RIC to ORF questions

Is RIC–ORF running on time right now?

Smooth skies ahead. The departure side at RIC is the weaker end, route health score 95/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.

How long is the flight from RIC to ORF?

Great-circle distance is 120 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 38–40 min gate-to-gate on this route.

What does the route health score measure?

A blend of departure-side delay at RIC and arrival-side delay at ORF, computed from rolling delay windows (refreshed every 40 minutes) with a daily-rollup fallback. Current MVFR, IFR, or LIFR endpoint weather caps the score when flight rules can limit throughput. Higher is healthier: 100 means operations are clean at both ends.
