Norfolk International to Los Angeles International ORF → LAX
2,056 nautical miles (2,366 statute miles) west on a straight line, true course 278°, about 287° magnetic at the departure end (variation 9W). At 120 knots that is 19 h 46 min at the quickest height in today's winds (6,500 ft, a 16-knot headwind), arriving about 11:28 pm PDT (06:28 UTC), after sunset at the destination. Right now ORF is VFR, wind from the west-southwest (250°) at 3 knots; LAX is VFR, wind calm. 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: 54 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.

- AIRMET TANGO 3W: low-level wind shear (due to air speed loss or gain of 20 knots or more below 2,000 ft above the ground), from 5:00 am EDT (09:00 UTC). Near the route, 1707 nm along the route.

Turbulence AIRMET in force: moderate turbulence (due to mountain wave) up to 22,000 ft, over the route from 1357 to 1787 nm out; AIRMET in force: moderate turbulence from 24,000 ft to 36,000 ft, over the route from 1647 to 1837 nm out. AIRMET in force: low-level wind shear (due to air speed loss or gain of 20 knots or more below 2,000 ft above the ground), over the route from 689 to 1427 nm out. 1 pilot report of turbulence near the line in the last three hours: severe turbulence, at 16,000 ft, 22 nm north, 4:05 am EDT (08:05 UTC). 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 14,000 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 ORF.

Winds aloft along the route, and the time en route the forecast for use 08:00–15:00 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 19 forecast points nearest it (ORF, RIC, ROA, TRI, LOU, EVV, CGI, STL, SGF, TUL, ICT, GAG, GCK, TCC, ALS, FMN, PRC, BLH, ONT). A plus sign is a headwind, a minus sign a tailwind.

Based on data from the 13th at 06:00 UTC; valid on the 13th at 12:00 UTC for use 08:00 to 15:00 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.

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.
