Cape Cod Gateway Airport to Van Nuys Airport HYA → VNY

2,296 nautical miles (2,642 statute miles) west on a straight line, true course 275°, about 291° magnetic at the departure end (variation 16W). At 120 knots that is 22 h 17 min at the quickest height in today's winds (4,500 ft, a 17-knot headwind), arriving about 6:54 pm PDT (01:54 UTC), after sunset at the destination. Right now HYA is IFR, wind from the east-southeast (110°) at 10 knots, gusting to 25; VNY is VFR, wind from the south-southwest (210°) at 7 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.

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.
