Drone Flight Log Spreadsheet

What To Record

Use one row per flight. Enter the date, start time, mission reference, mission type, aircraft ID, RPIC, visual observer or crew, general location, authorization (LAANC or waiver number), battery ID, actual duration in minutes, light conditions, whether anti-collision lights were on, an incident flag, and notes. Use consistent aircraft identifiers so you can filter the records later.

What The Spreadsheet Calculates

The log counts entered durations, sums minutes, converts the total to decimal hours, and counts flights flagged as incidents. Select Day, Twilight, Night or Mixed yourself; the sheet does not determine sunrise, sunset, or regulatory operating conditions. A twilight or night flight that isn’t marked “Lights on” is highlighted for review.

Mark Incident “Yes” for any injury or damage and complete the free accident & incident worksheet.

Keep A History You Can Use

Save a copy in your chosen storage location and follow your organization’s backup procedures. The workbook starts blank. Expand the table and summary ranges when you need more than 200 rows.
