Modified on Sat, 05 Nov 2022 at 01:22 PM

Pilots at Wheels Up (Mountain Aviation, Gama Aviation Signature) can import the company Voyage Report straight into their personal pilot logbook with CrewLounge PILOTLOG.

How to import the PDF?

You can install CrewLounge PILOTLOG on the company iPad, or you can use your personal device (iOS, Android, Windows, Mac).

Configuration

Open the CrewLounge PILOTLOG app:

1) on the Settings - Airline page, select the Wheels Up interface

fill-out the different settings that come with this interface

2) on the same page in the Import Events section, make sure that Historical Data is turned On for Flights (and Duty - optional)

if you run CrewLounge PILOTLOG on multiple devices (iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, PC) then verify the settings on ALL your devices (just to make sure that everything got synched)

3) on the Pilot List page, edit pilot SELF and insert your company 4-letter code as Employee ID

omitting this step may result in your name and Pilot SELF both being listed on the same flight. Continue with this article (read here) to clean-up your logs.

4) on the Settings - Flight Logging page, select AUTO LOAD TASK = "Airline interface / EFB"

this setting allows to retrieve PF/PM from the report and calculate Takeoff-Landing accordingly

5) on the Flight - Config page, you can optionally enable the TYPE OF OPERATION field

if this field is enabled, the interface will automatically insert PART91 or PART135 from the Voyage Report.

Different import methods

You can import your EFB data in 3 different ways!

All methods require internet access. You cannot share your data with CrewLounge PILOTLOG offline. Batch import (multiple files at a time) is not possible, you must share or email the files one-by-one.

Choose the method that is most convenient for you. Here is an overview, the details are outlined further down in this article.

EFB Inbox

Forward the email with PDF attachment to the dedicated CrewLounge EFB Inbox. This method is fully automatic, no buttons to click inside the app!
