When JMPS is unavailable, what should aircrews use instead?

When JMPS (Joint Mission Planning System) is unavailable, aircrews should utilize MAJCOM-approved software for mission planning tasks. This approach is favorable because MAJCOM (Major Command) endorses specific software tools that align with the operational standards and requirements set forth by the military. Using these tools ensures that aircrews incorporate the latest data and adhere to relevant protocols, enhancing mission readiness and effectiveness.

In contrast to other options, which may not meet the same level of integration or validation, the utilization of MAJCOM-approved software guarantees that the aircrew follows established best practices in flight planning and mission execution. It is essential for maintaining a level of consistency with mission data and methodologies that are recognized and accepted at a command-wide level, which is crucial when JMPS is not an option.
