Provincetown Municipal to Laconia Municipal PVC → LCI

104 nautical miles (120 statute miles) northwest on a straight line, true course 330°, about 346° magnetic at the departure end (variation 16W). At 120 knots that is 47 min at the quickest height in today's winds (4,500 ft, a 14-knot tailwind), arriving about 4:14 am EDT (08:14 UTC), after sunset at the destination. Right now PVC is marginal VFR, wind from the east-northeast (070°) at 15 knots, gusting to 24; LCI is 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.

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 whole route.
AIRMET TANGO 4W: low-level wind shear (due to air speed loss or gain of 20 knots or more below 2,000 ft above the ground). Near the route, at the departure end.
AIRMET TANGO 3W: moderate turbulence above 18,000 ft from 21,000 ft to 33,000 ft. Over the whole route.
AIRMET TANGO 2W: moderate turbulence below 18,000 ft up to 10,000 ft. Over the whole route.
AIRMET ZULU 1C: moderate icing up to 22,000 ft. Over the last 76 nm of the route.
AIRMET SIERRA 4E: mountains obscured by cloud (due to mountains obscured by clouds, precipitation, mist). Over the last 9 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 PVC.

Winds aloft along the route, and the time en route the forecast for use 02:00–09:00 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 2 forecast points nearest it (BOS, PWM). A plus sign is a headwind, a minus sign a tailwind.

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.

No temporary flight restriction on or near this route right now.

Daylight

Sunset at PVC 6:04 pm EDT (22:04 UTC), at LCI 6:07 pm EDT (22:07 UTC) (civil twilight ends 6:36 pm EDT (22:36 UTC)). At 120 knots the arrival at LCI is before sunrise there (6:55 am EDT (10:55 UTC)).

Each restriction opens the FAA's own page with the exact area, heights and times. Ordinary notices to air missions (closed runways, lights out) are not shown: the FAA's notice search is not open to sites like this one at this time.
