Drone Checklist

Drone Checklist is a complete operational tool for commercial and recreational drone pilots, built from the ground up around FAA regulations. Pre-flight checklists, a personal logbook, real-time weather, an interactive airspace map, and NOTAMs — all in one place, on your phone or in your browser.

PRE-FLIGHT CHECKLISTS
Aircraft-type-specific checklists walk you through every step before launch: visual inspection, controls, battery, environment, crew briefing, risk assessment, and IMSAFE. Designed so Part 107 commercial pilots can demonstrate the operational checks the regulations expect.

PERSONAL LOGBOOK (FREE)
Log every flight with FAA-aligned fields: date, location, drone model, drone type, total flight duration, time as pilot in command, time as remote PIC, number of flights, operation type, drone registration, certificate number, crew size, and notes. Filter by flight type, drone type, or specific model. Edit any entry. Real flights and simulator flights tracked separately.

YOUR LOGS BELONG TO YOU — FOREVER
This is the most important promise we make. The flights you log under your account are yours, regardless of where your career takes you. Join a company, leave a company, switch employers, change companies again — your personal logbook follows you. Hours flown under one operation never disappear when you move on. You always have a complete, portable record of your flying career.

DRONE FLEET
Track the drones you own or operate, with metadata that auto-fills your flight logs.

LIVE WEATHER, AIRSPACE, AND NOTAMS
• METAR weather from the Aviation Weather Center, with computed flight category (VFR / MVFR / IFR / LIFR) right on the home screen
• Interactive airspace map: LAANC grids color-coded by ceiling, altitudes shown inside each cell at high zoom
• Active TFRs (Temporary Flight Restrictions) overlaid in red — see them before you fly
• FRIAs (FAA Recognized Identification Areas) overlaid in green
• NOTAM lookups powered by the official FAA NOTAM API
• Search any location by name to inspect its airspace before you drive out

BUSINESS PLAN — FOR COMPANIES
If you run a commercial drone operation, the optional Business Plan lets you create a company, invite pilots, approve members, and access company-wide flight logs. Subscriptions are managed on our website at dronechecklists.com. Personal features always remain free — the Business Plan only adds team management. When pilots leave or change companies, their personal logbook stays with them.

BUILT FOR FAA COMPLIANCE
Every operational data point in this app maps to an FAA-recognized field. The checklists cover Part 107 pre-flight responsibilities. The logbook fields support the records your operation needs to keep. The airspace map shows the LAANC grids and TFRs that govern where you can legally fly. The whole app was built the way the regulations were written — to be genuinely useful to a working drone pilot, not just a notebook substitute.
