EASA Operational Authorization Log
Track every EASA permission request — reference, zone, validity window and status — with expiry badges and audit-ready export.
The authorization is operation-shaped, not site-shaped: fly outside its conditions (altitude, distance, scenario) anywhere and you're outside the Specific category entirely.

⚠️ 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 (EASA) and your operator's approved documents before flying.
Free easa operational authorization log: every authorization with its reference, window, conditions and status on one badge-watched board — the compliance trail EASA operations are audited on.
About EASA Operational Authorization Log
The authorization is operation-shaped, not site-shaped: fly outside its conditions (altitude, distance, scenario) anywhere and you're outside the Specific category entirely. Context: easa's specific category runs on operational authorizations from your national authority — via sora risk assessment, a predefined risk assessment (pdra), or an luc — each granting defined operations with conditions and validity periods. The discipline that survives audits is per-request logging: this tool keeps reference, validity and status per authorization, badges anything expired or refused, and exports the clean history that separates professional operators from hopeful ones.

Frequently asked questions
When does an EU drone operation need an operational authorization?+
When it exceeds the Open category's limits: beyond VLOS, above 120 m, over assemblies, drones over 25 kg, or outside the subcategory rules. Then you're in the Specific category needing an NAA authorization — via full SORA, a PDRA where one fits, or standard scenarios (STS) with declarations. Each grant carries conditions and an expiry; this log keeps every authorization's scope and validity visible so operations stay inside their paper.
How long should drone permission records be kept?+
At least as long as the longest tail on the operation: insurance claim windows (years), client contract retention clauses, and regulator audit reach. Three years is a sensible floor; operators under waivers or operational authorizations keep records for the life of the authorization plus its renewal cycle, because renewal reviews look backwards. Local storage plus monthly CSV archives covers all of it at zero cost.
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 authorization history, 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.
