Drone Log is the web app built for drone pilots in Romania who want to operate legally, in an organized way, and efficiently. The platform combines pre-flight map checks, MoD clearance request generation, and a flight log in one place — without replacing official sources (AACR, ROMATSA, MoD).

Who Drone Log is for

  • Recreational pilots with DJI Mini, Mavic, or other Open category UAS
  • Commercial operators (photo, video, inspections) who need traceability
  • Organizations with multiple pilots and multiple drones

The basic account is free — you can check zones and explore features at no upfront cost.

Feature 1: Pre-flight verification map

What you see on the map

  • UAS zones from the ROMATSA catalog
  • Active NOTAMs relevant to UAV operations
  • Verification result for the chosen point (permitted / restricted)

How to use it

  1. Sign in or create an account
  2. Open the Airspace map
  3. Enter an address, coordinates, or click on the map
  4. Review layers and restriction messages
  5. If the check is OK — you can create a flight log entry directly

Feature 2: HG859 requests (MoD clearance)

When the zone requires military clearance:

  • you complete operation details in a guided form
  • you generate the request PDF structured per HG 859/2011
  • you track request status in the app
  • you attach the MoD response to the flight

Feature 3: Flight log

EU regulations require keeping records of operations. The Drone Log flight log records:

  • flight date, time, and duration
  • location and zone summary
  • link to the pre-flight check performed
  • clearances and associated documents

You can export data for audit or archiving.

Feature 4: Resources and guides

On the site you will find:

  • UAS guides at /ghid-drone — NOTAM, A1/A3, MoD, flight log
  • Blog at /blog — up-to-date SEO articles
  • City pages — flight guides for Bucharest, Cluj, Brașov, and more

Typical workflow

1. Plan the mission (location, date, purpose)
2. Check the Drone Log map (UAS + NOTAM)
3. If needed → HG859 request → wait for MoD clearance
4. Fly while respecting the conditions
5. Log the flight in the journal
6. Export / archive when needed

What Drone Log does NOT do

  • It does not issue clearances — MoD and AACR remain the competent authorities
  • It does not guarantee that a flight is legal unless you follow the rules yourself
  • It does not replace A1/A3 competency or operator registration
  • It does not remove the obligation to re-check NOTAM on the day of flight

The platform helps you stay organized; responsibility for the operation remains with the pilot.

Security and data

  • Secure authentication (including Google OAuth)
  • Your data stays associated with your account
  • Export for GDPR compliance

Conclusion

Drone Log is your digital partner for responsible flying in Romania: one platform for the map, clearances, and flight log. Use it together with official AACR and ROMATSA sources, and focus on flying — not scattered paperwork.
