Teller Airport to San Francisco International TER → SFO
2,253 nautical miles (2,593 statute miles) southeast on a straight line, true course 115°, about 106° magnetic at the departure end (variation 9E). At 120 knots that is 15 h 52 min at the quickest height in today's winds (39,000 ft, a 22-knot tailwind), arriving about 10:13 am PDT (17:13 UTC). Right now TER is VFR, wind from the east (100°) at 7 knots; SFO is VFR, wind from the west-southwest (240°) at 13 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: 32 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.
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
- AIRMET TANGO 1W: moderate turbulence above 18,000 ft from 25,000 ft to 39,000 ft. Over the route from 1864 to 2124 nm out.
- AIRMET TANGO 2W: strong surface winds (30 knots or more) (due to sustained surface winds greater than 30 knots). Over the route from 1934 to 2054 nm out.
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 TER.
Pilot reports along the route within 50 nm of the line, last three hours, the serious ones first
- BE20 at 800 ft, 29 nm south, 3:49 pm AKDT (23:49 UTC): remarks: zan. At the departure end, 29 nm south of the line.

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 8 forecast points nearest it (OME, UNK, MCG, ANC, HOM, MDO, YAK, ANN). A plus sign is a headwind, a minus sign a tailwind.

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.
