Westchester County to Lee Airport HPN → ANP
183 nautical miles (211 statute miles) southwest on a straight line, true course 227°, about 240° magnetic at the departure end (variation 13W). At 120 knots that is 1 h 46 min at the quickest height in today's winds (4,500 ft, a 16-knot headwind), arriving about 10:14 pm EDT (02:14 UTC), after sunset at the destination. 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: 2 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.

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.
