Drone Flight Logs

Welcome to the world of automated flight logs.

When I started flying drones back in 2016, manual flight logs was the way I kept track of my flights and drone maintenance.

Over the past several years many tools have been developed to automate the process.

I recently ventured into the use of automated flight logs.

I started researching the many options that are available online and zeroed in on one that does what I need it to do.

App.airdata.com is the one that I really like.

Since I use Litchi exclusively, I needed a solution that would read the log files from Litchi stored on my mini iPad. App.airdata.com reads Litchi csv files.

Litchi records every flight when I use my iPhone or mini iPad. It is really easy to download the flightlog files. Just connect your iPhone or mini iPad to your computer then drag and drop the flightlog folder to your desktop or computer folder to store them in.

Create a free account in app.airdata.com, open the upload feature then drag and drop a Litchi csv flightlog file. It is that simple.

There are so many reports available. I didn't realize just how much data is stored by Litchi during a flight. You can even run a simulation of the flight.

Conclusion

The free version does everything I need. There is a paid version if you have a large fleet to keep track of. There is even an app that you can install and have the flightlog upload automatically to Airdata.

I am still exploring all of the options available.

If you like the information provided above and would like to see more in future email posts, then consider purchasing some of my books and videos to help support the effort. As all of you know, computer hardware, software and drones costs money. I put 100% of my book/video sales back into the business to write more books, produce videos, buy drones to test and so forth.

Thank you all that have supported this effort. It is greatly appreciated.
