Move your LogTen Pro logbook to Galley without losing a flight

LogTen’s menus can change. Its steps here come from LogTen’s help centre on the date shown; check there if a menu looks different.

My own logbook was in LogTen Pro. When I moved it to Galley, I wanted three things: every flight, the same totals, and the old logbook still readable while I checked the new one. These are the steps I used. I build Galley, so the LogTen steps below come from LogTen’s own help centre, linked under Sources.

1. Write down your totals in LogTen

Before you export anything, note the numbers you will check against. In LogTen on iPhone, tap Analyze, then All Entries: LogTen shows the totals for the whole logbook, and the same totals for each aircraft type. Write down total time, PIC, co-pilot, night, instrument time and day and night landings, and the totals for the types you fly now.

2. Export every flight from LogTen

LogTen calls its full flight export Export Flights (Tab). It writes every field of every flight to one plain-text .txt file that a spreadsheet can open.

• On iPhone or iPad: open Logbook, then Reports. Choose Export Flights (Tab) under Exporters, in the More section. Save the file to Files or send it to yourself, so you can open it where you use Galley.
• On a Mac: click Reports at the top of the window and choose Export Flights (Tab) among the exporters, not Dynamic Export Flights (Tab). Check that the selected group at the bottom reads All Entries, click Generate Report, then save the file with Save As.

LogTen’s help centre says plainly that this file is “not a complete backup”: it leaves out signatures and images, and the details you entered on People and Aircraft entries. Make LogTen’s own full backup as well, and keep it.

3. Or save your EASA logbook as a PDF

If you fly under EASA, you can move the printed logbook instead. In LogTen on iPhone, tap Report on the Logbook page, choose your EASA logbook report, tap Configure Report, then Generate, and save it with Save as PDF. On a Mac, double-click the report under Reports and choose Print/Save.

Galley reads a printed EASA logbook from the text inside the PDF, so it reads every figure exactly, and it checks each page against the total printed at its foot. Galley doesn’t import simulator sessions from a printed logbook yet; the import tells you how many it left out.

Choose one of the two for the import. The export file carries every field and the exact times; the PDF lets Galley check every page against its printed total.

4. Import the file into Galley

1. Open your logbook in Galley and tap Import. In an empty logbook, Import logbook is the first button. On a computer, galley.aero/app opens the same logbook, which helps when the file is on your Mac.
2. Tap Choose file and pick LogTen’s .txt file or the PDF. Galley recognises LogTen’s format, so you don’t match any columns.
3. Read the preview. Galley shows how many flights it read, the total time and the dates, then how many flights are new in your logbook, how many are already there, and every difference to check. It lists any line it skipped because the line has no date or time.
4. Tap Import. Galley saves nothing before you do.

A line with hours but no route, such as a balance brought forward, comes in as a previous-experience line: Galley counts it in your totals but not as a flight. A line with simulator time and no flight time comes in as a simulator session, outside your flight time. If you already entered totals brought forward in Galley, the flights on or before that date appear in the logbook, and Galley doesn’t count them twice.

The import is free, and so are the totals, the EASA and FAA print and the export.

5. Check the totals

In Galley, open the logbook’s Reports and print. The Totals card shows total time, pilot in command, co-pilot, multi-pilot, night, day and night landings and simulator time, and By aircraft type shows each type. Compare them with the numbers you wrote down in step 1.

LogTen’s printed logbook rounds each line to a tenth of an hour before it adds them up, so its printed totals can come out a few hours higher than the exact times in the export file. Galley adds the exact times from the export file and the printed lines from a PDF, so its totals match whichever one you imported.

When a total differs, the cause is usually one of three things: simulator sessions counted as flight time in one of the logbooks, positioning legs logged as flights, or a balance brought forward added twice. Correct the line in LogTen and import the file again, or edit the line in Galley.

When I moved my own logbook, I tried both. From the export file, every column in Galley came within five minutes of the times in the file over the whole logbook: the file writes hours with two decimals, and Galley keeps whole minutes. From the printed EASA pages, every page matched its printed total.

6. Sign the lines that need a signature

Signatures don’t travel in LogTen’s file. For a PICUS or training line that needs one, open the flight in Galley and tap Sign this flight, or Send a link to sign: the captain or instructor signs from the link, which works once and for 7 days.

7. Keep LogTen readable, then let your roster fill the logbook

LogTen says that when a subscription lapses, you keep full access to your logbook data but can’t add new flights. Your old logbook stays readable while you check the new one.

From here on, Galley fills the logbook from your roster: each landed leg becomes a line for you to confirm, and when your operator uses Leon, Galley takes the block times from the captain’s journey log. Logging from the roster, editing and signing are part of Galley Pro (€59.99 a year), which includes the logbook along with per diems, pay, alerts and hotel credit.
