# Create a flight

Our flight create form has been designed to be clear, easy to use, avoid mistakes and at the same time, be 100% usable on mobile devices.

> **Don't see the "Log flight" button?** Creating flights requires the **Create flights** permission to be enabled for your user type, plus an active pilot profile. Company Administrators and Operations Managers can always create flights. See [Flight permissions](/fcom/company-management/company-settings.md#flight-permissions) for details.

**UTC vs local time.**

The timezone is a setting that the company management can set in the company settings page and affects all time fields across the different Flylogs systems, like Flights, schedules, trainings ...

To view the required timezone in the flight create form, put your mouse pointer on top of the time inputs and the tooltip will display the required timezone.
