Learn how to import your data from a supported logbook app or airline system using IPL’s built-in import tools.

Last updated 1 day ago

What Is a Supported Import?

A supported import means that IPL already knows how your file is structured.

When you choose one of the supported logbooks or airline systems:

  • The file format is recognized automatically

  • You don’t need to describe columns or map fields

  • IPL guides you step by step until the import is complete

This is the fastest and easiest way to import an existing logbook.

Importing from Ryanair

Ryanair imports are based on daily “Verified Flights” emails sent after each flying day. These emails can be imported directly into IPL as a text file.

  11. Review the detected flights in IPL and import them

Each Ryanair file represents one day of flights, with one entry created per flight.

ℹ️ Ryanair imports behave like manually entered flights and may use IPL auto-fill logic. Pilot Flying status, takeoffs, landings, fuel data, passenger information, and related calculations are processed automatically when available.

Crew identification

When importing Ryanair data, IPL automatically detects crew members listed in the file:

  • The list of crew found is displayed below the flights

  • You can indicate who you are

  • This choice is remembered for future Ryanair imports

Review and Clarification

After the file is analyzed, IPL shows a summary:

  • Entries ready for importing

  • Entries requiring clarification

Clarification may be required for:

  • Aircraft types

  • Crew identifiers

  • Other ambiguous data

Nothing is imported until all required clarifications are resolved.
