flight plans

Pilots file these

A flight plan is a document filed with aviation authorities describing an aircraft's intended route, altitude, speed, and timing.

Pilots file flight plans before departure for air traffic control coordination and search-and-rescue purposes if needed.

Figuratively, any detailed itinerary or strategy: What's the flight plan for tomorrow's meeting?
