TKD fully supports this sentence. Section 3.1.7:

"When the context is appropriate, verbs without a Type 7 suffix may be
translated by the English future tense (will), but the real feeling of
the Klingon is closer to English sentences such as 'We fly tomorrow at
dawn,' where the present-tense verb refers to an event in the future."

Though one would typically consider an "event" to be an
over-and-done-with action, and the "fly at dawn" event is definitely
such an action, this passage in TKD is explicitly talking about verbs
lacking an aspect suffix.
