Wind Turbine Inspection Drone Log
Mission log for turbine blade inspectors: flights, batteries, turbine id / blade findings and outcomes — the per-job record this industry audits.
The asset owner's system thinks in turbine IDs and damage categories — a log keyed the same way (WTG number, blade, category) slots straight into their CMMS instead of a PDF graveyard.

Free wind turbine inspection drone log for turbine blade inspectors: missions with turbine id / blade findings, flight time, batteries and outcomes — structured the way this industry's clients audit.
About Wind Turbine Inspection Drone Log
The asset owner's system thinks in turbine IDs and damage categories — a log keyed the same way (WTG number, blade, category) slots straight into their CMMS instead of a PDF graveyard. The industry context: blade inspection by drone replaced rope teams for routine surveys: per-turbine flights documenting leading-edge erosion, lightning damage and surface cracks against category scales. Log each mission here while it's fresh — site, duration, turbine id / blade findings, outcome — and the operational questions (what did we fly, when, for whom, with what result) stay answerable in seconds for years.

Frequently asked questions
How are drone blade inspection findings categorised?+
Against severity scales the operator's maintenance system uses — commonly 1–5 from cosmetic to critical — per blade, per zone (root/mid/tip, leading/trailing edge), tied to the turbine ID. Logging in those native keys means findings import into the owner's CMMS and trigger work orders directly. Inspectors who deliver WTG-keyed structured data win repeat O&M contracts; those who deliver loose photo folders compete on price forever.
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.
Why doesn't this tool sync to the cloud?+
By design: operational records are sensitive, and the simplest privacy guarantee is never transmitting them. Local-only storage means zero servers, zero breach surface and zero subscription. If you work from several devices, keep one as the master record and move snapshots with the CSV export.
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.
