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 a complimentary import through our standard support for the formats listed below. Simply send the files to [e-mail] and we will take care of it for you in no time! Just remember to inform us your user code in the email, so we can find your account!

Note we can only assist new users by loading their previous experiences once, just to get their logbooks up to date and ready to start using the app in its full capacity! For recurrent imports, please check our PRO support plan.

Migrating from another logbook

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.

💡 You may also consider getting help for a custom import through our PRO support.

Importing from airline systems

🌐 AIMS / eCrew

Export your logbook file from AIMS using the CSV format. If your version of AIMS limits the date period for export, you can export multiple files and send it to us.

🇷🇺 Aviabit

For Russian airlines using Aviabit, send us the CSV file generated by the system.

IMPORTANT: Make sure to generate it using UTC times instead of local times.

🇧🇷 ANAC (SACI)

1) Log in to the ANAC system (https://sistemas.anac.gov.br/SACI/)

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

3) At the bottom of the page, you will find the option to export your records

This will generate a file (.xlt format) that you can open/edit with any spreadsheet program (such as Excel). You will notice that it doesn't include all relevant information for your logbook, such as start and parking times, PIC name and, most importantly, the aircraft type.

Transpose this data to our spreadsheet template and fill any missing data.

Request your logbook opening a "Service Now" request. Once you receive it, forward us both the PDF and CSV files.

🇧🇷 GOL Linhas Aéreas

To import your previous experience from GOL, you may need to get the monthly reports from CrewLink. To do so, go to the portal and select the "FT Record" option in the lateral menu. Then, select the desired month and hit "Generate Report".

Then download each generated report and send them to us.

NOTE: the consolidated file from the roster ("ESCALA") cannot be used because it doesn't come with mandatory logbook information, such as aircraft registration.

🇧🇷 LATAM Airlines Brasil

The company may provide you with a PDF logbook. Just send us that file ;) Note: unfortunately LATAM Cargo uses a different format, which we are currently not able to import. In that case, our standard spreadsheet is the best option.
