San Bernardino International to Ted Stevens Anchorage International SBD → ANC
2,055 nautical miles (2,365 statute miles) northwest on a straight line, true course 332°, about 319° magnetic at the departure end (variation 13E). At 120 knots that is 17 h 52 min at the quickest height in today's winds (4,500 ft, a 5-knot headwind), arriving about 5:46 pm AKDT (01:46 UTC). Right now SBD is VFR, wind calm; ANC is VFR, wind from the east (080°) at 7 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: 6 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 TANGO 1W: moderate turbulence above 18,000 ft from 18,000 ft to 39,000 ft. Over the first 429 nm of the route.
- AIRMET TANGO 5W: moderate turbulence below 18,000 ft from 14,000 ft to 18,000 ft. Over the route from 190 to 279 nm out.
- AIRMET SIERRA 2E: low cloud or poor visibility (IFR conditions) (due to ceilings below 1,000 ft, visibility below 3 miles, mist). Over the route from 658 to 708 nm out.
Turbulence AIRMET in force: moderate turbulence from 18,000 ft to 39,000 ft, over the first 429 nm of the route; AIRMET in force: moderate turbulence from 14,000 ft to 18,000 ft, over the route from 190 to 279 nm out. 3 pilot reports of turbulence near the line in the last three hours: moderate turbulence from 11,000 ft to 17,000 ft, 47 nm northeast, 10:18 pm PDT (05:18 UTC); moderate turbulence from 11,000 ft to 20,000 ft, 47 nm northeast, 11:06 pm PDT (06:06 UTC). The government's turbulence forecast map ↗
Icing No icing warning in force along the route. 3 pilot reports of icing near the line in the last three hours: moderate rime icing from 10,500 ft to 14,000 ft, 47 nm northeast, 10:21 pm PDT (05:21 UTC); light rime icing from 12,000 ft to 14,000 ft, 47 nm northeast, 10:18 pm PDT (05:18 UTC). The freezing level is about 10,500 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 SBD.

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 10 forecast points nearest it (ONT, WJF, FAT, SAC, RNO, RBL, SIY, OTH, AST, SEA). A plus sign is a headwind, a minus sign a tailwind.

Based on data from the 13th at 00:00 UTC; valid on the 13th 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.

From the FAA's notice service (NOTAMs), the site's copy refreshed every few minutes; last checked 2 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.

Sources: the Aviation Weather Center's data service (SIGMETs, AIRMETs, graphical AIRMETs, pilot reports, winds and temperatures aloft, observations and terminal forecasts), the National Weather Service radar, the Weather Prediction Center's charts, the FAA's temporary flight restriction list and shapes, and the FAA's airport file for the positions, elevations and magnetic variation. Fetched when the page is viewed and kept a few minutes. Each leg is the straight line between its two airports; airways, terrain and airspace are not considered. The airports in detail: San Bernardino International, Ted Stevens Anchorage International.
