By following this guide, you will submit a safety report using any of the available methods — standard form, natural language, confidential, or anonymous — and track it after submission.
Who should read this: Any workspace member (pilot, crew, maintenance, safety manager, admin). All roles can submit safety reports. No special permissions are required.Prerequisites: You must be signed in and have access to a workspace.

​
Choose Your Submission Method

PlaneConnection offers four ways to submit a report. Pick the one that fits your situation.

​
Submit a Report Using the Standard Form

​
Prerequisites

  • Signed into your workspace
  • Know which report type applies (see the table below or the Report Types reference)

​
Submit Using Natural Language Mode

Natural language mode lets you describe a safety event in your own words and have AI extract the structured fields. For the complete natural language workflow, see Natural Language Reports.
Natural language mode is especially useful in the field when you want to capture details quickly and refine the structured data later. Use voice input for hands-free dictation.
AI suggestions are advisory only. Per 14 CFR Part 5, all safety assessments, investigation findings, and risk evaluations require independent human evaluation by qualified personnel. AI recommendations should be used as one factor among many in decision-making, not as the sole basis for any safety, operational, or maintenance action. See Legal Notices.

​
Track Your Report After Submission

After submitting, you can check the status of your report at any time:
  • From the Reports list: Navigate to Safety > Reports and find your report by title, report number, or status filter.
  • Using the tracking code: Go to Reports > Track and enter your RPT-YYYY-NNNNN code. This works without logging in, which is useful for anonymous reporters.
  • QR code: Scan the QR code generated at submission to jump directly to the tracking page.

​
Auto-Save and Offline Support

  • Auto-save: Drafts are saved automatically every 60 seconds. If you navigate away before submitting, your draft is preserved in the Reports list.
  • Offline mode: If you lose connectivity, PlaneConnection queues your submission locally and syncs when the network returns. An offline indicator appears in the form to confirm this behavior.
