Cape Cod Gateway Airport to Bangor International HYA → BGR
199 nautical miles (229 statute miles) north on a straight line, true course 018°, about 034° magnetic at the departure end (variation 16W). At 120 knots that is 1 h 39 min at the quickest height in today's winds (39,000 ft, a 1-knot tailwind), arriving about 12:37 pm EDT (16:37 UTC). Right now HYA is IFR, wind from the north-northeast (020°) at 12 knots, gusting to 23; BGR is VFR, wind variable 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: 1 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 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 60 nm of the route.
- AIRMET TANGO 3W: moderate turbulence above 18,000 ft from 24,000 ft to 40,000 ft. Over the whole 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 HYA.
Pilot reports along the route within 50 nm of the line, last three hours, the serious ones first
- BCS3 at 5,000 ft, 32 nm south, 9:25 am EDT (13:25 UTC): moderate chop turbulence from 3,000 ft to 5,000 ft. At the departure end, 32 nm south of the line.

The eastbound cruising heights for this course (VFR: odd thousands plus 500 ft; above 18,000 ft the forecast levels), with the wind averaged along the line from the 3 forecast points nearest it (BOS, PWM, BGR). A plus sign is a headwind, a minus sign a tailwind.

Based on data from the 12th at 12:00 UTC; valid on the 12th 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 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.
