You will then be able to generate a spreadsheet file in TXT simple format. You can open up the file in any spreadsheet application. 

 

3. Copy and Paste your flight logs to eGCA spreadsheet file

Open up the "Export Flights - India DGCA (Tab).txt" file using any spreadsheet application.

Open up the "BulkUpload_eLogbookExcelLayout_V2.xlsm" using the same spreadsheet application.

Copy all the flight log entries to the BulkUpload_eLogbookExcelLayout_V2 file.

 

4. Verify your copied data

Because this XLSM file format is not supported by Apple apps, all the buttons like "Validate" and "Add New Row" do not work. They simply just shown as a text box.

 

Use the first line of entry to verify your data is correctly formatted. Click through each box to ensure nothing is missed. For the column of Class of Aircraft, you should see a box on the side with a triangle. This means it is a drop-down list with specific options.

 

Here is an example:

Under the Flight Type column >> Click on the triangle >> Drop-Down List showed for selection

 

Here is a list of the column with Drop-Down List:

• Column B - Performed On 
• Column E - Class of Aircraft
• Column F - Category of Aircraft
• Column G - Pilot Function
• Column I - Flight type
• Column J - Purpose
• Column S - I.F.
• Column V - Shift time

 

5. Set correct Dates and Times format

eGCA bulk file requires a specific format for Dates and Times. When you open up the TXT file, the dates and times format may be changed due to the spreadsheet application default format.

  

Date Format

• DD-MMM-YYYY is the correct format

Time Format

• HH:MM is the correct format 

 

Change the format cell on Microsoft Excel

Note: Other spreadsheet applications should have a similar feature
