==== Tags ====
The [[Catalog metadata|tag system]] allows systems to categorise aircraft, for example allowing more advanced searches in the future. Tags allow better feedback to the user when interacting with your aircraft - for
example if the aircraft is tagged as towable, a glider, or a helicopter, the startup behaviour can be customised.
Most importantly, set the following tags if appropriate:
    *.    glider
    *    helicopter
    *    floats
    *    skis
    *    seaplane
    *    airship
    *    amphibious
    *    vtol
These tags are the most helpful in customising the start-up experience based on the type of aircraft. (Especially, which starting locations are offered / preferred when searching)
==== Urls ====
Aircraft can list significant URLs, such as their home page, support forum or code repository. Again the format matches that uses for add-ons:
<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
<urls>
    <home-page>http://www.flightgear.org</home-page>
    <wikipedia>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cessna_172</wikipedia>
    <support>http://forum.flightgear.org</support>
</urls>
</syntaxhighlight>
The support URL is perhaps the most important, to direct users to a forum or bug-tracker where they can ask questions or report issues with the particular aircraft.
