The Drone/UAV Flight Log & Maintenance Tracker keeps one record for every unmanned aircraft in your fleet: flight hours, battery cycles, components, inspections and open maintenance. It counts each aircraft and battery toward the intervals your maintenance program sets and shows what is coming due before it is overdue. Grounding and return to service stay with qualified people, and every log entry, sign-off and release is kept for inspectors and auditors.

What it is for

Many unmanned aircraft units still log flights on paper, in a ground control station's export or in a shared spreadsheet, and track maintenance somewhere else. Battery cycles are counted by hand, components move between airframes without the history following them, and nobody has a single view of which aircraft are mission capable today. When an aircraft fails or an inspector asks for its history, the record has to be rebuilt from several sources.

  • Flight hours and battery cycles are recorded in different places, or not at all
  • Maintenance intervals are tracked in spreadsheets that fall behind actual use
  • Components and batteries move between airframes without their history
  • Readiness and maintenance history are hard to show to commanders and inspectors

Who uses it

  • Unmanned aircraft units in the armed services and defense agencies
  • UAS maintainers and maintenance supervisors
  • Operations officers and commanders who need a current readiness picture
  • Fleet and program managers who plan spares, batteries and replacements
  • Safety officers, inspectors and auditors who review aircraft histories
