✈️ Going Digital: Why Converting Your Logbook Unlocks the Future of Proficient Flying
For decades, pilots have relied on paper logbooks to track their experience, endorsements, and certifications. While nostalgic, paper logs are increasingly impractical—especially in an era where precision, automation, and safety demand more. If you’re still logging hours by hand, you’re missing out on powerful tools that can enhance your flying, protect your data, and unlock the full potential of Flight Level One.
Why Go Digital?
A digital logbook—especially one integrated into a platform like ForeFlight—offers unmatched benefits:
• Automatic Entries: ForeFlight can generate logbook drafts directly from your flight plans and GPS track logs. Never forget a flight again.
• Multi-Device Access: Your logbook lives on your iPhone, iPad, and backup device—always current and always available.
• Cloud-Based Backups: Your data is safely and automatically stored across redundant servers.
• Shareability: Send individual logbook entries to friends, CFIs, or insurers with a tap. You can even include photos and comments.
• Endorsements & Certificates: Store digital versions of all endorsements, certificates, and your medical. CFIs can sign digitally, and everything’s print-ready.
• Fanatical Support: ForeFlight’s pilot support team is available 7 days a week to assist with questions and conversions.
Digital logbooks aren’t just convenient—they’re essential for today’s data-driven, safety-oriented pilot.
How to Convert Your Logbook
There are three primary methods to bring your logbook into ForeFlight:
1. Catch-Up Entry
The fastest and simplest option. Enter a single logbook entry that includes total time from previous pages—just like starting a fresh paper logbook.
Best for: Pilots who want to track only current and future flights.
2. Time-by-Type or Tail Number
Enter totals for each aircraft type or tail number. This unlocks advanced reporting and insurance tracking by aircraft characteristics (e.g., high-performance, turbine, complex).
Best for: Instructors, multi-type pilots, or those with diverse experience.
3. Full Import via Spreadsheet
Export from digital platforms like LogTen Pro or ZuluLog, or use ForeFlight’s CSV template to import your entire flight history.
• Use ForeFlight’s template from plan.foreflight.com/logbook
• Follow the formatting notes exactly (headers, units, date/time formats)
• Import aircraft and flight data directly into your account
⚠️ Pro Tip: ForeFlight’s import tool gives instant feedback—check for errors before submitting. If you need help,AccuLog
Setting Up for Success
Once your logbook is imported, take these additional steps to maximize value:
Add Your Certificates & Medical
• Enter your pilot certificate(s), ratings, and endorsements.
• Add issue and expiration dates (or mark as “never expires”).
• Upload photos of the physical certificates for reference.
Log Simulator & Ground Training
• Use ForeFlight’s custom fields to track sim time, classroom instruction, or unique training types.
• Include data in your experience reports for FAA compliance or insurance documentation.
Print & Share
• Generate complete or abbreviated logbook reports.
• Print in FAA-compliant formats that mimic Jeppesen layouts.
• Share entries with friends, family, CFIs, or insurers via email or secure web links.
