By the end of this tutorial, you will have submitted a safety report and received a tracking number you can use to follow its progress.
Who should do this tutorial? Everyone in your organization. Pilots, crew, dispatchers, maintenance staff, and management should all know how to submit safety reports. Effective safety reporting depends on participation from all personnel.

Before you start

Make sure you have:
  • An active PlaneConnection account with access to the SMS module
  • Logged in to your workspace (see the Quickstart if you need help)
PlaneConnection uses a non-punitive (just culture) reporting policy. You can submit reports confidentially or anonymously without fear of disciplinary action. For more on this, see What is Just Culture?.
