How to log a new flight in Wader, step by step.
This page walks you through creating a new flight entry from start to finish.
Tap the + button and select Flight to open a blank flight form.
The date defaults to today. Tap it to change it if you are logging a past or future flight.
Enter the tail number and the ICAO aircraft type code (for example, B738 or A320). Tap Use last aircraft to repeat the tail number and type from your previous flight — useful for pilots who fly the same aircraft regularly.
Select the total number of pilots (1–4), then enter each pilot's name. Click the search icon next to a pilot position to autocomplete it from your previous entries. Tap Use last crew to repeat the same crew as your previous flight.
Enter the departure airport in the FROM field and the arrival airport in the TO field using IATA or ICAO codes. Wader automatically looks up the airport details.
Fill in the four block times, all in UTC:
OUT
Off-block — when the aircraft starts moving
OFF
Takeoff — wheels up
ON
Landing — wheels down
IN
On-block — aircraft parked
OUT and IN are the only required times. OFF and ON are optional but recommended for accurate totals and to automatically fill the your takeoffs and landings as day or night.
Select your function (PIC, SIC, etc.), flight rules (IFR, VFR, or mixed), flight conditions and cross country. If this was a multi-pilot operation, enable the Multi-Pilot toggle.
Use the Remarks field for endorsements, special procedures, or any notes you want recorded in your logbook.
Tap Save. Your flight is now in your logbook.
Speed up daily logging with preferences. Your preferences auto-fill most fields — set them once in Settings and you will rarely need to re-enter them. See Preferences.
You do not need to complete every field in one go. Save with the fields you already know/have and finish the entry later. Flights with missing required fields appear gray in your logbook list and are not included in totals until all required fields are filled. See Flight Validation.
For a detailed explanation of every field, see Flight Form Reference. To auto-fill flight details from an OFP PDF, see Importing an OFP.
