Worcester Regional to Southwest Florida International ORH → RSW

1,062 nautical miles (1,222 statute miles) southwest on a straight line, true course 210°, about 225° magnetic at the departure end (variation 15W). At 120 knots that is 9 h 45 min at the quickest height in today's winds (4,500 ft, a 11-knot headwind), arriving about 8:49 am EDT (12:49 UTC). Right now ORH is low IFR, wind from the north-northeast (030°) at 9 knots, gusting to 17; RSW 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: 217 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 SIERRA 3E: low cloud or poor visibility (IFR conditions) (due to ceilings below 1,000 ft, visibility below 3 miles, precipitation, mist). Over the first 328 nm of the route.
  • AIRMET ZULU 1C: moderate icing up to 25,000 ft. Over the first 10 nm of the route.
  • AIRMET TANGO 3W: moderate turbulence above 18,000 ft from 21,000 ft to 33,000 ft. Over the first 149 nm of the route.
  • AIRMET TANGO 2W: moderate turbulence below 18,000 ft up to 13,000 ft. Over the first 268 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 ORH.

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.
