Condition

Allows you to choose the condition on which the Target Event is performed. Most event types only allow a time condition.

If the target route contains airways, the unfiled (not explicitly in the route) fixes along the airway will be displayed in BLUE.

NOTE: For the ATCoach engine, Target Events with a time equal to the Target Start Time will have one second added to them.
