Adding Previous Experience
If you do not need to import every flight, only your totals, use Previous Experience. Enter your total hours by aircraft type (for example, 1,200 hours on B738) and they are included in your Dashboard totals and PDF exports.
This is a good option if you are starting fresh in Wader and only need your earlier totals, without every flight.

Adding previous experience totals by aircraft type
- Previous experience can be included or excluded when exporting your logbook. Toggle this option in the export settings before generating your PDF.
- Hours entered here appear in the Dashboard and PDF totals but are not individual flights, so they do not show in the Logbook list.
- Flying lots of light aircraft types? You can log all your single-engine time under one ASEL entry, or all your multi-engine time under AMEL.
