Issue Description	Hi Luke! I'd like to request we add additional fields to the "mylogbook.ws" service so I don't have to scrape them from the public pirep URL which can cause rate limit issues. Example pirep: https://www.deltava.org/pirep.do?id=0x1d31e3 The fields I’m requesting: Flight Route Takeoff Runway Landing Runway Passengers Carried Payload Weight Example shape: { "flightRoute": "IRQ YUTEE Q172 RAPZZ", "takeoff": { "runway": { "name": "27R", "surface": "Asphalt", "lengthFeet": 12389, "takeoffRunFeet": 6313, } }, "landing": { "runway": { "name": "17", "surface": "Asphalt", "lengthFeet": 7755, "thresholdDistanceFeet": 1277 } }, "passengersCarried": "121 passengers (78.57% full)", "payloadWeight": "21,090 lb passengers, 12,340 lb baggage/cargo (Passenger Load: ACTUAL)" }

Luke Kolin (DVA043) 07/09/2026 12:25 ET	You should already be getting passenger count and flight route.
Jacob Benjamin (DVA11384) 07/09/2026 12:57 ET	I attached a sample logbook file my app uses. Route is not exported. PAX I was confusing with the simbrief payload, so yes it is there.
Luke Kolin (DVA043) 07/10/2026 18:58 ET	What exactly are you calling this service for? This is not a trivial call, especially for people with very large logbooks.
Jacob Benjamin (DVA11384) 07/10/2026 20:06 ET	The app calls DVA’s mylogbook.ws export service to obtain a complete logbook file. That export is only done during a full sync request, not as a routine data request. The app opens logbook.do to obtain the pilot-specific export ID, then submits a POST request to mylogbook.ws with export=JSONExport. DVA generates and returns the pilot’s full logbook as JSON. The results are validated and stored locally as a logbook cache. Normal app features use that local copy rather than repeatedly requesting data from DVA.
Luke Kolin (DVA043) 07/12/2026 14:06 ET	Do you absolutely need the entire logbook, or a portion?
Jacob Benjamin (DVA11384) 07/13/2026 16:59 ET	I need the vast majority of the logbook. Entries I do NOT need are anything like lat/lon coordinates, updates such as "LIFECYCLE" or "DISPATCH", any extraneous times or counters like boarding time, deboarding time, taxi time, etc.
Luke Kolin (DVA043) 07/16/2026 20:30 ET	Almost all of the times are already in the ACARS_PIREPS table, which is being loaded for the logbook export. Why do you need a complete logbook sync?
Jacob Benjamin (DVA11384) 07/16/2026 21:48 ET	I sent you a message on discord. It might be easier if you see what im trying to do. Basically the mylogbook.ws service provides limited data. I instead have to scrape the PIREP html page to get the info i listed in the description. You'll see when you try the WiP build. You can also view the source code on the logbook branch in Github.
