Question: How to change orbital plane to allign with desired spaceport

[G-LOC]

How do I get the orbital plane over the desired spaceport whithout moving Apd or Ped that much (With
Normal or Antinormal thrust)? Anyone got some hints ? When do I have to thrust?

Thanks in advance...

You should burn at one of the nodes (ascending or descending node). I always perform my burns
there, and my Apd and Ped usually don't change much...

The problem is: I cant set a spaceport as target on the Allign orbital planes MFD...or is there a way?
I tried to put into the target prompt : the ID( eg Brighton beach is LBB ,brighton beach,
brightonbeach... nothing worked

The nodes are where you cross the equator. So if you have the Orbit MFD and Map MFD open, you should be able to adjust your plane with minimal change to your orbital radius. What I would do, if it is Earth, is just adjust the plane so the the top or bottom of your inclination just reaches the stations latitude and then wait for a few spins until your orbit  takes you over your target base.

Just wait until earth rotates and your desired spaceport pass just above your ship, then deorbit
and land... no need to change the plane in most of the cases.

Yeah, of course, i didnt think think about that...
But in the G-SNDO me and my Passengers would probably die because of the lack of oxygene
