The ForeFlight Logbook auto-export feature enables automated delivery of logbook files to the email address associated with the ForeFlight account every 30 days. This feature ensures a regular backup of logbook data using the following two export format options:
- CSV: A plain text file in table format, compatible with spreadsheet applications. Excludes signatures, endorsements, photos, and track logs.
- PDF (Complete Logbook - 2 Page): A comprehensive PDF including logbook entries (with category and class), endorsements, certificates, and license information.
Enabling Auto-Export
To enable the option to have a logbook auto-export, do the following:
- Log into ForeFlight on the Web.
- Navigate to the Logbook view.
- Select the Settings tab.
- Slide the Export to Email switch to On.
- Choose the desired export format: CSV (selected by default), PDF, or both.
Once enabled, an email with the logbook export will be sent to the associated email address within minutes. Exports will then be automatically sent every 30 days. Use the Export Now option to immediately send an export email.
WARNING: Reimporting a CSV file into Logbook will import all the entries within the CSV file. If those entries already exist in the logbook, then the import will cause duplicate entries to be made.
Managing the Export Schedule
Turning the auto-export switch off and back on resets the 30-day schedule. Exports will resume 30 days after the switch is re-enabled.
