FlightLogger Integration

This guide explains how to connect FlyData to your FlightLogger account so that flight data recorded by FlyData is automatically submitted to FlightLogger after each flight.

---

How it works

When a flight is processed by FlyData, the FDR data is automatically sent to FlightLogger using your API token. FlightLogger then makes the flight available for viewing in your account.

---

Requirements

• A SILVER or GOLD FlyData plan
• A my|FlightLogger personal account with permission to create API keys
• The Company Admin role in FlyData

---

Step 1 — Create an API key in FlightLogger

1. Sign into your personal account at my.flightlogger.net
2. Click the API icon in the left-hand menu
3. Click Create API key
4. Fill in the key settings:
   • Name — something descriptive, e.g. FlyData Integration
   • Expiration — set according to your security policy (or no expiry for a long-lived integration)
5. Click Save
6. Copy the token immediately — it will not be shown again

If you need additional help creating the API key, see the FlightLogger guide: Getting started with the GraphQL API.

Security note: Keep this token safe. Anyone with it can communicate with the FlightLogger API on your behalf. If compromised, revoke the key in FlightLogger and create a new one.

Step 2 — Activate the integration in FlyData

1. Log into FlyData and click your user avatar (bottom of the sidebar)

2. Select Settings
3. Click the Integrations card

4. On the FlightLogger card:
   • Paste the token you copied from Step 1 into the API Token field
   • Make sure the Integration Enabled toggle is on

5. Click Save Integration

FlyData will validate the token with FlightLogger. If valid, the masked token appears and the integration is active.

---

Step 3 — Verify

After the next flight is processed by FlyData:

• In your FlightLogger account, the flight will appear with a View Track link that opens the FlyData shared flight view

---

Updating or rotating the token

If you need to replace the API token (e.g. after rotation or expiry):

1. Create a new API key in FlightLogger (Step 1 above)
2. Go to Settings → Integrations → FlightLogger in FlyData
3. Enter the new token in the API Token field — leave it empty to keep the current one
4. Click Save Integration

The previous token is replaced immediately. Any flights already submitted to FlightLogger are unaffected.

---

Disabling the integration

To stop submitting flights to FlightLogger without losing the token:

1. Go to Settings → Integrations → FlightLogger
2. Turn off the Integration Enabled toggle
3. Click Save Integration

Re-enable at any time using the same toggle. Flights processed while disabled will not be retroactively submitted.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Likely cause	Action
"Invalid FlightLogger API token" on save	Token was copied incorrectly or has been revoked	Regenerate the key in FlightLogger and paste it again
Integration saves but flights are not appearing in FlightLogger	Temporary integration or connectivity issue, or a delayed submission while FlyData retries sending the flight	Check FlightLogger again later. If the flight still does not appear, contact FlyData Support for verification
"Not available in your plan" badge on the Integrations card	FlyData plan does not include External API integrations	Contact your FlyData administrator to upgrade the plan
View Track link shows "link no longer valid"	The shared link has expired or been revoked	Open FlightLogger and click View Track again to get a new link
