Free japan dips permission log: every authorization with its reference, window, conditions and status on one badge-watched board — the compliance trail JCAB operations are audited on.
About Japan DIPS Permission Log
The DID overlay is the planning trap: huge swathes of urban Japan are densely-inhabited-district airspace where even a hobby flight needs permission. Context: japan's system runs on dips 2.0: registration (with remote id), category i–iii operations, and permissions/approvals for the listed restricted flights — did (densely inhabited district) overflight, night, bvlos, above 150 m, near airports. 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
Which flights need JCAB permission or approval in Japan?+
The classic list: flying in DID (densely inhabited districts — most urban Japan), at night, BVLOS, within 30 m of people/objects, over event sites, above 150 m, near airports, and transporting/dropping objects. Applications go through DIPS 2.0, typically 10+ business days ahead, and grants carry conditions and validity windows. Logging each permission's scope and expiry (this tool) is standard practice for operators running recurring urban work.
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.
Is this tool private — who can see my entries?+
Only you. Entries live in your browser's local storage and never leave your device, so there is no account, no cloud sync and no one else with access. Because the data is device-local, export a CSV backup before clearing browser data or switching computers.
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.
