What should you document about a UAS flight?

• A. Destination city only.
• B. Pilot's license number, aircraft color, battery level.
• C. Date, time, location, weather, flight conditions, and any anomalies or incidents.
• D. Flight duration in hours only.

Answer: (C)

Documenting a UAS flight should capture the factors that affect safety and accountability, not just a single detail. Recording the date and time creates a clear timeline of when the flight occurred. The location shows where you operated, which matters for airspace considerations and local rules. Weather and flight conditions explain the environmental and operational factors that could influence risk during the flight. Noting any anomalies or incidents records anything unusual or problematic that happened, which is essential for safety learning and possible investigations.

Other options fall short because they miss important pieces of the full picture. Stating only the destination city leaves out when, where, and under what conditions the flight happened. Including just the pilot’s license number, aircraft color, and battery level doesn’t provide a complete record of the flight’s safety context. And reporting only the flight duration omits environmental factors and any unusual events that could affect safety.
