Long Beach (Daugherty Field) to Provo Municipal LGB → PVU
492 nautical miles (567 statute miles) northeast on a straight line, true course 037°, about 023° magnetic at the departure end (variation 14E). At 120 knots that is 2 h 39 min at the quickest height in today's winds (30,000 ft, a 66-knot tailwind), arriving about 5:41 am MDT (11:41 UTC), after sunset at the destination. Right now LGB is marginal VFR, wind calm; PVU is VFR, wind from the east (090°) at 4 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.

Based on data from the 12th at 06:00 UTC; valid on the 12th at 12:00 UTC for use 08:00 to 15:00 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.
