Nome Airport to Heber Valley Airport OME → HCR

2,335 nautical miles (2,687 statute miles) east on a straight line, true course 101°, about 095° magnetic at the departure end (variation 6E). At 120 knots that is 15 h 40 min at the quickest height in today's winds (39,000 ft, a 29-knot tailwind), arriving about 11:16 am MDT (17:16 UTC). Right now OME is marginal VFR, wind from the southeast (140°) at 12 knots; HCR is VFR, wind from the south-southwest (210°) at 12 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. Airlines fly this pair: 3 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.

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 ZULU 2C: moderate icing up to 14,000 ft, from 4:00 pm AKDT (00:00 UTC). Over the route from 1776 to 1996 nm out.
AIRMET SIERRA 1E: mountains obscured by cloud (due to mountains obscured by clouds, precipitation, mist), from 4:00 pm AKDT (00:00 UTC). Over the last 469 nm of the route.
AIRMET TANGO 4W: moderate turbulence above 18,000 ft from 18,000 ft to 36,000 ft, from 4:00 pm AKDT (00:00 UTC). Over the last 389 nm of the route.
AIRMET SIERRA 4E: low cloud or poor visibility (IFR conditions) (due to ceilings below 1,000 ft, visibility below 3 miles, precipitation, mist), from 4:00 pm AKDT (00:00 UTC). Over the route from 2056 to 2215 nm out.
AIRMET ZULU 3C: moderate icing up to 22,000 ft, from 4:00 pm AKDT (00:00 UTC). Over the last 269 nm of the route.
AIRMET TANGO 4W: moderate turbulence below 18,000 ft up to 18,000 ft, from 4:00 pm AKDT (00:00 UTC). Over the last 90 nm of the route.
AIRMET TANGO 1W: low-level wind shear (due to air speed loss or gain of 20 knots or more below 2,000 ft above the ground), from 4:00 pm AKDT (00:00 UTC). Over the last 60 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 OME.

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 8 forecast points nearest it (OME, UNK, MCG, TKA, GKN, YAK, JNU, ANN). 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.
