Joslin Fld/Magic Valley Regional to Westchester County TWF → HPN

1,810 nautical miles (2,083 statute miles) east on a straight line, true course 079°, about 066° magnetic at the departure end (variation 13E). At 120 knots that is 10 h 46 min at the quickest height in today's winds (39,000 ft, a 48-knot tailwind), arriving about 7:07 pm EDT (23:07 UTC), after sunset at the destination. Right now TWF is marginal VFR, wind from the west (260°) at 7 knots; HPN is IFR, wind from the north-northwest (330°) at 10 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.

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.
