Ontario International to San Antonio International ONT → SAT

1,012 nautical miles (1,164 statute miles) east on a straight line, true course 100°, about 088° magnetic at the departure end (variation 12E). At 120 knots that is 7 h 08 min at the quickest height in today's winds (34,000 ft, a 22-knot tailwind), arriving about 9:13 am CDT (14:13 UTC). Right now ONT is VFR, wind from the south (190°) at 4 knots; SAT is VFR, wind from the south-southeast (160°) at 9 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: 39 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

  • SIGMET C19C: thunderstorms (a convective SIGMET) up to 32,000 ft, moving from the southwest at 25 knots, until 1:55 am PDT (08:55 UTC). Over the route from 635 to 684 nm out.

Turbulence AIRMET in force: moderate turbulence from 18,000 ft to 39,000 ft, over the first 40 nm of the route; AIRMET in force: moderate turbulence up to 14,000 ft, over the route from 40 to 79 nm out. No pilot has reported turbulence near the line in the last three hours. The government's turbulence forecast map ↗

Icing No icing warning in force along the route. No pilot has reported icing near the line in the last three hours. The freezing level is about 14,500 ft (from the winds-aloft temperatures), so icing is possible in cloud above that. The government's icing forecast map ↗

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 ONT.

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

Based on data from the 13th at 00:00 UTC; valid on the 13th 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.

From the FAA's notice service (NOTAMs), the site's copy refreshed every few minutes; last checked 2 minutes ago. The FAA has so far issued eFlight its test feed, which misses some notices (checked against the FAA's own search on 12 October: about a third missing at Santa Barbara and Burbank, none at Atlanta or Las Vegas); the request for the full feed is with the FAA. Times are local to the field. This is for planning; the legal briefing comes from Flight Service or the FAA's own tools.

Daylight

Sunset at ONT 6:17 pm PDT (01:17 UTC), at SAT 7:04 pm CDT (00:04 UTC) (civil twilight ends 7:28 pm CDT (00:28 UTC)).

Each restriction opens the FAA's own page with the exact area, heights and times.

The wind over the route live wind map, from Windy.com · drag the time bar for the coming hours; the level menu changes the height

Colours show wind speed, the moving lines its direction, at the surface unless you pick a height. Map and forecast by Windy.com; a second opinion beside the government's winds-aloft table above.
