Times are planning estimates. Mission playback is simulated, not aircraft tracking. If no feasible distance remains, the display shows a zero-distance assessment rather than a viable mission.

Planning estimate only, not a dispatch clearance. Verify official daylight times, actual ground speeds, fuel, weather, smoke, terrain, airspace and applicable procedures. The aircraft graphic illustrates the calculated mission stages; it is not live aircraft tracking.
