Drone Fleet Service Bulletin Tracker

Track every applicable directive for UAS fleet operators — compliance method, last done, next due by date or hours — with overdue badges.

Firmware versions are the airworthiness directives of the drone world — a fleet flying mixed firmware after a mandatory safety update is the audit finding insurers look for first.

⚠️ 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 (FAA/EASA) and your operator's approved documents before flying.

A free AD/directive compliance board for UAS fleet operators: every directive with its method, last-complied date and next due, colour-coded before anything goes overdue. Firmware versions are the airworthiness directives of the drone world.

About Drone Fleet Service Bulletin Tracker

Airworthiness directives are where paperwork meets legality: drone manufacturers push mandatory firmware updates, battery recalls and airframe service bulletins; enterprise operators must evidence compliance for insurers, clients and (for certified categories) regulators. The operational trap — firmware versions are the airworthiness directives of the drone world — a fleet flying mixed firmware after a mandatory safety update is the audit finding insurers look for first. This board exists for exactly that seam: each directive carries its own method, dates and hour basis, repetitive items stay permanently visible, and the overdue logic runs every time you open the page. Inspections start from a reconciled baseline, and audits find a list instead of a scramble.

How to use Drone Fleet Service Bulletin Tracker

  1. 1Enter each applicable directive with its compliance method and dates.
  2. 2Update 'last complied' and 'next due' at every sign-off.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as a 'service bulletin' for a drone fleet?+

Manufacturer safety notices, mandatory firmware releases (especially those gating geofencing or battery-management fixes), battery recall campaigns, and component replacement advisories — anything the maker designates safety-related. Enterprise contracts and insurance proposals increasingly ask 'how do you track manufacturer bulletins across the fleet?'; a per-airframe compliance board with due dates is the answer that closes that question.

How should repetitive ADs be tracked differently from one-time ADs?+

A one-time AD is history once signed off; a repetitive directive is a living deadline that regenerates at every compliance. Track repetitive items with their interval logic — the next-due date or hour figure updated at each sign-off — and keep them on the board forever. This tracker's repetitive-items counter exists because those entries, not the one-time ones, are where airworthiness quietly lapses.

What happens if an AD goes overdue?+

The aircraft is unairworthy as a matter of law until compliance — insurance may be void, and flight (except under a ferry permit specifically issued for the purpose) is illegal. The cure is compliance plus a proper maintenance record entry. The practical defence is never reaching that state: a 30-day amber warning against a reconciled list is dramatically cheaper than a ferry permit and a sheepish call to your insurer.

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 export these records for an audit?+

Yes — one click exports your complete AD compliance list as a CSV file that opens in Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers. The export preserves every column exactly as entered, so you can print it, attach it to paperwork, or hand it to an inspector, buyer or insurance underwriter as a supporting summary alongside your official records.
