About PilotLedger
Drone business management built by pilots, for pilots.
Our Platform
PilotLedger is a comprehensive drone business management platform designed by commercial drone operators, for commercial drone operators. From quoting and invoicing to flight logging, aircraft maintenance tracking, and client management — PilotLedger gives Part 107 pilots the tools they need to run a professional operation.
Every feature in PilotLedger was built to solve real problems that commercial pilots face daily. No bloated enterprise software, no unnecessary complexity — just the tools you need to quote jobs, manage clients, track your fleet, and get paid.
Built in America. Hosted in America.
PilotLedger is designed, developed, and maintained entirely within the United States by American citizens. Our servers are located exclusively in Arkansas and St. Louis, Missouri. No data leaves U.S. soil. No foreign entities have access to our codebase, infrastructure, or your operational data.
We built PilotLedger this way on purpose. Commercial drone operators working government contracts, critical infrastructure inspections, and NDAA-compliant projects need absolute confidence that their operational data — flight logs, client information, project locations, and financial records — is handled by a domestic platform with no foreign dependencies.
Data Sovereignty & Compliance
PilotLedger is purpose-built for operators who require domestic data handling and regulatory compliance.
About the Founder
PilotLedger was created by Thomas Dowell, an FAA-licensed commercial pilot and Part 107 remote pilot with an engineering background, who has spent years operating in the commercial drone services industry. Thomas is the author of "Fundamentals of Drone Photogrammetry, Mapping, and Survey" and the owner of Drones Inbound LLC, a commercial drone services company providing LiDAR mapping, photogrammetry surveys, thermal inspections, and solar panel inspections across multiple states.
PilotLedger was born out of real operational need — the frustration of managing a growing drone business with tools that weren't built for how commercial pilots actually work.
