So if I understand you correctly, a ground range test has little, if
any, correlation to airborne range. If it did, then there would be an
empirical formula that would allow me to relate the two. But what I see
you saying is that each installation is unique and therefore you cannot
provide a mathematical relationship due to an essentially infinite
number of variables. Essentially it is an equation with no solution.

I wish I could, life would be simple, but (again) given that each
install is different you need to find the airborne limits for your
aircraft, that is if the range on the ground is less than 100ft (again -
relative to your radio system). Add to this my vision is rated @ 20/10,
what you distignuish at 20/20 I see at a much further distance. This is
what I meant that you need to put in the legwork to find out.
What turns out to be functional is different for each install when the
limiting factors include situations like carbon fiber booms that are
enveloping the antenna element...
