Survey Drone Mission Log
Per-flight survey drone mission log with GSD, overlap settings, images captured and GCP count — totals and recency computed live, stored privately in your browser.
Photogrammetry contracts are won on documented quality: clients ask for GSD achieved, overlap settings and control-point notes per mission, alongside the regulatory flight record.

⚠️ 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) and your operator's approved documents before flying.
A free survey drone mission log for mapping pilots: log every flight with GSD, overlap settings, images captured and GCP count, watch totals and 90-day activity update live, and export audit-ready CSVs. Browser-only and private.
About Survey Drone Mission Log
For mapping pilots, the flight log is the operation's memory. Photogrammetry contracts are won on documented quality: clients ask for GSD achieved, overlap settings and control-point notes per mission, alongside the regulatory flight record. Each entry here captures the fields that matter — including GSD, overlap settings, images captured and GCP count — and the tracker maintains rolling totals and a 90-day activity count automatically. Everything stays in your browser until you choose to export it, which makes this a zero-friction habit that pays off the first time someone official asks for your records.

Frequently asked questions
What should a mapping mission record include beyond the basic flight log?+
The settings that determine deliverable quality: planned and achieved GSD, front/side overlap percentages, altitude, images captured, ground-control-point count and processing notes. When a client questions an orthomosaic six months later, this metadata answers whether the flight could have met spec — and it's the institutional memory that makes your next quote for a similar site accurate.
How long should drone flight records be kept?+
Keep them for at least the life of any waiver, permit or insurance policy they support — three years is a sensible floor, and contract work often specifies retention in the services agreement. Because this tool stores data locally, make the monthly CSV export part of your routine and archive the files with the matching job paperwork.
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, remember to export a CSV backup before clearing browser data or switching computers.
Can I get my data out if I switch tools later?+
Always — the CSV export is a complete, lossless dump of your drone flight history, generated locally in one click. Import it into commercial logbook software, archive it in your records folder, or post-process it in a spreadsheet. No lock-in is a deliberate design decision: data you can't take with you isn't really yours.
