Do you have your flight data available in a digital format that doesn’t match any of the predefined import options? You can still easily upload your entire flight history using one of the following approaches:
Use our custom CSV template – Copy your records into the template to ensure a smooth and accurate import.
Use your own file – You can upload your existing file, as long as it includes all required columns. During the import process, you can map your columns to match the corresponding fields in FLYLOG.io. If you are using an Excel file, make sure to convert it to CSV format before uploading.
If you are importing flight records exported from systems such as AIMS eCrew or other crew or airline scheduling systems, please check the Airline Pilots guide. To import your previous experience from another digital logbook, please refer to the Migrate from eLogbook.
Custom Template
Fill in the columns with your flights (required columns listed below)
Template file is a standard CSV file you can open and edit in MS Excel, Apple Numbers, or Google Spreadsheets. Please be sure to convert your file back to CSV after editing.
Upload the file to the FLYLOG app in Import -> Custom import with Template
💡 Pro Tip: Use standard ICAO type designators as your aircraft type codes for best results.
Your Own File
If your file matches our template structure, the import will proceed automatically.
If your file uses a different structure or column names, a column mapping table will appear. During this step, you can assign each column from your file to the corresponding FLYLOG.io field.
File must include all required columns listed below; otherwise, the import cannot be completed.
💡 Note: Using our custom template avoids the need for column mapping and reduces the risk of errors.

In the table below, you can find columns that MUST* be present in CSV file. If you are using your own file, RENAME your columns to exactly match the columns in our template.
