Logging Simulator Time

Wader supports logging simulator sessions separately from regular flights. Simulator entries appear in your logbook list alongside flights but with a distinct card style so they are easy to identify at a glance.


  1. Tap the + button at the bottom of the screen and choose Simulator.
  2. Set the date. It starts on today: tap it to log a past or future session.
  3. Select the simulator qualification level that matches your session.
  4. Fill in the remaining fields as you would for a regular flight: simulator registration, aircraft type, crew, times and logbook details.
  5. Tap Save.

  • The swipe left shortcuts (Duplicate, Next and Return) are not available for simulator entries.
  • Simulator time is tracked separately in your Dashboard totals and is not mixed into your flight time.
