Importing data from other eLogbooks

You can export your logbook as a CSV file through ForeFlight on the web.  You will need to log in with your ForeFlight credentials and go to the Logbook page and select "Export."

Image 1.  Export via ForeFlight on the web by logging in and going to the Export page and select "Export."

You can then use our Import from File feature to convert it into LogTen. Or send us the file and we can help!

Your logbook can be exported in a spreadsheet format from Garmin by clicking on the Logbook tab at the top, and selecting Export, under the "Setup" menu.

Once "Export" is selected, you will be prompted to generate two exports:

• One for Log Entries and, 
• One for Aircraft Types

Please generate them both, and you can either use our Import from File feature to convert it into LogTen. Or send us the file and we can help!

To export you your data as a digital spreadsheet simply open your MyFlightBook app, tap on the Logbook tab, then select Download.

 

Next select the CSV export option.

 

Now your CSV logbook export will download to your computer. 

From here just compress it into a zip folder and attach it to your support email ticket. We'll take care of the rest!

You should be able to export your flight, aircraft and crew data from RB Logbook in a CSV (Comma Separated Values file) which can be imported into LogTen.

If you are using a Mac, you can import this data yourself using our Importing spreadsheet files article. If you are using iOS, or want us to do it for you, we can definitely do that!

To export the data from RB Logbook, you will have to export three files: one for Flights, one for Aircraft and another one for People. To do this, on the RB Logbook app, tap on the "More" tab at the bottom right, and tap on "Import & Export Data". In the new screen, you should see an "Export to CSV" option.

• If you only have Aircraft Type and Aircraft ID information associated with your Aircraft (ie: there are no notes, serial numbers, other information, etc), there is no need to export the "Aircraft" file, as the registrations and Aircraft Type will be exported in the "Flights". Any additional aircraft information will not be included, so the "Aircraft" file will have to be exported as well.
• Similarly, if you only have "Name" and "Surname" information for your Crews, there is no need to export the People file as this information is also exported in the "Flights" file. If you have any additional information such as Crew IDs, email addresses or telephone numbers, it will be neccesary to export the "People" file to ensure that all the information gets transferred to LogTen.

Choose a date range (or toggle "All Flights") and select, under "report type" which file you want to export, and tap on "Generate Export".

 

This will generate a file that you can email to yourself, save on your iPhone/iPad, or share with us to import it for you!

If you want us to perform the import, or if you have any other questions, please get in touch with us by creating a new support ticket here, we'll be more than happy to get the file converted and imported into LogTen!

To export your Crew Lounge logbook out for import into LogTen you will need to open your Crew Lounge logbook and tap on the Query button you'll see in the image below.

 

 

This will take you to the next screen with a date range to export and an **Export Data** button with 2 options: Excel and CSV. For this export please choose the entire date range that you want to be imported into LogTen and then choose CSV.

 

 

From here Crew Lounge will automatically save your file as a CSV file, and let you know where it was saved on your computer.

Let us migrate your mccPILOTLOG logbook to LogTen for you!

Please send us your exported logbook (.csv file) by starting a new support discussion here. Our fantastic support staff will be more than happy to get the file converted and imported into LogTen for you.

If you have flight entries or other data in the new LogTen that you would like to merge with the mccPILOTLOG file, please send us your current logbook file first. Instead of importing your data to a new file, we will add it to your existing logbook, and send back the complete data set.

• On the iPhone or iPad, go to the More tab, select Help, and tap Contact Support.
• On the Mac, go to the Help menu, and select Contact Support.

Enter your email address (it may automatically populate from your account), and select the send logbook for testing option. Please also include a short note about the data import in the message box, so our staff will know what the request is referring to. Hit Send and it will send a message to our support center with a copy of your logbook file attached.

After sending the file, please refrain from making further changes or additions, since the complete logbook we send back will need to replace the logbook file in the app. Finally, let me know you have sent your logbook in a reply here so that I'll receive the message directly. I'll retrieve your file, import your data, and send back your complete logbook soon.
