Equipment Manager: An Easier Way to Track Drones!
Introducing Equipment Management in AutoPylot: Take Control of Your Drone Fleet
At AutoPylot, we’re always looking for ways to simplify and streamline drone operations—from flight planning to airspace access, to now, fleet and equipment management. Today, we’re excited to announce our newest feature: Equipment Management, built to give drone pilots and teams complete control over their hardware and operational history.
Why Equipment Management Matters
Whether you’re a solo operator flying a single drone or a commercial team managing a growing fleet, staying organized is critical. Until now, keeping track of drone details, flight history, and maintenance records often meant using spreadsheets, paper logs, or disconnected tools. With Equipment Management, all of that is now built directly into AutoPylot—no extra apps or messy workarounds.
What You Can Do with Equipment Management
1. Easily Add and Organize Your Drones
Easily add drones to your account and manage key details like serial number, make, model, weight, type, and estimated value. You can also upload supporting documents, such as registration forms, insurance certificates, or user manuals in PDF format, to keep everything organized in one place.
2. Track Drone Activity Automatically
Each time you fly with AutoPylot, your drone’s flight length is automatically tracked and linked to the right piece of equipment. This creates a clean, accurate logbook of your drone’s usage history—no manual data entry needed.
3. Auto-Assign Drones to Missions
AutoPylot automatically adds your default and backup drones to the flight plan when creating a new mission, helping you log flight activity directly to each drone’s history. This makes maintaining a complete and accurate equipment log easy, without any extra steps.
4. Log Incidents, Maintenance, and Repairs
Stay compliant and proactive by logging any incidents, crashes, repairs, or routine maintenance. You can add notes, set reminders, and upload supporting documents (like inspection reports or receipts). It’s your one-stop shop for compliance and operational safety.
Why It’s a Game-Changer
Managing your drone equipment shouldn’t be a headache. With AutoPylot’s Equipment Management, everything is synced, searchable, and integrated into your existing flight workflow. This new feature is especially powerful for:
- Commercial pilots who need clean records for FAA compliance or insurance.
- Enterprise teams juggling multiple drones and workflows
- Recreational users who just want an easier way to track and manage their gear.
Available Now in AutoPylot+
Equipment Management is free to all AutoPylot users, giving you an easy way to track and organize your drones. However, an AutoPylot+ subscription is required for advanced features like flight logging and automatic drone assignment to missions.
