Adding a New Aircraft or Simulator

Adding equipment to your logbook is a straightforward three-step process designed to capture all necessary information efficiently.

​

Step 1: Select Equipment Type

Choose between two equipment categories:

• Aircraft – Real flying machines with official tail numbers and registrations
• Simulator – Flight training devices including FFS, FNPT, FTD, ATD, and other training equipment

​

Step 2: Enter Basic Details

​

For Aircraft

The aircraft entry process includes automatic registration lookup to speed up data entry:

1. Registration Lookup – Enter the tail number (minimum 3 characters) and click Next
   • The system automatically searches aircraft databases
   • Pre-fills manufacturer, model, ICAO type, and owner information when available
   • Adds owner company as a tag automatically
2. Manual Entry – If lookup doesn’t find results, you can continue with manual entry:
   • Tail Number / Registration (required) – Official registration (e.g., N12345)
   • Manufacturer (required) – Select from comprehensive list or enter custom value
   • Model (required) – Choose from manufacturer-specific models or enter custom
   • ICAO Type – Auto-filled when selecting from predefined models, or enter manually
   • Aircraft Image – Upload a photo for visual identification (optional, max 5MB)

​

For Simulators

Simulator entry focuses on training device specifics:

• Simulator Name (required) – Descriptive name (e.g., “Boeing 737 MAX FFS”)
• Registration / ID (required) – Unique identifier for the simulator
• Simulator Category (required) – Select from:
  • FNPT I, II, III
  • Full Flight Simulator (FFS)
  • Flight Training Device (FTD)
  • Aviation Training Device (ATD)
  • Basic ATD (BATD)
  • Advanced ATD (AATD)
  • Other
• Manufacturer – Simulator hardware manufacturer (e.g., CAE, FlightSafety, TRU)
• Aircraft Type Simulated – The aircraft type this simulator represents
• Simulator Image – Upload a photo (optional)

​

Step 3: Additional Details

Complete your aircraft or simulator profile with additional information:

​

For Aircraft

• Engine Type (required) – Select from:
  • Piston Engine
  • Turbine Engine
  • Turboprop
  • Jet Engine
  • Electric
  • Diesel Engine
  • Reciprocating Engine
• Aircraft Class (required) – Choose from:
  • Single Engine Land
  • Single Engine Sea
  • Multi Engine Land
  • Multi Engine Sea
  • Helicopter
  • Gyroplane
  • Airship
  • Free Balloon
  • Other
• Multi-Pilot Configuration – Indicate if the aircraft requires multi-crew operation
• Tags – Add custom tags for quick filtering and organization (e.g., “Training”, “Rental”, “Personal”)
  • Press Enter to add tags
  • Tags appear as removable badges
• Notes – Add any additional remarks or important information about the aircraft

​

For Simulators

• Tags – Add searchable keywords for organization
• Notes – Enter any relevant information about the simulator

Troubleshooting

​

Registration Lookup Not Working

If automatic lookup doesn’t find your aircraft:

• Try entering just the registration number without prefixes
• Continue with manual entry – lookup is optional

​

Images Not Uploading

• Ensure file size is under 5MB
• Use common image formats (JPG, PNG, WebP)
• Check your internet connection
• Try refreshing the page and uploading again

​

Can’t Find an Aircraft

• Check if filters are active (look for filter badge count)
• Clear search terms
• Verify you’re looking in the correct view type
• Check if the aircraft might be archived or inactive
