Data — Back up & Transfer

The Data page bundles everything you've set up in Ro Flight — your aircraft profiles, your saved flight plans, and your pilot profile — into a single file. Use it to keep a backup, or to move everything across when you switch to a new device.

How to get here: open the flyout menu and choose Data.

The Data page — Export and Import cards

Export data

Tap Export data to write everything out as a .json file. Ro Flight hands the file to your device's share sheet as roflight-backup-YYYYMMDD.json, so you can save it to Drive or Files, email it to yourself, or send it straight to another device — wherever you want to keep the backup.

Import data

Tap Import data and pick a previously exported backup file. Because importing replaces everything currently on the device, Ro Flight first asks you to confirm with a “Replace all data?” dialog — this overwrites all aircraft profiles, flight plans, and your pilot profile, and cannot be undone. Choose Replace to go ahead, or Cancel to back out.

After importing on a new device, remember to set your ROMATSA login on the Pilot Profile page and run Test Login before you file any flight plans.
