Martha'S Vineyard Airport to Westchester County MVY → HPN

141 nautical miles (162 statute miles) west on a straight line, true course 263°, about 278° magnetic at the departure end (variation 15W). At 130 knots that is 1 h 02 min at the quickest height in today's winds (4,500 ft, a 7-knot tailwind), arriving about 5:30 pm EDT (21:30 UTC). Right now MVY is VFR, wind from the southeast (130°) at 6 knots; HPN is IFR, wind from the east (090°) at 8 knots, gusting to 17. For planning, not a briefing: the legal preflight briefing comes from Flight Service (1-800-WX-BRIEF) or the FAA's own tools.

The route the straight line, the warnings it crosses, 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 3E: low cloud or poor visibility (IFR conditions) (due to ceilings below 1,000 ft, visibility below 3 miles, precipitation, mist). Over the last 113 nm of the route.
AIRMET ZULU 1C: moderate icing up to 24,000 ft. Over the last 9 nm of the route.

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 the departure.

Pilot reports along the route within 50 nm of the line, last three hours, the serious ones first

E170 at 11,800 ft, 46 nm north, 2:09 pm EDT (18:09 UTC): moderate turbulence. At the departure end, 46 nm north of the line.

Winds aloft along the route, and the time en route the forecast for use 20:00–03:00 UTC · at 130 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 route from the 3 forecast points nearest the line (ACK, BDL, JFK). 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 route (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. Other speeds: 90 · 110 · 130 · 160 · 200 · 250 · 300 · 420 knots.
