What is a "UAS Remote Pilot Log"?

A "UAS Remote Pilot Log" is specifically a record of all UAS flights conducted by the remote pilot. This log serves several important functions in aviation practice. It allows pilots to keep track of their flying experience, including flight hours, types of operations, and specific conditions under which flights were conducted. Maintaining an accurate log is crucial for pilots to demonstrate their flight proficiency and experience, especially when seeking new certifications, renewals, or job opportunities.

Having this record is essential for safety and compliance as it provides evidence that a remote pilot has adhered to training requirements and regulations. Additionally, tracking flight data can help pilots identify patterns and improve their flying skills over time. This is particularly critical in the context of the FAA regulations that stipulate pilots must maintain documentation related to their operational history.
