Such a book has traditionally been divided into parts, or sections, that are put to different uses. As such, it is a personal reflection of the experience of an individual, potentially encompassing all that he or she may have flown. In fact, a pilot’s logbook may reflect the use of several different aircraft over time, depending upon the opportunities of the aviator. In the case of modern aviation, therefore, the purpose of a pilot logbook is to record the history of an individual pilot’s flying activities, rather than to record in detail aircraft performance and technical data. Although the early logbooks tended to combine pilot and aircraft (technical) data, the practice of logging flying experience in particular soon became mandatory for professional pilots. These date back to the first days of flight as early as 1912, for example, the British Royal Flying Corps recorded military flight data in logbooks.
Drone pilot logbooks are, or should be, derived from standard (piloted)-aviation pilot logs.
