KPI strip

Four KPI cards summarize financial performance for the selected date range: Each card includes a sparkline trend and a delta badge comparing to the prior equivalent period.

​
Revenue vs. costs trend

The dual-axis area chart plots daily revenue and costs over the selected period. Use this chart to:
  • Identify days with high costs but low revenue (deadhead-heavy days, maintenance events).
  • Spot revenue spikes from charter peak periods.
  • Confirm that cost trends track revenue growth proportionally.

​
Cost breakdown

The stacked bar chart breaks down operational costs into categories:
Cost categories map directly to the trip estimate fields populated during trip planning. Ensure trip estimates are completed for every trip to maintain accurate financial analytics.

​
Revenue by aircraft

The bar chart compares total revenue generated per tail number. Cross-reference with fleet utilization to compute revenue efficiency:
  • High revenue, high hours — productive workhorse aircraft.
  • High revenue, low hours — premium charter routes.
  • Low revenue, high hours — potential repositioning or owner flights.

​
Monthly P&L summary

The table at the bottom of the page shows a month-by-month breakdown: Export this table via the Reports hub for accounting reconciliation or board presentations.

​
Integrate with QuickBooks

If QuickBooks is connected, financial data in PlaneConnection syncs bidirectionally:
  • Invoices and expenses push to QuickBooks on creation.
  • Payment status syncs back hourly.
  • Chart of accounts mappings are configured during initial setup.
