The UAV Pilot Logbook Pro is a comprehensive flight logbook for professional drone pilots.
The Pro version of the UAV Pilot Logbook series is our flagship edition. It is a complete and comprehensive log, especially designed for professional use. In this book you can record flight and pilot training information for all types of UAV operations, as well as considerable aircraft technical data. For a smaller, somewhat less comprehensive but still useful version, see our UAV Pilot Logbook 3rd Edition. For an in-depth look at what you need to know about drone pilot logbooks, read our Parhelion Guide article: Drone Pilot Logbooks. In case what you really need is a technical logbook for your aircraft, read our Parhelion Guide article: Drone Aircraft Logbooks. To compare the pros and cons of digital and paper logbooks, read our Parhelion Guide article: Digital or Traditional Logbook. For an overview of all of our drone logbooks, go here.

In the UAV Pilot Logbook Pro you can record flight time for rotary, fixed-wing and lighter-than-air (LTA) UAV operations, so that you will be able to log all of your aircraft in the same book. You can record data from 1000 flights in this book, and because the format is somewhat larger than that of our other UAV logbooks you can record a greater variety of data for each flight. These characteristics make the UAV Pilot Logbook Pro the most complete record of your flying experience that you can get, using a paper (hardcover or softcover) logbook.
The book measures 7 x 10 inches (17.78 x 25.4 cm) and is 286 pages long; far longer than our other logbooks. The hardcover provides valuable durability.
On the inside you will find:
The UV Pilot Logbook Pro begins with an extensive Aircraft and Equipment Data section, in which you can record identification information for up to 16 different aircraft, as well as data about batteries, other power sources (e.g. liquid fuel) and additional equipment (cameras, etc).
A main Pilot Flight Log section follows, in which you can record the registrations of the different aircraft in use for each of your flights and their types. You can also record flight locations and times, flight durations, flight functions (e.g. Instructor time, etc), numbers of landings, night flying time, maximum aircraft height and distances flown. Additionally, you can record batteries or fuel use, inspections and calibrations accomplished, technical problems found and corrective actions performed, remarks about the flight and endorsements (e.g. Instructor signature).
This section provides easy-to-use instructions about how to fill out the log, with example pages included. Flight data occupy the even-numbered pages. Notes about the flights (e.g. aircraft condition, sensors used and results gained) occupy the odd-numbered pages. Since these face each other when the book is open you see the entire record of a given set of flights at a glance, as in the example below:
The UAV Pilot Logbook Pro has a final, Record of Training section, in which you can log all of your training courses taken and exams passed, as well as places for instructors to sign these off, as required.
Although larger than our other logbooks, Pro remains convenient for carrying. You are therefore able to record your flight data on the spot. Even though it is our most expensive book we are nevertheless confident that you will agree, once you have seen it, that Pro is excellent value for your money. You will not find another like it anywhere.
