Aircraft Records a Mess? We've Seen Worse.

From three-ring binders to cardboard boxes, we've seen just about every record-keeping system aviation has invented.

Let us put your Logbooks, 337s, STCs, 8130-3s, AD records, invoices, and supporting paperwork organized into a searchable digital format.

Already Have PDF Logbooks?

Great. That is the fastest path.

  • Upload your scanned logbooks and supporting records
  • We’ll review the files, estimate the work involved, and provide a quote before any work begins

Still Have Paper Logbooks?

No problem. Some of the best airplanes we see still have records living in binders. And, we have a scanner!

  • Ship the records to us or schedule a visit to Bridgeport, Texas
  • We’ll scan the records, organize them, and include the scanning work in your quote

Don’t Have Everything Organized?

Good. Don’t spend hours trying.

Send us what you have and we’ll sort out the details during the review process.

FAQ

Digitization FAQ

Do I need to digitize my old logbooks to use AirLogbooks?

No.

You can start using AirLogbooks today without digitizing your historical records.

  • Treat it as a new digital logbook going forward
  • Upload your existing logbooks as PDFs into the Aircraft Vault
  • Keep everything organized in one place

Digitization becomes valuable when you want:

  • Searchable records
  • Clean AD tracking
  • Filtering and reporting
  • Fully structured maintenance history

👉 In short: you can start simple—and upgrade when you’re ready.

How do I scan my logbooks?

Any scanning workflow that produces clean, readable PDFs can work. Adobe Scan is one of the easiest options, but it is not required. Keep pages flat, complete, in order, and readable for the best results.

What files can I send?

Typically scanned aircraft logbook PDFs and supporting maintenance documents such as 337s, 8130-3s, invoices, and related records.

Do you replace human review?

No. Wilbur helps with extraction, but this service still includes human review and validation before delivery.

What if some pages are hard to read?

Low-quality scans and difficult handwriting can affect what can be extracted. The process should preserve uncertainty rather than guess incorrectly.

What do I receive at the end?

You receive clean digital records. If you want help importing them into AirLogbooks, that can be included in your quote after we review the files.
