Teterboro Airport to Syracuse Hancock International TEB → SYR
164 nautical miles (188 statute miles) northwest on a straight line, true course 327°, about 339° magnetic at the departure end (variation 12W). At 120 knots that is 1 h 08 min at the quickest height in today's winds (4,500 ft, a 25-knot tailwind), arriving about 9:35 pm EDT (01:35 UTC), after sunset at the destination. Right now TEB is IFR, wind from the northeast (050°) at 8 knots, gusting to 16; SYR is VFR, wind from the east-northeast (060°) 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: 12 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.

Based on data from the 11th at 18:00 UTC; valid on the 12th 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.
