Stockpile Survey Drone Log
Mission log for mining and aggregates surveyors: flights, batteries, stockpile ids / volumes and outcomes — the per-job record this industry audits.
The auditors eventually arrive — volumes that move money need the capture parameters and base-surface assumptions logged per survey, or year-end reconciliation becomes archaeology.

Free stockpile survey drone log for mining and aggregates surveyors: missions with stockpile ids / volumes, flight time, batteries and outcomes — structured the way this industry's clients audit.
About Stockpile Survey Drone Log
Professional drone work is judged on records as much as imagery, and for mining and aggregates surveyors the bar is specific: volumetric surveys price inventory: monthly stockpile flights produce volumes that hit the balance sheet, making accuracy parameters (GSD, GCPs, base surface) financial controls rather than technical trivia. Hence this log's structure: missions keyed by stockpile ids / volumes, outcomes explicit (including aborts — they're data), totals and recency computed live. The auditors eventually arrive — volumes that move money need the capture parameters and base-surface assumptions logged per survey, or year-end reconciliation becomes archaeology.

Frequently asked questions
Why do stockpile survey parameters matter to accountants?+
Because the volumes feed inventory valuation: a density assumption times a measured volume is a balance-sheet number, and auditors reconciling year-end inventory ask how each month's volume was derived — GSD flown, control used, base surface (toe definition) applied, software settings. Surveys logged with those parameters reconcile in minutes; surveys that are just a number in a spreadsheet trigger re-flights and adjustments. The log IS the control.
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.
What happens to my entries if I clear my browser?+
Clearing site data deletes locally stored entries — that's the price of a genuinely private, server-free design. Protect yourself with the one-click CSV download before any cleanup, OS reinstall or device change: re-importing history later beats reconstructing it from memory.
What format does the export use and what reads it?+
A plain CSV with one row per entry and labelled column headers — the most portable format there is. Spreadsheets open it directly, most specialised software can map it on import, and a printed copy is perfectly legible to a human reviewer. Nothing proprietary means your mission history is never trapped here.
