User manual
Fleet and equipment
Every asset has a history, deadlines and a person in charge. The fleet is the foundation missions and the logbook rest on.
Drones
For each drone you record model, registration/serial number, CE class (C0–C6 or legacy), MTOM, firmware and insurance with an expiry date. Flight hours grow by themselves from the logbook: you never update them by hand. A retired drone stays in the archive with its full history.
Batteries
Batteries have two independent counters, like in real life:
- cycles grow from the charge log: close a charge and the cycle is counted, with its duration recorded (the trend in charge duration is an indicator of degradation);
- hours grow from the flights the battery was mounted on (in the logbook you record which batteries each flight used).
Every battery has a short inventory code (BAT-01…), a status (charged / to charge / in storage / out of service) and an end-of-life threshold. A LiPo battery left charged and idle for too long raises a warning on the expiry board. At post-flight signature, the batteries used switch to "to charge" by themselves.
Payloads and calibrations
Thermal cameras, multispectral sensors and LiDAR are assets in their own right, with calibrations that expire and a service history. An expired calibration shows up on the expiry board and in the mission auto-checks.
Ground equipment and custody
Remote controllers, anemometers, radios, video links, ground stations and tablets are inventoried under Equipment, with an internal battery where present (which joins the charge log like any other). Custody always tells you who holds each piece and who used it last: taking custody and returning it is one tap, from the field app too. On a mission a remote controller pairs with one drone only, like in the field.
Maintenance
The maintenance log covers drones, batteries, payloads and equipment: scheduled work, repairs, part replacements, firmware updates and manufacturer repairs (RMA). Every intervention stays in the asset's history and feeds the aircraft technical logbook (QTB).
The expiry board
All expiries — insurance, certificates, calibrations, scheduled maintenance, batteries in storage — flow into a single page, sorted by urgency. Every morning at 7:00, Owners and Admins receive a digest of upcoming expiries (only when there is something to say).
