Military source records
AAMS, HARM/SARM exports, IFRs, UPT summaries, Form 8 context, and sortie history that needs to be organized into a civilian-friendly structure.
Military to civilian logbook prep
Military pilot logbook conversion for airline applications.
Bring your AAMS, HARM/SARM, IFRs, UPT summaries, paper logbooks, and civilian records into one organized Excel digital logbook with summary sheets built for applications and interviews.
Why this matters
Military records rarely line up cleanly with civilian applications.
Airline applications need clean totals, traceable entries, and summaries that are easy to explain. Military records often live across multiple systems and formats, so the work is not just typing lines into a spreadsheet. The goal is to build a master record that connects the original source documents to the numbers you submit.
If you are still flying, the Update Bundle is usually the better starting point because your totals can keep changing while applications, interviews, and follow-up requests are in motion.
What we handle
One place for mixed military and civilian records.
Civilian logbooks
Paper logbooks, electronic exports, Excel files, and other civilian records that need to live beside your military time in one master file.
Application summaries
Summary sheets for airline applications and interviews, so you are not rebuilding totals from scratch every time a new deadline appears.
Before you upload
Gather the records that explain the time, not just the final totals.
The cleanest military conversion projects start with the original source material. AAMS or HARM/SARM records are helpful, but they may not answer every airline application question by themselves. Training summaries, individual flight records, civilian logbooks, simulator records, and notes about aircraft or crew role can all matter.
You do not need to have the spreadsheet built before checkout. You do need to keep the source records available so the final Excel logbook can stay traceable back to the documents you provided.
Conversion focus
Where military logbooks usually need the most care.
Raw vs. converted time
Military source time, conversion adjustments, and airline-specific application totals should be labeled clearly so the numbers can be explained later.
PIC and crew role review
Aircraft commander, instructor, evaluator, single-seat, copilot, and civilian PIC time often need to be reviewed separately before summary totals are built.
Cross-country and route detail
Cross-country time can be hidden inside sortie history. The right total depends on the definition required by the application or certification purpose.
Current records
If you keep flying after the first delivery, updates help prevent a clean conversion from becoming stale during applications and interviews.

Military conversion FAQ
Do you only work with Air Force records?
Air Force records are a core focus because of the HARM/SARM background behind Beyond Blue Logbooks, but the Deluxe services can also handle civilian and mixed-format records.
Do I need every record before checkout?
You can purchase first, but turnaround begins only after your complete document upload and required worksheet/details are received.
Will this replace my original records?
No. Keep your original paper and military records. The deliverable is a digital working record and application summary package built from the records you provide.
Can you combine military and civilian flying?
Yes. The point of the Deluxe services is to consolidate mixed records into one working Excel logbook and summary package.
Do you decide what an airline will accept?
No. Airline instructions, FAA rules, and recruiting guidance control. We help organize the records and summaries so your totals are easier to review and explain.
