Bridge Inspection Drone Log
Mission log for infrastructure inspection pilots: flights, batteries, structure / element findings and outcomes — the per-job record this industry audits.
GPS-denied environments under decks are the technical signature — position hold degrades, and logging which elements were captured (and which weren't reachable) defines the deliverable's honest scope.

About Bridge Inspection Drone Log
GPS-denied environments under decks are the technical signature — position hold degrades, and logging which elements were captured (and which weren't reachable) defines the deliverable's honest scope. The industry context: bridge work supplements (not replaces) certified inspections: drones document spalling, cracking and bearing conditions in places that otherwise need snooper trucks and lane closures. Log each mission here while it's fresh — site, duration, structure / element findings, outcome — and the operational questions (what did we fly, when, for whom, with what result) stay answerable in seconds for years.

Frequently asked questions
Can drones replace certified bridge inspections?+
No — in the US, NBIS inspections remain the certified inspector's responsibility; drones are a documentation tool that extends their eyes and cuts access costs (snooper trucks, lane closures, rope teams). The drone log's value is scope honesty: which elements were imaged, from what standoff, and which were unreachable (GPS-denied under-deck zones, wind limits), so the certified inspector knows exactly what the imagery does and doesn't cover.
How does this log interact with my regulatory flight log?+
They're complementary layers: your regulatory log (Part 107-style records, permission references) proves the flights were legal; this mission log proves they were professional — deliverables, findings, outcomes in the client's own vocabulary. Many operators export both for the same audit. Keeping them separate keeps each clean; keeping them both is what enterprise clients increasingly specify in vendor agreements.
Do I need an account or internet connection?+
No account and no connection are needed once the page has loaded — records live in local storage on your device and every calculation runs in your browser. Data doesn't sync between devices, so export the CSV when you want to move or archive your records.
How do I back up or print these records?+
Use the Export CSV button below the table: it downloads your full mission history as a spreadsheet-ready file. From there you can print a clean copy, archive it with your records folder, or import it into any other system. Exporting monthly is a good habit since the working data lives only in your browser.
