Hi all,
I read a post on the forum (or maybe a different one) that was posted a year or so ago asking about an offline logbook application. People suggested a few cloud-based logbooks and even a few Excel templates. But, the guy ultimately gave up on finding an application and signed up for AirData.

I've had a few days downtime at work and decided to start making one. So far, it's just a manual process of adding drones, batteries, places, and flights but I hope to figure out the importing of flight record files from the DJI apps soon.

Anyway, here ya go. Let me know your thoughts.

Drone Logbook


Download
Google Drive


Requirements

• Windows PC
• .NET Framework 4.8
• SQL LocalDB - Included in the .zip file
  

Notes

• To change the measurment units between metric and imperial, edit line 14 in the DroneLogbook.exe.config file. 'i' for imperial and 'm' for metric.
  

Main Window - See your flight data and overall statistics.


Flights List - Click here to see the info for each of your flights.


Drones, Batteries, and Places Lists - Clicking each of the rows in these lists will filter the Flights List accordingly. It will also calculate the Statistics section at the bottom for your selection. Clicking the 'Add' button at the bottom of each list will open a separate window where you can enter the required info for each item.

NOTE: There must be at least one item in all 3 of these lists in order to add a flight to the log.


Bugs

• If the files in the Database folder are not found, the application will give up on you.
• While entering data for a flight, if you don't enter a time, the application will give up on you.
• If you delete a drone, battery, or place, existing flights using those items will show skewed info.
• Probably more. If you find them, please let me know.
  

Roadmap

• FlightRecord TXT Importing
• A Google Map for each flight
• Editing flights, drones, batteries, and places. Currently, you have to delete it and re-enter it to correct anything.
• Flight Notes
• Reports
  

Nice start.    It would be cool if it could auto download from the DJI cloud like Airdata does.

What an amazing project to undertake.  

It is an amazing task to undertake, but why try to reinvent the wheel? Airdata does and amazing job.

Because i have about 6 hours a day to kill at work.

I do use Airdata as well as this now.

Yeah, i agree. That's the wall I'm currently trying to scale.

Pilot flight books are traditionally and still a requirement today to be physically filled out by pilots IE pen and paper and hard copies saved and maintained. It should be pretty easy to include in something like a spread sheet with headings to cover all necessary actions and notes to be filled in manually.

There are also plenty of flight records and information saved to your app and also the DJI cloud.
Keep up the good work. Good job.

Kudos for your efforts

Hope this gets but looking to download the software but the link doesn't work
