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. Here is how you can do it:
🎄 End-of-year holidays 🎄
Our support team will be on short holiday recess from December 20 to January 5.
Imports will be resumed after this period. If timing is critical for you, please take this into account before purchasing this service.
Updated Policy – Effective December 2025
As part of our support reorganization, flight imports are currently available only for the formats listed in this guide. You can access them through a paid one-time import or by subscribing to Wader PRO.
This limitation is temporary, and additional formats may be offered again once the reorganization is complete.
If your logbook or airline format is not listed, please contact us at [email protected] for guidance.
How to Request an Import
1. Check supported formats
The formats currently covered are listed below. Other formats are not supported and cannot be imported.
If your logbook is in a different format, you may transpose your data into our spreadsheet template, or contact us for guidance.
2. Proceed with payment
Choose the option that fits your needs and complete the payment using the links below:
3. Send us your files
Email your files to [email protected] and include your Wader user code, so we can locate your account.
Once your payment is confirmed and your files are received, our system automatically notifies our team. Your import will be added to our pipeline, and we will inform you as soon as it is completed.
⏱️ Import times
One-Time Imports: up to 1 week
PRO Imports: up to 2 business days
Urgent requests may be possible for PRO users only and depend on your file and deadline — please contact us in advance to check feasibility.
📅 Support hours
Monday to Friday, from 13:00 to 20:00 UTC
⚠️ 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.
Airline systems
🌐 AIMS / eCrew
AIMS has two systems, and the way to retrieve your data depends on which one your company uses:
AIMS eCrew (Legacy)
Log in to AIMS eCrew using your preferred browser.
On the Pilot LogBook report page, select the desired dates and click the Export as CSV button.
If that button is not available for your company, instead of printing it, right-click the report and use your browser’s Save Target As option to save the report as an HTM file.
AIMS-v2 eCrew
Log in to AIMS eCrew using your preferred browser.
On the Reports → My Logbook page, select the desired dates and click the Go button.
From the File Export menu, select CSV.
Finally, share the file with our team.
🇧🇷 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).
🇷🇺 Aviabit
Export your logbook file from Aviabit in CSV format.
Please ensure that the file you provide includes the Block ON and Block OFF times, as these are essential for a proper import.
In some cases, we’ve received files where this information was missing. We’ve also noticed occasional inconsistencies, such as Instrument Time exceeding the total Duty Time (in UTC), which makes the file impossible to import as-is.
As an alternative, you can transfer your data into our standard spreadsheet and complete any missing details there before sending it to us.
🇪🇸 Air Europa
Go to your "Casillero Digital" app and click in "Logbook":
Set the date range and select the export format as "Recommended for Logten Pro X":
You shall receive the file in your corporate email. Just forward us that file.
IMPORTANT
Please make sure to send the CSV file as an attachment.
We’ve noticed that when emails are forwarded using the Apple Mail app, the CSV file may be embedded directly in the email body instead of staying as a proper attachment. When this happens, we are unable to process the data.
To avoid this issue, we recommend forwarding the email using another app, such as Gmail or Outlook, ensuring the CSV file remains correctly attached.
🇦🇪 Air Arabia
Log in to the Air Arabia Cesar web portal and generate the "Electronic Log Book" file in Excel (.xls) format and send it to us.
Sometimes Air Arabia system may link the wrong aircraft type to a tail number. Don’t worry — our system automatically fixes this using the aircraft registration. If you still spot something off, though, just let us know!
🇧🇷 Azul Linhas Aéreas
Request your logbook opening a "Service Now" request.
Once you receive it, forward us both the CSV and PDF files.
🇦🇪 Emirates
To import your Emirates (EK) previous experience, we’ll need the Excel file generated from the EK portal.
Steps to get the file:
Log in to the EK portal.
Go to All Apps → Flight Time Report.
Load the period you want to import.
On the top right corner of the table, click the Download Spreadsheet button (see image below).
Once you’ve downloaded the file, simply send it to us and our team will import it for you.
🇧🇷 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.
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.
🇲🇻 Trans Maldivian Airways
Go to the RAMIS system and export your flights in Excel format. Then just mail us that file.
Others
If your airline uses another system that gives you all the required logbook information, get in touch with us, so our team can evaluate it.
