Triggered Actions mode
The Triggered Actions button opens the Triggered Actions Panel. This panel can be used

window. This data includes:
START TIME. The mission start time for the group in Hour:Minute:Second/Day.
ROUTE TIME. How long it will take the aircraft to fly the route, assuming no departures
from the planned route. This is indicated in Hour:Minute:Second/Day format.
ROUTE LENGTH. Total distance of the route in meters.
AVERAGE SPEED. The average indicated airspeed of the route by totaling the assigned
airspeed of each route leg and then dividing by the number of legs.
RANGE. The distance as the crow flies between the start and end waypoints of the
route.
Note, the mission editor supports group copy/paste functionality. To copy a group,
select it and press CTRL+C. To paste the group with identical properties, position the
mouse over the desired point on the map and press CTRL+V.
