This guide helps you configure flight defaults, log formats, duty time rules, airport preferences, flight tags, tripsheet branding, and flight release procedures.
This feature requires administrator or workspace owner permissions. Changes made here affect all users in your workspace.
Who should read this: Workspace administrators (Admin role) and dispatchers who need to configure operational defaults. You need the Admin role with workspace_settings configure permission to save changes.

​
Configure general flight defaults

General flight settings define the default parameters used when creating new flights.

​
Configure the flight log

Flight log settings control which fields are required when recording flights and how log entries are numbered.
Keep required fields to the minimum necessary for your operation. Excessive required fields slow down data entry and may lead to inaccurate placeholder entries.

​
Configure duty time limits

Duty time settings define FAA regulatory limits and company-specific rules for flight time and rest periods.
Company rules can only be more restrictive than FAA limits, never less. PlaneConnection enforces the FAA regulatory limits regardless of custom rule settings.

​
Manage airports and locations

The airports table stores locations used across flight operations — departure points, arrival destinations, home bases, and common waypoints.

​
Configure flight tags

Flight tags categorize and filter flights in list views and reports.
Create a consistent tagging taxonomy early. Tags like “Charter”, “Owner”, “Maintenance”, and “Ferry” cover the most common Part 135 flight types.

​
Customize tripsheet formatting

Tripsheet settings control the layout, sections, and branding of generated trip documents.

​
Configure flight release procedures

Flight release settings define the checklist, approval requirements, and signature fields for the flight release process.
