By the end of this tutorial, you will have identified which PlaneConnection module matches your role and chosen the right getting-started path.
Who is this for? Accountable executives, safety managers, pilots, crew, dispatchers, and
administrative staff — anyone who works in a flight department.
Step 1: Understand the four modules
PlaneConnection is organized into four core modules that share the same workspace, user accounts, and data:
Safety Management System (SMS) — safety reports, investigations, risk assessments, CPAs, compliance tracking, and training (covers FAA 14 CFR Part 5).
Flight Operations (Ops) — trips, aircraft fleet, crew, scheduling, dispatch, passengers, quotes, FOQA, and operational reports.
Maintenance — work orders, due items, discrepancies, MEL deferrals, AD/SB compliance, parts tracking, reliability analysis, and maintenance billing.
FBO Management — flight board, reservations, point of sale, facilities, financial management, staff, fuel, and a customer portal.
