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.

The eastbound cruising heights for this course (VFR: odd thousands plus 500 ft; above 18,000 ft the forecast levels), with the wind averaged along the line from the 10 forecast points nearest it (FAT, BIH, LAS, BCE, FMN, ALS, TCC, AMA, GAG, OKC). 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.
