Monterey Regional to Clarence E Page Municipal MRY → RCE

1,165 nautical miles (1,341 statute miles) east on a straight line, true course 086°, about 071° magnetic at the departure end (variation 15E). At 120 knots that is 7 h 06 min at the quickest height in today's winds (34,000 ft, a 44-knot tailwind), arriving about 1:35 am CDT (06:35 UTC), after sunset at the destination. Right now MRY is VFR, wind from the west (260°) at 12 knots; RCE is VFR, wind from the south (180°) at 19 knots, gusting to 28. 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.

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.
