Stating the obvious I know (and maybe this should be in the photographic section ?)
It depends on what you are trying to get a picture of.
The type of camera you are using.
The lens you are using.
The prevailing light conditions.
A rule of thumb which works for me. For propeller aircraft in flight use shutter priority, shutter speed not more than 1/160th sec to get prop blur.
ISO depends on lens, or set to auto if in doubt.
A stop or so of positive light compensation, to avoid subject coming out in silhouette.
Use burst mode, which gives you more chance of getting a shot in focus.
Set focus mode to continuous, and use back button focus.
Most importantly, shoot in RAW mode.
