Paper to digital
You do not have to use the GALogbook scanner app to digitize existing logbooks. Scan the records any way you prefer — document scanner, phone scanning app, scanning service, or another method — and upload the finished files to GALogbook.
Already have the logbooks scanned?
Upload the files directly. Choose the aircraft and the correct airframe, engine, or propeller section before importing.
Need to scan the records?
Use whatever scanner works best for you, or use the GALogbook Scanner App for direct phone capture and upload.
- Single upload: PDF, JPG, JPEG, or PNG.
- Maximum single-file size: 35 MB.
- Bulk import: PDF only.
- Bulk PDF maximum: 80 MB or 100 pages.
- For bulk import, each PDF page should contain one complete logbook entry.
- Multi-page entries should be uploaded separately so all pages remain together.
Scanner App
The GALogbook Scanner App lets you photograph paper logbook pages with your phone and upload them directly into GALogbook.
In the Scanner App, select the aircraft and the correct logbook or component before scanning so each page is sent to the correct place.
Detailed Scanner App instructions and screenshots can be added here as the app guide is built out.
↑ Back to topLogbooks
GALogbook keeps Airframe, Engine, and Propeller records organized by the component they belong to while keeping the original source scan connected to the saved digital record.
Scan and convert logbook entries
Scan paper logbooks with the GALogbook Scanner App, then convert the uploaded page into a digital logbook entry. Compare the converted information with the original scan, correct anything that needs attention, and save the approved entry.
Read the digital logbook
Open the Airframe, Engine, and Propeller logbooks and review the aircraft's organized logbook history.
Find previous work
Use the digital logbooks to find previous repairs, inspections, component work, alterations, and other work recorded for the aircraft.
Print or save the digital logbook
Open the printable version of the aircraft's approved digital logbook entries when you need a paper copy or want to save the logbook as a PDF.
Start this lesson?
Learning mode will guide you through the real GALogbook workflow one step at a time.
While the lesson is active, unrelated GALogbook links are temporarily disabled so you can stay focused on the guided workflow.
Your normal GALogbook links are restored when you choose Exit Learning.
Record a Logbook Entry
GALogbook also helps you create new logbook entries going forward. Use the aircraft information already stored in the system and AI-assisted tools to reduce repetitive entry work.
Enter a Logbook Entry Manually
Choose the correct component logbook and enter the logbook entry details on a blank form.
Text to logbook entry
Use Text to Logbook Entry when you want GALogbook to prepare a draft logbook entry from the details you provide instead of starting with a blank form.
Aircraft Status & Times
Use Aircraft Status to keep the aircraft and component times together with inspection and maintenance tracking.
Aircraft and component times
Review the current aircraft, engine, and component time information stored for the aircraft.
Required inspections
Keep required inspection dates and hour-based tracking visible instead of finding the information again in the logbooks.
Maintenance & Required Inspections
Keep last-completed information, due dates, due hours, recurring intervals, and notes connected to the aircraft record.
Oil Records & Oil Analysis
Keep oil service records and laboratory oil-analysis history with the correct engine.
Upload lab reports
Upload an oil-analysis report, let AI extract the sample history, review it, and keep the original report attached.
Trend history
Review saved sample history and trend graphs without rebuilding a separate spreadsheet.
Find the original report
Go to the saved oil-analysis history for that engine, then open the source laboratory report for the sample you need.
AD Search & Compliance
Use the aircraft and component information already stored in GALogbook to reduce repetitive AD research and keep the resulting work connected to the aircraft.
Search this aircraft
Choose the aircraft section below. This opens the saved aircraft or component information and its AD search controls.
Worksheet
Review applicability, compliance status, recurring requirements, next-due information, notes, and supporting evidence.
Import a prior report
Upload an existing AD compliance report and review the extracted information against the aircraft worksheet.
Find logbook proof
Open this aircraft's AD worksheet, open the AD you are checking, then use that AD's proof or supporting-evidence controls.
337 Forms
Upload 337 records, use AI-assisted grouping and extraction, review the proposed records, and keep the original source pages with the aircraft.
Upload a packet
Bring in individual forms or a larger scanned packet for review.
AI-assisted grouping
After a 337 packet is uploaded, go to the packet/grouping area and review how the pages are grouped before saving the forms.
Service Bulletins
Keep Service Bulletins with the aircraft and use AI assistance to extract identifying information, applicability details, and notes for review.
Upload individual PDFs
Add an individual Service Bulletin and keep the source PDF attached.
Bulk upload
Use the bulk workflow when a larger collection of Service Bulletin PDFs needs to be brought into the aircraft record.
Receipts & Supporting Records
Keep receipts, packing slips, certificates, release paperwork, vendor documents, and other supporting records tied to the aircraft.
Start AI receipt prefill
Upload the receipt first. On the review screen, use AI prefill, check the extracted fields against the source, then save it.
Find an original receipt file
Open this aircraft's receipt list, find the record you need, then use Open File to view the original uploaded document.
Weight & Balance
Keep Weight & Balance records with the aircraft instead of separating them from the rest of the aircraft history.
Upload a Weight & Balance PDF
Jump directly to the upload form, choose the official PDF, then click Upload and Review.
Review saved W&B records
Jump to the saved records, then use Review or Open PDF on the record you need.
Owner & A&P Access
The owner can give an A&P access to the aircraft record so both are working from the same organized history instead of sending scans, PDFs, and pieces of the record back and forth.
For the owner
Keep the aircraft record organized and make the same history available when maintenance or research is needed.
For the A&P
Spend less time searching logbooks, locating prior work, checking supporting records, rebuilding research, and preparing entries.
Troubleshooting
Do I have to use the GALogbook Scanner App?
No. Scan your logbooks however you want and upload the finished PDF, JPG, JPEG, or PNG files. The Scanner App is simply an additional direct-capture option.
Where does an uploaded logbook scan go?
It goes to the pending scanned-record workflow first. Review and approve the converted information before it becomes a finalized logbook entry.
Can I upload an entire scanned logbook as one PDF?
Bulk PDF import supports up to 100 pages, but each PDF page should contain one complete logbook entry. Multi-page entries should be handled separately so the pages remain together.
Why keep the original scan?
The converted digital information is easier to search and use, while the original source remains available whenever something needs to be verified.
AI did not read something correctly. What should I do?
Compare the result with the source, correct the field during review, and save the corrected record. A clearer scan may also improve difficult handwriting or faded records.
I have more than one aircraft.
Records remain tied to the aircraft they belong to. Choose the correct aircraft before uploading or working with an aircraft-specific feature.
