Exporting Your Logbook
Wader turns your logbook into a PDF ready for printing or sharing, in your authority’s layout, or into a CSV file you can open in a spreadsheet. Exporting is part of the FREE plan. Signing your PDF is part of PRO.
Mobile: open the Logbook tab, tap the ☰ menu at the top right and choose Export.
Web: open Export in the side menu. The web has more layouts than the app: see Layout.
Choose PDF or CSV at the top of the screen.

Tap Export All Flights to export every flight as a CSV file. All flights are included, even incomplete ones. The file uses the same columns as the Wader import spreadsheet, so you can edit it and import it back (importing a spreadsheet is part of PRO). See Importing Your Previous Logbooks.
- Very long remarks may be cropped in the PDF. Keep remarks concise.
- PICUS and SPIC flights, EASA, UK CAA and GCAA layouts (web). The name of your supervising captain or instructor is printed in Name(s) PIC, and the remarks read
PICUS: nameorSPIC: name. If no name is recorded on the flight, the column stays blank, so add the name on the flight before you export. The app does not print the name there yet. - SACAA layout (web). SPIC time is printed in the PIC column, and the SPIC, PICUS and sign-off details are in Remarks. You will see more PIC time and less Dual time than before: this is correct. The app still prints SPIC time as Dual for now.
- Airports without an IATA code show their ICAO code in the PDF.
- Jet time and aircraft types (web). The JET card includes the jet time from your previous experience. The aircraft types counted on the Export screen match the ones on your Pilot CV.
- If the totals in your PDF are not what you expect, see Understanding Your Totals.
