Thats great, thanks for registering. The first thing you need to do is ensure your profile is fully completed, make sure all fields have been filled out and you have uploaded a profile photo. Next start creating spotting trips, these are required before you can add sightings. Once you have added a trip you can then start adding aircraft sightings. You now have your account ready to add data, just repeat these steps as many times as you like.

You can see statistics and aircraft for a particular airline by visiting the extensive Reports section, from the list select the airline name, which are listed alphabetically. An airline profile page is then displayed displaying the total aircraft logged, the registrations and locations.

Yes you can export all of your sightings. To do this, visit the All Aircraft Logs Reports page and click Export All. A CSV file will be downloaded with every sighting at every location. It isn’t possible to export any of the photos.

We often get asked this question, unfortunately it is only possible to upload one photo per sighting, this is simply due to server disk space and the fact SpottingLog is primarily an aircraft sighting database not a photo library, the photo is just there to “backup” the sighting.
