Importing an OFP
Auto-fill your flight details by importing data from your Operational Flight Plan PDF.
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
Open a new or existing flight in Wader.
Tap the OFP button at the top of the flight form.
Select your OFP PDF file from your device.
Wader reads the file and fills in the matching fields.
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.
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.
