Hagerstown Rgnl/Richard A Henson Field to Orlando Sanford International HGR → SFB
679 nautical miles (781 statute miles) south on a straight line, true course 196°, about 207° magnetic at the departure end (variation 11W). At 120 knots that is 5 h 29 min at the quickest height in today's winds (6,500 ft, a 4-knot tailwind), arriving about 4:10 am EDT (08:10 UTC), after sunset at the destination. Right now HGR is IFR, wind from the north (350°) at 9 knots; SFB is VFR, wind from the west (270°) at 4 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: 241 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.

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 (PSB, RIC, RDU, FLO, CHS, SAV, JAX, MLB). 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.
