The Simplest Drone Flight Logbook for EU Pilots

Why Keep a Drone Flight Log?

A flight log is the record of your experience as a drone pilot. Whether you fly recreationally or commercially, tracking your flights gives you a clear picture of how much time you have spent in the air, which drones you have used, and where you have operated.

For professional pilots, a thorough flight log can be the difference between getting approved for a Specific category authorization and being asked for more documentation. For hobbyists, it is a simple way to track your progress and ensure you meet any national requirements that go beyond the EASA baseline.

What You Can Log

Each flight entry in PilotPocket captures the details that matter:

• Date and time — When the flight took place
• Location — Where you flew, with a descriptive name
• Duration — How long the flight lasted, contributing to your total hours
• Drone used — Which aircraft from your fleet, linked automatically
• Notes — Any additional details about conditions, purpose, or observations

Offline-First, Privacy-First

PilotPocket stores all flight data in a local SQLite database on your iPhone. There is no cloud sync, no account creation, and no data leaving your device. This means your flight history is available even when you have no internet connection — which is exactly when you are most likely to be flying.

This approach also means full GDPR compliance by design. Your personal flight data is not processed by any server. It lives on your device, under your control, full stop.

Total Flight Hours at a Glance

PilotPocket automatically calculates your total flight hours across all drones and per individual aircraft. This gives you an instant overview of your experience level — useful when applying for advanced certifications, Specific category authorizations, or simply tracking your personal progress as a pilot.

Export When You Need It

When authorities request your flight records, or when you need to attach flight experience documentation to a license application, PilotPocket lets you export your complete log. The export includes every field you have recorded, formatted and ready to share.
