How to log the aircraft types you've flown on

Add the aircraft to a flight

Only three things are required for a flight: the date and the two airports. Everything else is optional, including two fields for avgeeks:

• Aircraft: the type, typed in as free text, such as A320, 737-800 or 787-9.
• Registration: the tail number, such as VH-VGF. It's saved in capitals.

Fill them in when you add the flight, or come back later: open the flight's page, tap Edit, add the aircraft and registration, and save. The flight's page then shows them next to the distance, duration, cabin and seat. See how to log past flights for adding older trips.

Scanned a boarding pass? Add the aircraft after

You can add a flight by scanning a boarding pass barcode, which fills in the date, route and flight details it holds. The barcode doesn't include the aircraft, so open the flight afterwards and add the type with Edit. Your old photos, the safety card or the seat-back screen are good places to find it.

Import aircraft from myFlightradar24 or a spreadsheet

If you already keep aircraft details somewhere else, bring them with you:

• myFlightradar24: an export brings the aircraft type and registration across with each flight. See how to import from myFlightradar24.
• CSV spreadsheet: a column named Aircraft, Aircraft type or Equipment is picked up as the type, and Registration, Reg, Tail or Tail number as the registration. If your headers aren't recognised, a mapping step lets you choose which column is Aircraft type and which is Aircraft registration. See how to import flights from a CSV.

Imports count toward the 10 free flights on the Free plan.

See your top aircraft in Stats

Open the Stats tab and you'll find a Top aircraft list next to your top airlines and busiest airports. It ranks your six most-flown aircraft types, with the number of flights on each. Only flights with an aircraft type entered are counted, so the list fills in as you add them.

Types are counted by their exact text, so A320 and Airbus A320 show up as two separate types. Pick one naming style and use it every time. If an import used a different style from the flights you typed in, edit those flights to match. See flight stats for everything else on the Stats tab.
