Why choose Aculog?

At AcuLog, we’re more than just data entry specialists—we’re aviation professionals who understand the industry.

Our U.S.-based team is passionate about helping pilots by auditing and transcribing logbooks with precision and care.

Why spend hours combing through flight records when you can trust experts who speak your language? Our team has both aviation and accounting expertise, meaning we not only transcribe your logbook accurately but also spot mathematical or regulatory discrepancies pilots might miss. If you choose our audit service, we’ll flag as many potential issues as we can before they become a problem.

We’ve helped countless pilots pass interviews, and some of our customers report back that zero logbook questions were asked—because their records were meticulously converted and audited. That’s what drives us.

With our vast knowledge and direct experience with leading logbook programs—including LogTen, ForeFlight, AIROS, Safelog, MyFlightBook, and more —AcuLog makes digitizing and managing your digital flight records effortless. We can even assist with importing data or coordinating directly with your logbook provider.

We’re committed to exceptional service, reasonable turnaround times, and fair pricing.

Don’t let messy logbooks or errors hold you back from transitioning to a digital logbook. Let AcuLog handle the details so you can focus on flying.

How does AcuLog price services?

Each project is unique; therefore, AcuLog requests that all potential customers submit a quote request form.  Our team will review the inquiry and send a price quote by email. If needed, AcuLog can discuss project details with a customer by email or phone prior to preparing a quote.

How do I send my paper logbooks to AcuLog?

Don’t mail your valuable logbooks!

We request that all standard logbooks be scanned digitally or photographed. We recommend your phone/tablet camera or using a mobile scanning app to combine all images chronologically into a single PDF file; one PDF file is required per logbook. We do not accept individual images. The left and right side of each page should be in the same image frame, as shown below.

Download a High-Quality Scanning App:

  • CamScanner (found on iOS​ App Store or Play Store)

AcuLog accepts other file types for non-standard flight logs/custom projects, like PDF, Excel, .csv, .txt, Word, etc., but those formats should be discussed with AcuLog during the quoting process. In some cases, we do request sample files before quoting.

After a quote has been accepted, customers can upload their files directly to our team here: https://www.aculogconversion.com/uploadfiles

(additional instructions are included in each quote)

* Note: AcuLog will not accept a shipment of original logbooks of any kind.

What data do you transcribe?

AcuLog will transcribe all data required for import, with the exception of remarks, endorsements, and approach types (we do capture quantity of approaches). If a customer requests or simply has less data than a standard logbook or flight log provides, our cost per line will be adjusted accordingly.

Know that any data can be changed or added to an e-file by the customer at any point after transcription is complete.

How long does the average conversion project take?

Current project timelines are always listed on the front page of our website and are updated periodically.

If AcuLog has a large number of quote requests and projects, on occasion, we may make the tough decision to turn off quoting for all services temporarily while we work to complete active projects.

Timelines quoted for each project are subject to the amount of data, the complexity of the project, the customer's timeline, and other project variances, but most importantly, AcuLog's active customer project queue.

The project start-time begins once a quote has been approved, deposit has been paid, and all logbook image files are uploaded to our team.

How to pay for services?

Once a quote is approved, an initial invoice will be sent by email requesting a 50% deposit to start the project. Customers can pay with any major debit/credit card right from the invoice link online.

Final payment isn't due until project completion, when all data has been approved by the customer and an accurate line count has been confirmed for any potential adjustment. A final invoice will be sent for the balance due.
