Orlando International to Yakima Air Trml/Mcallister Field MCO → YKM

2,132 nautical miles (2,454 statute miles) northwest on a straight line, true course 312°, about 318° magnetic at the departure end (variation 6W). At 120 knots that is 18 h 04 min at the quickest height in today's winds (4,500 ft, a 2-knot headwind), arriving about 12:17 pm PDT (19:17 UTC). Right now MCO is VFR, wind from the west-southwest (250°) at 4 knots; YKM is VFR, wind calm. 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 TANGO 6W: moderate turbulence above 18,000 ft from 28,000 ft to 40,000 ft. Over the route from 329 to 448 nm out.
AIRMET TANGO 4W: moderate turbulence above 18,000 ft from 18,000 ft to 36,000 ft. Over the route from 1265 to 1963 nm out.
AIRMET TANGO 4W: moderate turbulence below 18,000 ft up to 18,000 ft. Over the route from 1405 to 1724 nm out.
AIRMET SIERRA 1E: mountains obscured by cloud (due to mountains obscured by clouds, precipitation, mist). Over the route from 1465 to 2042 nm out.
AIRMET TANGO 1W: low-level wind shear (due to air speed loss or gain of 20 knots or more below 2,000 ft above the ground). Over the route from 1475 to 1704 nm out.
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 route from 1574 to 1883 nm out.
AIRMET ZULU 3C: moderate icing up to 22,000 ft. Over the route from 1634 to 1773 nm out.
AIRMET ZULU 2C: moderate icing up to 14,000 ft. Over the route from 1893 to 2102 nm out.

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 MCO.

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 18 forecast points nearest it (MLB, PIE, TLH, CSG, MGM, BHM, MEM, LIT, SGF, ICT, SLN, GRI, GLD, BFF, LND, DLN, LWS, YKM). A plus sign is a headwind, a minus sign a tailwind.

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.
