Sacramento International to Chicago O'Hare International SMF → ORD

1,544 nautical miles (1,777 statute miles) east on a straight line, true course 072°, about 059° magnetic at the departure end (variation 13E). At 120 knots that is 8 h 29 min at the quickest height in today's winds (39,000 ft, a 62-knot tailwind), arriving about 11:23 am CDT (16:23 UTC). Right now SMF is VFR, wind from the northeast (040°) at 3 knots; ORD is VFR, wind from the southwest (220°) 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: 2,635 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.

The freezing level is about 11,500 ft (from the winds-aloft temperatures), so icing is possible in cloud above that. The government's icing forecast map ↗

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 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 13 forecast points nearest it (SAC, RNO, BAM, ELY, SLC, RKS, DEN, BFF, ONL, OMA, DSM, DBQ, JOT). 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.
