Introduction to flight logs and their applications

Drone flight logs are digital records that capture maximum information about a drone’s flights. They contain every detail, such as flight duration, GPS coordinates, altitude, battery status, and sensor readings. These logs are important as they provide a detailed history of a drone’s activities and help engineers diagnose issues, optimize flight parameters, and ensure safe operations. Being drone engineers, we can use these logs for data analysis, performance assessment, and predictive maintenance, which all contribute to enhanced drone reliability and efficiency. In essence, drone flight logs are indispensable tools for understanding, improving, and maintaining drone systems.

Drone logs are essential in solving and analyzing multiple factors that impact the performance of the drone and the performance of the system avionics assisting the drone to fly. Some common issues that can be identified through the analysis...
