I currently have it set up to do an inclination correction burn until the target is directly ahead, then it does a 45 degree pitch up prograde burn to gain both height and distance until the orbit intersects the ground(plus a bias height because of drag) where the target will be on ground impact. The engine is shutoff and not used again after the intercept burn is complete. Although I could have enabled the auto land program, I thought it was more impressive to demonstrate accuracy without any additional power.
