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. With White Glove, we complete the AirLogbooks setup for you. With Digital Files Only, we deliver structured files ready for your own import and organization workflow.
