Identify The Right Aircraft

Keep model, FAA registration, Remote ID serial, and internal asset details together. Select the aircraft when documenting a mission so the flight belongs to the right record.

Automatic Flight-time Totals For Each Aircraft

The latest UAScribe keeps a running flight-time total for each aircraft from the flights you document. Review the accumulated time in the aircraft’s maintenance section alongside its service history.

The built-in flight timer records individual flight duration and carries that time into the mission report. You can also start and stop the timer from a compatible paired Apple Watch.

Keep Service History Within Reach

Add maintenance entries for the aircraft and review previous work when preparing for the next mission. Your aircraft and maintenance records remain locally stored on your device.

01

Aircraft Identification

Distinguish similar drones with registration, Remote ID, and internal asset details.

02

Aircraft Flight Time

Keep a running total from documented flights without adding each flight’s duration by hand.

03

Maintenance History

Keep service entries with the aircraft they belong to, ready to review before the next flight.

UAS MAINTENANCE RECORDS

What Should A Drone Maintenance Log Include?

A useful aircraft maintenance record connects the aircraft, the work performed, and the context needed to understand it later. Use the maintenance entry and notes to capture the details relevant to your operation.

Practical details to include in a UAV maintenance record
RecordWhy it helps
Aircraft identityModel, registration, or asset name identifies which drone received the work.
Date and aircraft timeThe service date and accumulated flight time give the entry useful context.
Findings and work performedDescribe what you observed, inspected, repaired, replaced, or updated.
Parts and reference informationInclude relevant component identifiers and manufacturer references in your notes.
Person and follow-upNote who completed the work and any remaining action.

For example, “Replaced damaged front-left propeller; inspected remaining propellers and mounts; recorded part reference” is more useful later than “Checked drone.” Use the maintenance log guide and printable worksheet for a fuller example of record structure.

Choose inspection tasks and service intervals from your aircraft manufacturer’s instructions. For FAA guidance, see AC 107-2A, Chapter 7: sUAS Maintenance and Inspection. Aircraft hours provide context; they do not by themselves establish that an aircraft is ready to fly.

Before the next mission, review your UAV preflight checklist and any unresolved maintenance observations.

Drone Maintenance Log Questions

Does UAScribe automatically total flight time for each aircraft?

Yes. In the latest App Store version, UAScribe keeps a running flight-time total for each aircraft from your documented flights. Review it in the aircraft’s maintenance section.

Does the flight timer put time into the mission report?

Yes. The built-in timer records the flight duration and carries it into the report. A compatible paired Apple Watch can send start and stop commands to the iPhone timer.

Does this automatically import DJI or Autel telemetry?

No. The aircraft total uses the flights you document in UAScribe. It does not require or provide automatic DJI or Autel flight-log synchronization.

Is this for drone aircraft maintenance records?

Yes. UAScribe is designed for UAV and UAS operations. It organizes drone identification, recorded flight time, and maintenance entries; it is not a maintenance sign-off system for crewed aircraft.

Where are my aircraft and maintenance records stored?

Records are stored locally on the device where you create them. No UAScribe account or developer-operated cloud database is required. See the privacy policy for information about requested online lookups and device backups.
