Approach

The nearest quantum point on microTech is MicroTech Logistics Depot S4LD01. From there it is 104.8 km on the shortest route (great circle) or 104.8 km on a fixed compass heading of 201.5 degrees. At 250 m/s and 2 km altitude that works out to roughly 7 minutes of flight time. The great circle is shorter but needs constant correction; on the rhumb line you hold one heading.
