Importing your previous logbooks

You can import your previous logbooks into WADER and consolidate all your flight experience in one place.

Once you are set as a new Wader user, you might want to bring your flights that are logged in a different logbook or provided by your airline or flight school system.

We offer importing services for the formats listed below through a one-time payment. If your data comes from a different format not listed below, it may require additional processing under our PRO support service. In that case, contact us for more information!

How to Request an Import

1. Prepare your file: make sure your file is in one of the supported formats listed above.

If you’re using a custom format, you can either:

2. Contact us: mail your file to help@waderaviation.com and include your Wader user code, so we can locate your account. We’ll review your file and let you know if it’s ready for import or if adjustments are needed — and how long the process is expected to take.

⏱️ Import times may vary depending on file complexity and support workload.

3. Payment

  • For supported formats, imports are available through a one-time payment.

  • For custom or unsupported formats, imports are handled through PRO Support, which includes personalized assistance.

⚠️ Important Imports are processed AS IS, based on the data you provide — please review your file carefully before sending it. If there are errors or missing information, you will need to correct them manually in the app after import. Since Wader does not support batch editing, this can be time-consuming — so it’s strongly recommended to make sure your file is clean and complete before submitting it.

Supported Formats

Electronic Logbooks

LogTen Pro

To import your data from LogTen Pro, first of all, make sure that your settings are as follows: go to Account > Settings > Display Options and select "Time Format" as "Hours:Minutes" and confirm that the "Use Zulu (UTC) Time" option is enabled.

Then go to the Reports tab of your LogTen application (it is available in both mobile and desktop versions), then select Exporters, and generate the Export Flights (Tab) report. Make sure to select this one and not the Dynamic Export Flights.

mcc / crewLounge PILOTLOG

If you have access to myCrewLounge portal, go to your profile and select the option to export your database records from PILOTLOG as CSV and JSON file.

If you still use the old mccPILOTLOG desktop application, go to the Query tab, define a date range (or simply leave it blank) and click on Search. You will get an option to Export Data. Select the option to save the report as CSV (if not available, choose the Excel format).

RB Logbook

To import your data from RB Logbook, go to the More tab of your RB application, then select Import & Export Data, and look for the Export to CSV option. Define the period you want to import to Wader and generate all the available report types: Flights, Aircraft and People. We need all of them!

Others

If you have your hours logged in any digital logbook besides the ones listed above, you may try to transpose your records to our spreadsheet template or consider getting help for a custom import through our PRO support.

2) In the left menu, select CIV -> Declaração de Experiência de Voo

This will generate a file (.xlt format) that you can open/edit with any spreadsheet program (such as Excel).

Request your logbook opening a "Service Now" request.
