First Launch
After installing FlightLog, take a few minutes to set up your profile and download the airport database. This ensures accurate logbook entries from the start.
1. Configure Your Profile#
Open Settings from the side menu and fill in your details:
- Name – your full name as it appears on your license.
- Role – select your function:
- CPT – Captain
- FO – First Officer
- OPL – Cruise Relief Pilot
- INS – Instructor
- STG – Student / Trainee
- Home Base – your primary airport (ICAO code, e.g.
LFPG).
2. Download the Airport Database#
Navigate to the Airports page from the side menu. You need to download the airport database so that FlightLog can auto-complete airport codes, names, and coordinates.
Choose one of two options:
| Option | Contents | Size |
|---|---|---|
| Regular | Main airports with runways longer than 1500 m | Smaller download |
| Complete | All airports, airfields, and heliports worldwide | Larger download |
3. Migrating from FlightLog v2#
If you previously used FlightLog v2, your data can be transferred seamlessly:
- Server Sync – If you had server sync enabled in v2, go to Sync and sign in with the same account. Your flights, aircraft, and settings will be restored.
- Dropbox Sync – If you used Dropbox, connect your Dropbox account from the Sync page and pull your latest backup.
