Tiny Planes Aircraft Guide: Fleet, Pilots and Flying Tips

How Aircraft Work in Tiny Planes

Your planes are your income. Dispatching aircraft on jobs keeps cash flowing for runways, terminals and hangars. This Tiny Planes aircraft guide walks you through buying planes, staffing them with pilots, sending them out on routes and flying them yourself.

The game puts more than 150 real aircraft in your hands. You can send any of them on routes across four islands, or jump into the cockpit and fly it personally.

The core loop is short:

1. Buy an aircraft from the Shop.
2. Recruit a pilot and assign them to it.
3. Dispatch the plane on a job, or fly it yourself.
4. Collect the cash and reinvest it in more planes and a bigger airfield.

The tutorial gives you a free plane from the Shop, so your first aircraft costs nothing. Follow the yellow markers to place your runway and stand, claim the plane, recruit a pilot and take your first flight.

Buying Planes and Growing Your Fleet

The Shop sorts aircraft into categories such as gliders, private jets, utilities, helicopters and regional airliners. Early on you will be flying light props like the Cessna Skyhawk and a Piper. Bigger aircraft unlock as you level up. Some regional jets require a higher airport level, with one listed at airport level 9.

Keep these points in mind when you buy:

• Shop stock rotates every 15 minutes. Check back often if the plane you want isn't listed.
• Every plane needs somewhere to park. Place a stand, such as a tie-down stand, and connect it with a taxiway before you add another aircraft.
• Some buildings ask for a paved plot before they can go down.

The November 7 Extreme Weather update added 28 new aircraft. It also gave many existing planes roles in four new careers:

• Firefighting
• Search & Rescue
• Evacuation & Relief
• Storm Chasing & Recon

Ranking up in these careers unlocks better aircraft and bigger payouts. If you want a rescue-ready fleet, chase career ranks alongside your normal route income.

Pilots: Recruiting and Rarity

An aircraft without a pilot sits on the ground. You can get pilots in three ways:

• Hire them directly from Pilot Recruitment.
• Spend Recruitment Tokens at Pilot Recruitment.
• Train them through the pilot school.

Pilots come in rarities, including Common, Rare and Legendary. Assign your best pilots to your highest-paying routes, and use Common recruits on short hops while you build up.

Several active codes include a Legendary Pilot. Enter them through the Star icon at the top of the screen. Codes are case-sensitive.

Code	Rewards
N0TS0T1NYPLANE3	5,000,000 Cash, 5 Livery Cases, 5 Drone Cases, 5 Shop Restock Tokens, 5 Recruitment Tokens, Legendary Pilot
T1NYPL4N3S300K	300,000 Cash, 1 Drone Case, Legendary Pilot
1KLIKES	Cash (scales with your level), 1 Livery Case, 2 Drone Cases, 4 Recruitment Tokens, 1 Legendary Pilot
TINYBUILD3RS	60K Cash

Redeem N0TS0T1NYPLANE3 first, since it carries the largest reward of the four.

Dispatching Routes for Cash

To make money fast, dispatch your fleet. Open your fleet, pick a plane, choose a job and send it off. Each job shows its payout before you commit. Once the plane is airborne you can track the flight live and watch it land.

Payouts and flight times vary a lot. Far-flung jobs can pay around 850 to 1,200 per trip, and one long flight ran 1 hour and 16 minutes.

Tips for steady income:

• Send planes on long, far-flung routes before you go AFK or start a big build session. Your planes keep earning while you work on the airfield.
• Use Repeat Route on reliable jobs so the plane flies them again without you re-dispatching each time.
• Set lights to Auto in the dispatch menu, including nav and landing lights, so you don't have to manage them on every flight.
• Watch your flight limits. Early on you can run two simultaneous flights and one stop per route, so give those slots to your highest-paying jobs.
• Collect finished contracts and claim daily and playtime rewards regularly. They add up quickly in the first hours.

Infrastructure supports the fleet. You can add a fuel station, a hangar, a cargo shed and a second landing strip as your airfield grows. Multiplayer servers hold up to 5 players, each on their own island, and you can use a friend's airport as a landing site.

Flying Aircraft Yourself

You can take manual control of any plane in your fleet. Here are the default keyboard controls on PC:

Key	Action
Shift	Throttle up
Ctrl	Throttle down
W / S	Nose up / nose down
A / D	Roll left / right
Space	Brakes
L	Landing gear ("legs")
T	Autopilot (pick a field)
M	Map
V	Camera
C	Controls list
H	Hide UI

Manual handling is twitchy at first, and it is easy to roll the plane by accident. If landings keep going wrong, press T, pick a destination field and let autopilot handle the approach. It turns, descends and lines up on its own, and it can bring you back to your home airport. A messy manual landing just means flying the job again, so autopilot saves time while you learn.

Flying yourself is also how you take on the reworked jobs:

• Towing banners
• Crop spraying over fields
• Beating the clock on express deliveries
• Calling the green light for skydivers
• Dropping sensor probes near tornadoes on storm-chasing runs

Exploring by air also turns up barn finds to restore and hidden locations.

Liveries, Maintenance and Upgrade Passes

Livery Cases and the paint shop let you change how your aircraft look. Aircraft also need maintenance, so keep an eye on plane condition before long trips.

If you plan to spend Robux, these passes affect your fleet directly:

Game Pass	Price	Effect
Bigger Fleet	299 Robux	Expands your fleet
Infinite simultaneous flights	1000 Robux	Removes the simultaneous flight cap
Auto-Maintenence+	299 Robux	Auto-maintains aircraft with quicker maintenance
Pilot Academy	149 Robux	Included in the Boost Bundle
2x Cash	299 Robux	Doubles all cash sources
RGB Colours	99 Robux	Any color for liveries
Materials	49 Robux	Material selection for liveries
Boost Bundle	749 Robux	2x Cash, Bigger Fleet, Auto-Maintenance+, Pilot Academy

If you want 2x Cash, Bigger Fleet, Auto-Maintenance+ and Pilot Academy, buy the Boost Bundle, which covers all four for 749 Robux.

Premium aircraft such as the SR-71 Blackbird, F-14 Tomcat, Spitfire, Mi-26 and H-4 Hercules exist as individual aircraft passes but are currently listed as not for sale. Starter packs (Flying Club, Island Hopper, Regional Airline, Jet Age and Long Haul) are also off sale at the moment. A 19 Robux starter pack offer can still pop up in-game.

The developer's roadmap lists new aircraft every week voted on by the community, aircraft performance upgrades and more realistic flight handling. Check the Tiny Planes page on Roblox for update posts.
