A digital drone logbook for commercial UAV pilots
Call it a drone logbook, a UAV log book or a UAS flight record — it is the same job, and it is the paperwork every commercial pilot puts off. AeroNote turns one sentence about your flight into a complete, audit-ready log book entry, then exports it as a PDF, a CSV or a client invoice.
First flight log is free · $4.99/month or $59/year after that
Drone, UAV, UAS — one set of records
The terminology splits by audience. The FAA writes about unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). Insurers and enterprise clients tend to say UAV. Everyone else says drone, and plenty of pilots still write "log book" as two words in the notebook on the passenger seat. None of that changes what has to be recorded: who flew, which airframe, for how long, where, under what airspace authorization, and in what conditions.
AeroNote keeps a single record that answers all of them. When a client asks for your UAV flight log, an insurer asks for UAS operating records, or an auditor asks for your Part 107 log book, you export the same entries.
What a commercial UAS logbook needs to hold
One log book, every term
Drone, UAV or UAS — the record set is the same. Hours, flights, battery cycles, airspace and compliance all live in one entry.
Per-airframe accuracy
Every UAV in your Equipment Vault carries its own model and serial number, so hours and battery cycles stay attached to the right aircraft.
Weather filled in for you
AeroNote adds the conditions for where and when you flew, so your UAS log book has the detail that matters if an incident is ever reviewed.
Private by design
Your log book, serials and client details are locked to your account at the database level and never sold or used to train AI models.
Paper log book vs. digital drone logbook
| Paper log book | AeroNote | |
|---|---|---|
| Time per entry | 5–10 minutes of writing | One sentence, spoken or typed |
| Serial numbers | Copied by hand, often skipped | Pulled from your Equipment Vault |
| Weather | Remembered later, if at all | Added automatically for time and place |
| Finding a flight | Flip through the notebook | Search and filter the logbook |
| Client invoice | Rewritten separately | Generated from the same entry |
| If it's lost | The records are gone | Backed up and exportable any time |
How logging a UAV flight actually works
- 1. Set up once. Add your name, Part 107 certificate number, your aircraft with their serial numbers, and the clients you fly for regularly.
- 2. Describe the flight. "Roof inspection for Skyline this morning, Mavic, 2 to 4, three flights on two batteries, billing $450." Type it or speak it.
- 3. Answer anything missing. AeroNote asks short questions only for the fields it cannot infer — never repeating back what you already said.
- 4. Export. The finished entry becomes a PDF or CSV log book record, or a client invoice that omits your airframe serials and compliance detail.
