Pilot-built software for airline interview prep
Interview coming up? Get your logbook ready.
Before the deadline, upload page photos or JPG/PNG scans. LogbookReady extracts structured draft records, keeps each source page beside the rows for review, flags uncertain fields, and exports approved records into spreadsheets, beta LogTen Pro and ForeFlight CSVs, discrepancy reports, summary files, and a printable interview packet.
Try three real pages before buying. Paid beta: pilots review and approve every exported record.
The deadline problem
The hard part is not having the flight time. It is getting the record ready.
Airline applications and professional pilot interviews can turn a paper logbook into a last-minute data project. LogbookReady exists for the pilot who has the time in the book, but still needs a clean digital record package before the window closes.
Manual entry 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.
Generic OCR is not a logbook workflow
Recognized text is not the same as structured flight records, source-page review, confidence flags, and an approval gate before export.
Export files need approved records
Spreadsheets, import files, discrepancy checks, and interview packets need reviewed data, not raw text copied out of a scan.
What doing nothing costs
Waiting lets the logbook project grow quietly until it blocks interview prep.
Manual entry lands closer to the interview or application window.
Company printouts, paper pages, and old handwriting stay scattered across formats.
A fast OCR pass can create false confidence if nobody reviews the records.
Import files, spreadsheets, discrepancy checks, and printable interview packets take longer when the source logbook is still only on paper.
Review-first workflow
The software does the first pass. You make the final call.
LogbookReady turns page images into draft flight records, keeps the original page visible, brings uncertain fields forward, and exports only pilot-approved rows.
Upload page images
Use your phone for paper logbook pages, or upload JPG/PNG images exported from scans and company printouts.
Let LogbookReady build the first pass
The software analyzes each page, turns flight entries into structured draft records, and flags fields that need attention.
Review, approve, and export
Compare rows to the source page, approve the records you trust, then export your interview-ready package.
Built from the logbook 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.

Interview package
Build the package you wish you already had before application season.
Once records are approved, LogbookReady turns them into practical files for applications, import cleanup, discrepancy checks, and interview prep. The goal is a reviewed package, not just text extracted from a page.
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, summary files, 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 draft records and exports a job-ready logbook package after your approval.

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.
