Mbs International to Pellston Rgnl/Emmet County MBS → PLN
126 nautical miles (145 statute miles) north on a straight line, true course 346°, about 353° magnetic at the departure end (variation 7W). At 120 knots that is 1 h at the quickest height in today's winds (4,500 ft, a 7-knot tailwind), arriving about 8:02 pm EDT (00:02 UTC), after sunset at the destination. Right now MBS is VFR, wind from the southwest (220°) at 6 knots; PLN is IFR, wind from the east (090°) at 11 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.
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 4E: low cloud or poor visibility (IFR conditions) (due to ceilings below 1,000 ft, visibility below 3 miles, precipitation, mist). Over the last 10 nm of the route.
Turbulence No turbulence warning in force along the route. A pilot reported smooth air, at 8,700 ft, 45 nm west, 4:58 pm EDT (20:58 UTC). The government's turbulence forecast map ↗
Icing No icing warning in force along the route. A pilot reported no icing, at 8,500 ft, 11 nm southwest, 6:39 pm EDT (22:39 UTC). The freezing level is about 13,500 ft (from the winds-aloft temperatures), so icing is possible in cloud above that. The government's icing forecast map ↗
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 MBS.
Pilot reports along the route within 50 nm of the line, last three hours, the serious ones first
- BE9L at 8,500 ft, 11 nm southwest, 6:39 pm EDT (22:39 UTC): no icing, 9 °C. 78 nm along the route, 11 nm southwest of the line.

The westbound cruising heights for this course (VFR: even thousands plus 500 ft; above 18,000 ft the forecast levels), with the wind averaged along the line from the 1 forecast point nearest it (TVC). A plus sign is a headwind, a minus sign a tailwind.

Based on data from the 12th at 18:00 UTC; valid on the 13th at 00:00 UTC for use 20:00 to 03:00 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.
