Range Plan

The Range Plan tab defines range waypoints for structured range activities such as bombing passes and strafing runs. Each row represents a single range point with optional coordinates for map plotting. Up to 11 entries are supported.

Row Fields

Each row contains the following fields in a single grid:

FieldDescriptionExample
WPWaypoint number for this range point.1
DescriptionName or description of the range point.MK-82 CCIP
ElevationTarget area elevation in feet MSL.2800
RemarksAdditional notes.Left base
RadiusCircular area radius around the coordinate.5
UnitRadius unit — "NM" (nautical miles) or "M" (meters).NM
LatitudeRange point latitude. Supports DD, DDM, DMS, and MGRS input.N 41° 15.123'
LongitudeRange point longitude.E 043° 50.456'

Coordinate Format

Use the Coordinate Format dropdown at the top of the tab to switch between DD (decimal degrees), DDM (degrees decimal minutes), and DMS (degrees minutes seconds). Pasting an MGRS coordinate into either the latitude or longitude field will auto-convert it and fill both fields.

Map Placement

Each row has a map pin button. Clicking it targets that row so the next click on the tactical map sets its coordinates. While targeted, the button displays "TGT".

Location Presets

The list button on each row opens the location preset overlay, which provides theater-specific preset locations. This is useful for commonly used ranges and targets.

ℹ️

Range plan entries appear on the kneeboard in row order. Use them to document your range card for training missions.
