Okc Will Rogers International to Pullman/Moscow Regional OKC → PUW
1,110 nautical miles (1,278 statute miles) northwest on a straight line, true course 314°, about 310° magnetic at the departure end (variation 4E). At 120 knots that is 9 h 10 min at the quickest height in today's winds (18,000 ft, a 1-knot tailwind), arriving about 9:19 am PDT (16:19 UTC). 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: 4 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.

- AIRMET SIERRA 1E: mountains obscured by cloud (due to mountains obscured by clouds, precipitation, mist). Over the last 555 nm of the route.
- AIRMET ZULU 2C: moderate icing up to 23,000 ft. Over the route from 575 to 932 nm out.
- AIRMET TANGO 5W: strong surface winds (30 knots or more) (due to sustained surface winds greater than 30 knots). Over the route from 575 to 664 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 823 to 1021 nm out.
- AIRMET TANGO 1W: moderate turbulence above 18,000 ft from 18,000 ft to 36,000 ft. Over the route from 872 to 1061 nm out.
- AIRMET ZULU 2C: moderate icing up to 23,000 ft. Over the last 169 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 OKC.

Based on data from the 12th at 00:00 UTC; valid on the 12th at 06:00 UTC for use 02:00 to 09:00 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.
