Marquette Sawyer Regional to Falls Intl/Einarson Field SAW → INL

278 nautical miles (320 statute miles) northwest on a straight line, true course 301°, about 305° magnetic at the departure end (variation 4W). At 120 knots that is 2 h 08 min at the quickest height in today's winds (4,500 ft, a 10-knot tailwind), arriving about 9:45 pm CDT (02:45 UTC), after sunset at the destination. Right now SAW is low IFR, wind from the northeast (050°) at 8 knots; INL is marginal VFR, wind from the east (080°) at 9 knots, gusting to 18. 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.

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

  • SIGMET C44C: thunderstorms (a convective SIGMET) up to 41,000 ft, moving from the west at 35 knots, until 9:55 pm EDT (01:55 UTC). Over the first 119 nm of the route.

  • AIRMET ZULU 2C: moderate icing up to 22,000 ft. Over the last 20 nm of the route.

Turbulence No turbulence warning in force along the route. A pilot reported smooth air, at 5,000 ft, 20 nm north, 6:54 pm EDT (22:54 UTC). The government's turbulence forecast map ↗

Icing AIRMET in force: moderate icing up to 22,000 ft, over the last 20 nm of the route. A pilot reported no icing, at 5,000 ft, 20 nm north, 6:54 pm EDT (22:54 UTC). The freezing level is about 13,500 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 SAW.

Based on data from the 12th at 18:00 UTC; valid on the 13th at 00:00 UTC for use 20:00 to 03:00 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.

From the FAA's notice service (NOTAMs), the site's copy refreshed every few minutes; last checked 1 minutes ago. 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.

Daylight

Sunset at SAW 7:07 pm EDT (23:07 UTC), at INL 6:28 pm CDT (23:28 UTC) (civil twilight ends 7:00 pm CDT (00:00 UTC)). At 120 knots the arrival at INL is after sunset there (6:30 pm CDT (23:30 UTC)).

Each restriction opens the FAA's own page with the exact area, heights and times.
