Phoenix Sky Harbor International to Corvallis Municipal PHX → CVO
846 nautical miles (973 statute miles) northwest on a straight line, true course 325°, about 313° magnetic at the departure end (variation 12E). At 120 knots that is 6 h 43 min at the quickest height in today's winds (39,000 ft, a 6-knot tailwind), arriving about 2:23 pm PDT (21:23 UTC). Right now PHX is VFR, wind from the south-southeast (160°) at 7 knots; CVO is low IFR, 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: 1 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.

Based on data from the 12th at 12:00 UTC; valid on the 12th 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.
