 03:00 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.
