Westchester County to Martha'S Vineyard Airport HPN → MVY

141 nautical miles (162 statute miles) east on a straight line, true course 081°, about 094° magnetic at the departure end (variation 13W). At 120 knots that is 39 min at the quickest height in today's winds (39,000 ft, a 95-knot tailwind), arriving about 3:35 pm EDT (19:35 UTC). Right now HPN is IFR, wind from the east (090°) at 8 knots, gusting to 16; MVY is VFR, wind from the southeast (140°) at 8 knots. For planning, not a briefing: the legal preflight briefing comes from Flight Service (1-800-WX-BRIEF) or the FAA's own tools.

The route the straight line, the warnings it crosses, restrictions, pilot reports and the airports along the way · click a mark for its words

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 SIERRA 3E: low cloud or poor visibility (IFR conditions) (due to ceilings below 1,000 ft, visibility below 3 miles, precipitation, mist). Over the first 28 nm of the route.

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 the departure.

Pilot reports along the route within 50 nm of the line, last three hours, the serious ones first

Based on data from the 11th at 12:00 UTC; valid on the 11th 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 route (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. Other speeds: 90 · 110 · 130 · 160 · 200 · 250 · 300 · 420 knots.
