Importing an OFP

What is OFP import?

Wader can read your airline Operational Flight Plan (OFP) PDF and automatically populate key fields in the flight form. This eliminates manual data entry for the information already present in your OFP.

The following fields are filled in automatically when you import an OFP:

• Flight number
• Aircraft ICAO type
• Tail number
• Departure airport (ICAO)
• Arrival airport (ICAO)
• Date of flight
• EOBT (Estimated Off-Block Time)

---

How to import

1. Open a new or existing flight in Wader.
2. Tap the OFP button at the top of the flight form.
3. Select your OFP PDF file from your device.
4. Wader reads the file and fills in the matching fields.
5. Review the imported data and complete any remaining fields before saving.

Requirements

• Digital PDF only. The file must be a text-based PDF document. Scanned pages and handwritten documents are not supported.
• ICAO FPL block required. Wader extracts flight data from the standard ICAO FPL block — the (FPL-...) section — present in your OFP. If your OFP does not include this section, import will not populate the fields.

Note

Some fields not populating? Check that your OFP PDF is a text-based document (not a scanned image) and that it contains the standard ICAO FPL section. If the (FPL-...) block is missing or formatted differently by your airline’s dispatch system, Wader may not be able to extract all fields.
