Nome Airport to Seattle-Tacoma International OME → SEA

1,722 nautical miles (1,981 statute miles) east on a straight line, true course 106°, about 100° magnetic at the departure end (variation 6E). At 120 knots that is 11 h 48 min at the quickest height in today's winds (39,000 ft, a 26-knot tailwind), arriving about 6:23 am PDT (13:23 UTC), after sunset at the destination. Right now OME is marginal VFR, wind from the southeast (140°) at 12 knots; SEA is VFR, wind from the north (350°) at 11 knots. 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: 7 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.

The return flight

The route the straight line, the warnings crossed, 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 TANGO 1W: moderate turbulence above 18,000 ft from 25,000 ft to 39,000 ft, from 4:00 pm AKDT (00:00 UTC). Over the route from 1652 to 1712 nm out.

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.

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

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.
