Chicago O'Hare International to Minneapolis-St Paul Intl/Wold-Chamberlain Airport ORD → MSP

290 nautical miles (334 statute miles) northwest on a straight line, true course 309°, about 312° magnetic at the departure end (variation 3W). At 120 knots that is 2 h 46 min at the quickest height in today's winds (4,500 ft, a 15-knot headwind), arriving about 1:48 pm CDT (18:48 UTC). Right now ORD is VFR, wind from the west-southwest (250°) at 9 knots; MSP is marginal VFR, wind from the northwest (320°) at 10 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: 12,999 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.

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 23,000 ft to 35,000 ft. Over the last 50 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, mist). Near the route, at the destination end.

Turbulence AIRMET in force: moderate turbulence from 23,000 ft to 35,000 ft, over the last 50 nm of the route. 6 pilot reports of turbulence near the line in the last three hours: moderate chop turbulence from 14,000 ft to 16,000 ft, 43 nm south, 10:01 am CDT (15:01 UTC); moderate chop turbulence, at 22,000 ft, 23 nm southwest, 9:09 am CDT (14:09 UTC). The government's turbulence forecast map ↗

Icing No icing warning in force along the route. A pilot reported no icing, at 100 ft, 44 nm northeast, 8:45 am CDT (13:45 UTC). The freezing level is about 13,500 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 ORD.

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

B738 at 18,000 ft, 43 nm south, 10:01 am CDT (15:01 UTC): moderate chop turbulence from 14,000 ft to 16,000 ft, remarks: during the climb. At the departure end, 43 nm south of the line.

Winds aloft along the route, and the time en route the forecast for use 14:00–21:00 UTC · at 120 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 line from the 4 forecast points nearest it (JOT, DBQ, LSE, MSP). A plus sign is a headwind, a minus sign a tailwind.

Based on data from the 13th at 12:00 UTC; valid on the 13th at 18:00 UTC for use 14:00 to 21:00 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 ORD 6:13 pm CDT (23:13 UTC), at MSP 6:31 pm CDT (23:31 UTC) (civil twilight ends 7:01 pm CDT (00:01 UTC)).

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