San Francisco International to St. Paul Downtown Holman Field SFO → STP

1,385 nautical miles (1,594 statute miles) northeast on a straight line, true course 062°, about 048° magnetic at the departure end (variation 14E). At 120 knots that is 7 h 47 min at the quickest height in today's winds (34,000 ft, a 58-knot tailwind), arriving about 1:28 pm CDT (18:28 UTC). Right now SFO is VFR, wind from the northwest (310°) at 5 knots; STP is marginal VFR, wind from the north-northwest (330°) at 8 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: 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.

Turbulence AIRMET in force: moderate turbulence from 18,000 ft to 39,000 ft, over the route from 90 to 568 nm out; AIRMET in force: moderate turbulence from 14,000 ft to 18,000 ft, over the route from 110 to 249 nm out. A pilot reported smooth air, at 33,000 ft, 29 nm north, 1:23 am PDT (08:23 UTC). The government's turbulence forecast map ↗

Icing AIRMET in force: moderate icing up to 22,000 ft, over the route from 319 to 986 nm out. No pilot has reported icing near the line in the last three hours. The freezing level is about 10,000 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 SFO.

The eastbound cruising heights for this course (VFR: odd thousands plus 500 ft; above 18,000 ft the forecast levels), with the wind averaged along the line from the 14 forecast points nearest it (SFO, SAC, RNO, BAM, ELY, SLC, RKS, LND, BFF, RAP, PIR, FSD, AXN, MSP). A plus sign is a headwind, a minus sign a tailwind.

Based on data from the 13th at 06:00 UTC; valid on the 13th at 12:00 UTC for use 08:00 to 15:00 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 SFO 6:33 pm PDT (01:33 UTC), at STP 6:31 pm CDT (23:31 UTC) (civil twilight ends 7:00 pm CDT (00:00 UTC)).

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

The wind over the route live wind map, from Windy.com · drag the time bar for the coming hours; the level menu changes the height

Colours show wind speed, the moving lines its direction, at the surface unless you pick a height. Map and forecast by Windy.com; a second opinion beside the government's winds-aloft table above.
