About Drone Log

Last updated: (Romania time)

More clarity before every flight.

Drone Log is a platform for drone pilots, built to make it easier to check the conditions and requirements that apply before a flight.

Rules, restricted zones and approval procedures can be hard to follow, especially when the information is published in different places. Drone Log brings this information closer to the pilot and helps them understand what to check and which steps are needed before take-off.

What we set out to do

We believe responsible drone flying starts with accurate information.

That is why we build tools that help pilots:

  • Check the airspace zones and restrictions relevant to the planned flight.
  • Understand which rules and requirements apply, depending on the place and conditions of the flight.
  • Identify the relevant institutions and procedures when clearances or approvals are needed.
  • Organise information about their drones and the flights they have made.
  • Keep a useful record of the checks and documents linked to their activity.

Built for pilots, whatever their experience

Whether you fly for fun, travel and want to capture new places, or use a drone professionally, flight information should be as easy to understand as possible.

Drone Log is built for simplicity, accessibility and practical use, both on the web and on mobile devices.

Clear information. Responsible decisions.

Drone Log is an information and organisation tool. Its check results do not replace official aeronautical information, NOTAMs, restrictions published by the competent authorities, or the clearances and authorisations required.

Checking the applicable conditions and complying with the regulations is the remote pilot's responsibility.

Who builds Drone Log

Vlad — Software developer and drone pilot holding A1/A3 and A2 certificates, creator of Drone Log — a platform built to make it easier to check airspace restrictions and understand the requirements before a drone flight.

He also created SkyStamp, the editor that overlays drone telemetry on your footage. getskystamp.app

Where to find Drone Log

Drone Log works on the web, at drone-log.app, as an app for iPhone and iPad on the App Store, and as an Android app on Google Play.

Data sources

Permanent UAS zones come from data published by ROMATSA (flightplan.romatsa.ro). UAV NOTAMs are imported from ROMATSA WFS/GeoServer services. Editorial content (guides, blog) is written in-house with publication dates.

Import methodology

Imports run automatically (cron) and on demand via dedicated import commands. Each run is logged (status, record counts, errors). Geometries are normalised for map queries and programmatic SEO pages (/uas-zone/, /notam/).

Update frequency

NOTAMs are re-imported daily or on each scheduled import job. UAS zones are updated when ROMATSA publishes changes. Data-driven pages show “Last updated” and expose dateModified in schema.org.

How NOTAMs are processed

NOTAMs are stored with original text, validity interval, vertical limits and geometry (when available). For pilots we automatically generate /notam/{id} pages with plain-language explanation and links to affected UAS zones.

How UAS zones are processed

Each active zone in Romania gets an indexable /uas-zone/{id} page with restriction type, altitude, approximate coordinates and pilot-friendly explanation. Zones removed from the official source are marked withdrawn and removed from the sitemap.

Drone Log — check before you fly.

We want preparing a flight to be simpler, the information easier to understand, and every pilot able to make informed decisions before take-off.

In short

Drone Log is a web and mobile (iPhone, iPad, Android) platform for drone pilots in Romania: it checks airspace zones, NOTAMs and approval requirements before a flight and keeps a record of drones, flights and documents. UAS zone and NOTAM data come from automated imports from official ROMATSA sources; the results do not replace official aeronautical information.

Frequently asked questions

No. Drone Log does not issue clearances and does not replace authorities — it helps you verify data and organise documents.

The last successful import date is shown on map and programmatic pages; always verify official sources before take-off.

Each NOTAM and UAS zone gets a dedicated page so search engines and AI assistants can cite them, with internal links to cities and guides.

Official sources to verify

Information on this site is for guidance. Before flying, always confirm from primary sources:

  • ROMATSA — airspace, NOTAM, UAS map for Romania
  • AACR — Romanian civil aviation authority, UAS operator registration
  • EASA — European UAS framework, A1/A3/A2 categories, geo-zones
  • MApN — aerial photo/filming clearance, military zones (HG 859/2021)
  • flightplan.romatsa.ro — flight planning, restricted UAV zones, dynamic NOTAM
