Portsmouth International AT Pease to Austin-Bergstrom International PSM → AUS

1,497 nautical miles (1,723 statute miles) west on a straight line, true course 248°, about 264° magnetic at the departure end (variation 16W). At 120 knots that is 13 h 01 min at the quickest height in today's winds (4,500 ft, a 5-knot headwind), arriving about 10:42 am CDT (15:42 UTC). Right now PSM is IFR, wind from the northeast (050°) at 3 knots; AUS is VFR, wind from the south-southeast (150°) 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: 2 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.

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