The decision to leave LogTen Pro is rarely made lightly. For many pilots, years of flight history sit in that app. Every sector, every night hour, every type rating, every currency record. The thought of switching feels like opening a door and finding nothing on the other side.
That hesitation is understandable. It is also the reason most pilots stay with LogTen Pro long after it has stopped meeting their needs. Not because it is the best option, but because leaving feels risky.
It is not. Your data transfers completely. Your hours, flight history, aircraft types, approaches, instrument time, and currency records all move to Wingman without loss. The process is straightforward, Wingman's team handles the heavy lifting, and most pilots are fully operational in Wingman within 24 to 48 hours of making the decision.
This guide covers exactly why pilots are making the switch in 2026, what you need to do before leaving LogTen Pro, and the complete step-by-step migration process so you arrive in Wingman with everything intact.
Why Pilots Are Finally Making the Move
The frustration with LogTen Pro has been building for years. Pilots of America forums, Reddit's r/flying, and airline-specific pilot groups are full of threads from pilots who have reached the same conclusion from different directions.
Some are tired of paying $129/year for a product that only works on Apple. Their airline issued them an Android device, or they simply prefer Android, and LogTen Pro simply does not follow them. Some have colleagues at international carriers who fly under DGCA, GCAA, or GACA regulations and have discovered that LogTen's export formats do not match what their authority requires. Some have done the maths on what they are paying, compared it to what Wingman charges at $59/year, and found the case for switching hard to ignore.
And many are simply exhausted by manual data entry. Every flight logged manually. Every sector typed in by hand. The same information that already exists in their airline's scheduling system, re-entered from memory or a screenshot of their roster.
Wingman solves all of these problems. It is cross-platform across iOS, Android, and web. It integrates directly with 400+ airline scheduling systems for automatic roster import. It generates compliant exports for 15+ regulatory authorities. And it costs $59/year, less than half of LogTen Pro's price.
The decision to switch has never been easier to justify. What has held pilots back is not the logic. It is the fear of losing their data. Detailed comparison of Wingman vs LogTen Pro
What Actually Transfers From LogTen Pro to Wingman
Everything that matters moves across. Here is what Wingman's migration process preserves from your LogTen Pro export:
All flight entries including date, departure and arrival airports, aircraft type and registration, block time, and flight time
Day and night hours, broken out separately
PIC, SIC, Co-Pilot, and dual time
Instrument time, simulated instrument time, and approach types
Simulator and FTD entries
Landings (day and night)
Remarks and notes per entry
Aircraft profiles and types
Carry-forward totals from previous logbooks
Custom fields specific to LogTen's proprietary setup may require a manual review step, but core flight data transfers completely. If you have been logging consistently and accurately in LogTen Pro, your Wingman logbook will be accurate and complete from day one.
Before You Start: Export Your LogTen Pro Data
The migration process begins on your end with a data export from LogTen Pro. This takes approximately five minutes and produces the files Wingman needs to complete the transfer.
Step 1: Set Your Time Format to UTC
Before exporting, make sure LogTen Pro is set to display times in UTC and in 24-hour format. This ensures your block times and flight times transfer with the correct values.
On iPhone or iPad: go to Settings within LogTen Pro and confirm that UTC time is selected.
On Mac: go to Settings, then Display Options, and confirm that Use Zulu (UTC) Time is selected.
Step 2: Export Your Flight Data
On iPhone or iPad:
Open LogTen Pro and go to the Reports section
Select Exporters from the list
Choose Export Flights (Tab) — not the Dynamic Export option. The Dynamic Export does not always contain complete data and is not recommended for migration
Save the exported .txt file to your device or cloud storage
On Mac:
Open LogTen Pro and go to File in the menu bar
Select Export
Choose Export Flights (Tab) and save the file to your computer
Also export your Address Book (pilot information) if prompted
Step 3: Export Your Aircraft Data
LogTen Pro stores aircraft as a separate file from flight entries. Export this separately:
In the same Exporters or File > Export menu, select the Aircraft export option
Save this file alongside your flights export
You will now have two files: one containing your flight entries and one containing your aircraft profiles. Both are needed for a complete migration.
The Wingman Migration Process
With your export files ready, the migration to Wingman is handled by the Wingman team directly. You do not need to map fields, write scripts, or manually match columns. Wingman's team does this for you.
Follow the complete migration guide at the official Wingman support article: How to Migrate Data From Other Logbook Apps or Excel to Wingman
The process works as follows:
Download Wingman on iOS, Android, or open it in your browser at Wingman Pilot Logbook
Create your account and select your primary regulatory authority (FAA, EASA, DGCA, GCAA, or any of the 15+ supported authorities)
Send your export files to the Wingman team through the in-app support channel or the email at support@wingmanzohodesk.com
Wingman's team maps and imports your data, verifying carry-forward totals, aircraft types, and time breakdowns for accuracy
Review your imported logbook against your LogTen Pro totals to confirm everything has transferred correctly
Connect your airline roster if your airline is supported for automatic import going forward
Upgrade to Pro at $59/year when you are ready, or continue on the free tier if you are under 250 hours
The entire process typically takes 24 to 48 hours from the moment you submit your files. Most pilots describe the experience as significantly easier than they expected.
