⚠️ Not for operational decisions. This is a record-keeping and planning aid only — not certified avionics, not a source of regulatory truth. Always verify against official sources (DGCA) and your operator's approved documents before flying.

Frequently asked questions
What does this DGCA requirement actually involve?+
India's remote pilot certificate (RPC) — required for all but nano and non-commercial micro operations — is issued via DGCA-authorised RPTOs and is valid 10 years. Operationally, the piece that needs a tracker rather than a memory: the class system matters: RPC class (small/medium/large) and category (VLOS/BVLOS endorsements as they roll out) must match the drone flown, not just exist. Enter the real dates from your documents and let the badge own the renewal calendar.
What happens if this lapses mid-operation?+
Privileges pause the moment validity does — flights conducted on lapsed paperwork are violations regardless of skill or safety record, insurance positions weaken instantly, and client agreements with compliance warranties are breached. The recovery is usually quick (renew, retrain, refile) but the exposure window is the danger. A 45-day amber badge converts the whole category of incident into routine admin.
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.
Can I get my data out if I switch systems later?+
Always — the CSV export is a complete, lossless dump of your compliance board, generated locally in one click. Import it into commercial software, archive it with your files, or post-process it in a spreadsheet. No lock-in is deliberate: data you can't take with you isn't really yours.
