Morgantown Muni/Walter L Bill Hart Field to Boca Raton Airport MGW → BCT

797 nautical miles (917 statute miles) south on a straight line, true course 181°, about 190° magnetic at the departure end (variation 9W). At 120 knots that is 6 h 38 min at the quickest height in today's winds (6,500 ft, no wind along the track), arriving about 2:09 am EDT (06:09 UTC), after sunset at the destination. Right now MGW is VFR, wind from the north-northeast (020°) at 3 knots; BCT is VFR, wind from the northeast (040°) 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.

Winds aloft along the route, and the time en route the forecast for use 20:00–03:00 UTC · at 120 knots true airspeed

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 9 forecast points nearest it (EKN, ROA, RDU, FLO, CHS, SAV, JAX, MLB, MIA). A plus sign is a headwind, a minus sign a tailwind.

Based on data from the 11th at 18:00 UTC; valid on the 12th 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.
