Using the UAV Aircraft Logbook Pro makes a complete record of your aircraft's use and maintenance history, and reveals its current technical condition - designed for professional UAV operators.
This Parhelion Aerospace UAV Aircraft Logbook Pro is the only dedicated (hardcopy) UAV aircraft technical logbook made for professional use available today.
A companion to our UAV Pilot Logbook Pro, the UAV Aircraft Logbook Pro records flight, equipment and maintenance data for a single aircraft in order to keep abreast of its use and technical status, no matter how many different pilots fly it. These factors could be of great importance in determining the safety of your flight operations, as well as your UAV’s insurance, depreciation and resale values.
You can record data for 600 flights in the UAV Aircraft Logbook Pro, which is organized as a daily log.

The UAV Aircraft Logbook Pro consists of several sections that, together, make a multifaceted and comprehensive record of your drone’s history and current condition. These parts are:
– Part 1: Aircraft, Power Source and Equipment Data; a section for aircraft and owner identification, power sources, imagery and other equipment data, as well as a master preflight inspection checklist (to be filled out in accordance with your owner’s manual directions).
– Part 2: Aircraft Daily Log; a section that includes instructions for filling out the log pages (with an example page), and the actual daily log pages that constitute the main portion of the book. Spaces for flight data (e.g. crew names, compass calibrations performed, battery voltages / cycles, locations, takeoff and landing times, flight durations, number of landings, distances and heights flown) as well as technical data (e.g. discrepancies, incidents and technical problems discovered before or during a flight and the results of any corrective actions taken) for five flights are presented on each day-page. If more than five flights are accomplished on a given day then the person filling out the book simply continues on the next daily log page, using the same flight date.
There is a space provided for the owner/mechanic/pilot to sign before flight, stating that the aircraft is mechanically sound.
Flight and tech data occupy the even-numbered pages. Notes about the flights, to include sensors used and results gained, occupy the odd-numbered pages. Since these face each other when the book is open, you see the entire record of a given day’s operations at a glance, as shown in the example below:
– Part 3: Additional Maintenance Actions Log; a section that permits you to make a thorough and robust record of the maintenance history of your drone. Planned maintenance, aircraft and equipment repairs and upgrades, firmware updates and calibrations (other than compass calibrations, which ought to be done as part of the daily preflight checks), as well as items of your particular choice can all be recorded in detail. This section reveals the degree of professionalism and care with which you operate your machine, demonstrating that you use only airworthy aircraft and that you consequently fly safely.
Although larger than our previously published UAV Aircraft Logbook, at 7 x 10 inches (254 x 178 mm) the Pro version remains convenient for carrying during flight operations. The hardcover provides valuable durability.