Common Migration Questions Answered
Will my carry-forward totals transfer correctly?
Yes. Wingman's team specifically verifies carry-forward totals during the migration process. If your LogTen Pro logbook included carry-forward entries from a previous physical logbook, these are preserved as opening balance entries in Wingman.
What if I have been logging in LogTen Pro for over ten years?
The length of your logbook history does not affect the migration process. Wingman has handled migrations of 15,000+ flight entries without issue. The team processes the entire export file regardless of how many years of data it contains.
What happens to my LogTen Pro data after I switch?
Nothing. Your LogTen Pro data remains in the app and in any backups you have made. Wingman creates a separate, complete copy of your records. You do not delete anything from LogTen until you are fully satisfied with your Wingman logbook.
What if I have custom fields in LogTen Pro?
Standard flight data fields transfer completely. Custom fields that exist only in LogTen Pro's proprietary structure may not have a direct equivalent in Wingman. The Wingman team will advise you on which custom fields are preserved during the review process and which may need to be recorded in the remarks section.
Can I continue adding flights in LogTen Pro while waiting for the migration?
Yes. Export your data, submit it to Wingman, and keep logging in LogTen Pro as normal while the migration is in progress. When Wingman confirms the import is complete, simply add any flights logged in the interim. Wingman's team can re-run the migration with an updated export if the gap is significant.
What if my LogTen Pro data has errors?
Wingman's team reviews the import for obvious inconsistencies such as flight times that exceed 24 hours or block times that do not reconcile. If errors are found, the team flags them for your review before finalising the import. This review step sometimes catches errors that were already present in LogTen Pro, giving pilots a cleaner logbook than they started with.
What You Gain the Moment You Switch
The migration is not just a lateral move. The moment your data is in Wingman, several things improve immediately.
Roster import activates. If your airline is among Wingman's 400+ supported integrations, you connect your scheduling system and your logbook starts filling itself. IndiGo, Air India, Emirates, Etihad, flydubai, British Airways, WestJet, and hundreds more. The manual entry that defined your LogTen Pro experience disappears.
Android access opens up. If you carry an Android device, your logbook is now on it. Fully native, fully functional, fully synced with your iOS and web access.
Your authority's export format is ready. Whether you need DGCA CA-39 reports, GCAA exports, GACA formats, EASA FCL.050, or FAA §61.51 reports, Wingman generates them correctly. LogTen Pro's EASA-and-FAA-only export limitation no longer applies.
You stop paying $129/year. At $59/year, Wingman is less than half the price. The saving over a 20-year flying career is meaningful.
What Pilots Say About Making the Switch
"I was honestly a little hesitant spending the upgrade cost but I have no regrets whatsoever. With the kind of interface eGCA currently has, it would have taken me a lifetime to upload 5 years of flight experience through the portal. Wingman did it in a couple of days." Line pilot, major Indian carrier
"The AIMS import feature is a life saver. With just 2 clicks, I have all my flights imported. I have tried so many apps and roster import just does not work in them." Airline First Officer
"The automatic roster import is a game changer. It simplifies logging by eliminating manual entries, saving me time and ensuring accuracy. I highly recommend it to any pilot." Captain, major Middle East carrier
"I have used logbook apps previously. Data input in them was a tedious task. Wingman has a much better user experience and it takes minimal effort to fill up my logbook." Line pilot, wide-body operations
After the Migration: Getting the Most From Wingman
Once your data is in Wingman and you have verified the totals, a few setup steps will make the experience complete.
Connect your airline roster. Go to Settings, then Roster Import, and follow the instructions for your airline's scheduling system. Once connected, flights will import automatically on a daily basis.
Set up your currency tracking. In Settings, configure your recency requirements for your regulatory authority and operation type. Add your medical, type ratings, and endorsements with their expiry dates so Wingman notifies you in advance.
Set DGCA as your authority if you are an Indian pilot. Connect your eGCA account for direct upload. Your Wingman logbook and eGCA record will stay in sync automatically from this point.
Explore the web version. Open Wingman Pilot Logbook on any PC or Mac. Your logbook is fully accessible without installing anything, which is useful for generating reports before interviews or authority appointments.
The Verdict on Switching
See the full feature-by-feature comparison Your LogTen Pro data is safe. It transfers completely. And the process is handled by Wingman's team so you do not need to do it alone.
The fear of losing years of flight history has kept many pilots in LogTen Pro well past the point where they would have preferred to leave. That fear is not warranted. Your hours, your history, your currency records, and your carry-forward totals all arrive in Wingman intact.
What you gain on the other side is an app that works on every device you carry, costs half what you are currently paying, imports your roster automatically from 400+ airlines, covers your regulatory authority properly wherever in the world you fly, and keeps your logbook current without requiring you to touch it after every sector.
The migration takes 24 to 48 hours. The savings and the convenience last the rest of your career.
