Reports

Creating your own customized reports

Over the years, FlightLogger has included more and more advanced reports to help Flight Schools and aviation operations around the world, to minimize their production costs.

But sometimes FlightLogger has been asked for very specific flight reports.

As an example, someone wanted a detailed sum of hours per instructor. Someone else wanted a report that used the fuel coefficient to calculate VAT returns based on aircraft hours.

All flight data can be exported to CSV files and used in Microsoft Excel (MS Excel). Note that all FlightLogger CSV exports are UTF-8 encoded, so to avoid errors, make sure to select UTF-8 when import into for example MS Excel.
 
In order to help our clients understand how MS Excel’s advanced formulas can be used to create really advanced reports, FlightLogger has tried to create a sample MS Excel spreadsheet.

Below are some examples of the reports in the spreadsheet: Student productivity, Flight Instructor productivity, and Aircraft hours.

Download the MS Excel spreadsheet

You can download the customer-specific reports.xlsx at the bottom of the page.

Please note that the Excel spreadsheet is built for a previous version of the Raw Data Flight Report.

It's no longer possible to generate a fully working report using this file, so this is only meant as inspiration for how you can use the Raw Data Flight Report to generate customized reportings.

Also note that FlightLogger does not offer any kind of support on customizing such reports for our clients.

Introduction video

FlightLogger has also created a video to help our customers use the spreadsheet.
Note that the video is based on an older version of the spreadsheet.
But it demonstrates the use of a CSV file.
On a PC you need to remember to import the CSV file into the existing FLData sheet in order for the formulas to work.
Default on Excel is import into a new sheet so instead of the “Insert” button – please remember to choose “Insert into …”.
