Lakeland Linder International to Tweed/New Haven Airport LAL → HVN
915 nautical miles (1,053 statute miles) northeast on a straight line, true course 027°, about 033° magnetic at the departure end (variation 6W). At 120 knots that is 8 h 02 min at the quickest height in today's winds (39,000 ft, a 6-knot headwind), arriving about 6:16 pm EDT (22:16 UTC), after sunset at the destination. Right now LAL is VFR, wind from the north (360°) at 8 knots; HVN is VFR, wind from the north (350°) at 9 knots, gusting to 19. 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: 309 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.
The route the straight line, the warnings crossed, 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 last 239 nm of the route.
- AIRMET TANGO 3W: moderate turbulence above 18,000 ft from 24,000 ft to 40,000 ft. Over the last 169 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 LAL.
Pilot reports along the route within 50 nm of the line, last three hours, the serious ones first
- B738 at 19,000 ft, 13 nm northwest, 9:48 am EDT (13:48 UTC): moderate turbulence. 50 nm along the route, 13 nm northwest 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 10 forecast points nearest it (PIE, MLB, JAX, SAV, CHS, ILM, RDU, ORF, ACY, JFK). 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.
