FlightCapture is built around three real Cathay workflows: import the monthly roster, add Air Ready crew names before the flight, then complete actual times and aircraft details from the Flight Folder dashboard after landing.
Use each source for the part of the LogTen record it knows best.
Around the 15th of the month, open Cathay Crew Mobile and use Export Roster as .ICS File. Send the .ics file to FlightCapture, then choose all flights, future flights, or manually unselect individual sectors. Export the selected payload to LogTen by using the Export to Logten Pro button.
The day before the flight, open Cathay Air Ready, select the crew list, tap the ellipsis in the top right, then print or save the crew list into Photos. In FlightCapture, tap Add Crew List or Dashboard and select that crew list image. Review the data and when happy Export to Logten Pro
In Cathay Flight Folder on iPad, take a screenshot of the Dashboard page only after the flight has been completed and the OTP card times have turned green. Send the screenshot to your iPhone with AirDrop, or save it to Photos for later. In FlightCapture, tap Add Crew List or Dashboard and select that Dashboard image. Review the data by assessing the Screenshot image and when happy Export to Logten Pro
Most failures come from using the right source at the wrong time.
OCR is assistance, not authority. Check route, date, times, tail number and crew before exporting.
Do not select the crew list and dashboard together. Import the full crew list first, then the full dashboard screenshot after landing.
For post-flight times, wait until Flight Folder shows green OTP values. Earlier screenshots may be provisional.
The roster import gives LogTen the planned flight first. Later crew and dashboard imports can update that record.
If you use custom LogTen crew roles, open Settings > LogTen Integration and map operating crew, examiner roles and cabin roles before exporting.
Local history shows how a flight moves from roster import to crew capture, post-flight times and final LogTen export status.
Use these screens to confirm the app is configured before sending a payload to LogTen.
Onboarding stops if LogTen Pro is not installed on the same device.
Go to More, then choose LogTen Integration. LogTen settings are not duplicated elsewhere.
Only turn on custom roles if your LogTen crew setup differs from the default fields.
Match FlightCapture roles to the LogTen API field slots that should receive each crew member.
This is the mapping step that prevents crew exports landing in the wrong LogTen field.
FlightCapture uses the mapping you choose. LogTen's API field keys are fixed, so a custom
name in LogTen does not become the API key. If your ISM role is backed by LogTen Custom 1,
choose Custom 1 in FlightCapture; the export sends that crew member to
flight_selectedCrewCustom1.
Open LogTen and identify the exact crew slots you use for PIC, SIC, relief crew, examiners and cabin crew.
Open Settings > LogTen Integration > Crew Role Mapping. Map each FlightCapture role to the LogTen field slot that should receive it.
If LogTen Custom 1 is ISM or Custom 2 is SP, type those names into the matching Custom field labels before choosing them in the role picker.
If you use LogTen's default flight crew slots, leave PIC, SIC, Relief and Relief 2 alone.
FlightCapture will send those roles to flight_selectedCrewPIC,
flight_selectedCrewSIC, flight_selectedCrewRelief and
flight_selectedCrewRelief2.
TC, STC and BTC are separate examiner roles in FlightCapture. By default they map to LogTen Instructor, Observer and Observer 2, but you should change them if your own LogTen setup uses different slots. For cabin crew, map ISM, SP, FP and FA roles to the default Flight Attendant fields or to the Custom 1-10 slots you created in LogTen.
Use this if an import looks wrong before you send anything to LogTen.
Short answers for beta users.
The expected workflow updates the matching LogTen flight created by the roster import. Always review the export before accepting it.
FlightCapture uses the existing LogTen crew name rather than creating another copy of the same person.
You need the screenshots available on the iPhone running FlightCapture. iCloud Photos works; AirDrop also works.
You can, but it is weaker. The roster import gives LogTen planned flights first, then the later imports complete them.
Yes. In Settings > LogTen Integration, map FlightCapture roles to the LogTen field slots you use. If your custom ISM role uses LogTen Custom 1, select Custom 1 so the payload is sent to flight_selectedCrewCustom1.
History keeps the visible processing trail: roster-created flights, crew-name updates, post-flight dashboard updates and export status. It helps you see what has already been added before sending another payload to LogTen.
