Who this drone flight log is for

This log is for drone pilots flying for fun, photography, inspections or work. It suits hobby flyers and licensed commercial pilots who need accurate flight records. Logging flights, batteries and maintenance keeps your drone reliable and helps you fly safely and legally.

Good records support insurance claims if something goes wrong.
