Pilot-built software for interview-ready logbook digitization
Digitize your paper logbook into an airline interview-ready record package.
Take photos with your phone or upload page images from scans. LogbookReady extracts the flight entries into structured records, shows them beside the original page for review, then exports spreadsheets, LogTen Pro and ForeFlight beta CSVs, discrepancy reports, and a printable interview packet.
Paid beta. The software digitizes the first pass; pilots review and approve every exported record.

The real problem
The hard part is getting your flight history out of paper and into an interview format.
Airline applications and professional pilot interviews do not wait for a spreadsheet cleanup project. LogbookReady exists for the pilot who has the time in the book, but still needs a clean digital record package.
Manual digitizing steals interview prep time
Typing years of flight history line by line is the wrong place to spend your energy when an airline application or interview is getting close.
Interview records need more than raw OCR
A screenshot full of recognized text is not a finished logbook. You need structured rows, clear totals, and a way to inspect anything uncertain.
Exports have to fit the job
Airline interviews, professional pilot applications, spreadsheets, and digital logbook imports each need cleaner output than a pile of scanned pages.
What doing nothing costs
Waiting keeps the hardest work hidden until the deadline.
Manual digitizing lands closer to the interview or application window.
Company printouts, paper pages, and old handwriting stay scattered across formats.
A fast extraction pass can create false confidence if nobody reviews the records.
Import files, spreadsheets, and printable interview packets take longer when the source logbook is still only on paper.
A simpler plan
The software does the transcription pass. You make the final call.
LogbookReady turns page images into flight records, keeps the original page visible, brings uncertain fields forward, and exports only pilot-approved rows.
Capture or upload page images
Use your phone for paper logbook pages, or upload JPG/PNG images exported from scans or company printouts.
Let LogbookReady extract the rows
The software analyzes each page, turns flight entries into structured records, and flags fields that need attention.
Review, approve, and export
Approve the records you trust, then export spreadsheets, LogTen Pro and ForeFlight beta CSVs, discrepancy reports, and a printable interview packet.
Built from the interview prep problem pilots actually feel.
LogbookReady is a Mav Ignite LLC product shaped by Marc Hudson's eight years as an airline pilot and repeated cycles of preparing logbooks for airline interviews. The product is built around the real job: digitize the logbook faster, keep the pilot in control, and leave with a professional record package.

Product value
The deliverable is a reviewed logbook package, not just text from a page.
The beta workflow focuses on the package airline-bound pilots need first: digitized records, import-ready files, discrepancy visibility, and a printable interview packet that looks like it belongs in a professional pilot interview.
Software does the first pass
LogbookReady reads each page image and builds structured flight records so you are reviewing data, not starting from a blank spreadsheet.
You stay responsible for the logbook
Rows stay draft until you approve them, with low-confidence fields brought forward before anything becomes exportable.
Interview-ready deliverables
Build a reviewed record package with spreadsheets, beta destination CSVs, discrepancy visibility, and a printable interview packet.
Built for pilot job prep
The workflow is centered on the moments pilots actually care about: applications, interviews, import cleanup, and a professional-looking packet.
Mav Ignite pilot perspective
The product comes from the founder's own airline interview logbook prep, not a generic document-scanning template.
Why this approach
More useful than OCR. More self-serve than transcription.
Manual entry
Maximum control, but slow enough to crowd out interview prep and easy to postpone until the deadline is uncomfortable.
Generic OCR
Fast text capture, but usually no pilot logbook structure, confidence review, approval gate, or interview packet.
Concierge transcription
Helpful for complex cases, but often slower, higher cost, and less self-serve when you just need to move.
LogbookReady
Pilot-built software that digitizes page images into reviewable records and exports a job-ready logbook package after your approval.
Beta pricing
Start with three real pages from your own logbook.
Test the digitizing workflow on your own handwriting, your own scan quality, and your own interview goal before buying a page package.

Top-Up

Built around pilot responsibility, not blind automation.
LogbookReady speeds up digitization, but each pilot reviews and approves their own records before export. The product is designed for career stakes: use software to move faster, then verify the package before it leaves your account.

FAQ
Clear answers before you upload.
What does LogbookReady actually do?+-
LogbookReady is web software that digitizes pilot logbook page images. It extracts the flight entries into structured records, shows the original page beside the data for review, and exports approved records into spreadsheets, beta destination CSVs, discrepancy reports, and a printable interview packet.
Is LogbookReady a replacement for my official logbook?+-
No. LogbookReady is an assistive conversion and reporting workspace. The pilot reviews and approves records and remains responsible for final logbook accuracy.
What can I upload during beta?+-
The launch workflow supports JPG and PNG page images, including phone photos and image files exported from scans or company printouts. Direct PDF upload is gated until page splitting and rasterization are fully tested.
Can I test it before paying?+-
Yes. New users can try three pages free before buying a page package.
What exports are available?+-
Current beta outputs include reviewed record CSV, ForeFlight beta CSV, LogTen Pro beta CSV, XLSX spreadsheet workbook, summary JSON, discrepancy report, and printable interview packet from approved records.
Are ForeFlight and LogTen exports guaranteed to import perfectly?+-
No guarantee should be claimed yet. Export formats are built from dated templates and require real pilot beta import testing before stronger compatibility claims are made.
Does AI decide what gets exported?+-
No. AI and OCR assist with digitizing and extracting the first pass, but rows remain draft until the pilot reviews and approves them.
Do you support exact airline application templates?+-
Generic major-airline preparation and FAA 8710-1/IACRA worksheet outputs exist. Exact named airline templates stay locked until active forms are verified.
What happens to my data?+-
The app uses private workspaces, user-level access, and deletion controls. Source images and OCR artifacts follow the retention policy shown in the account data controls.
