Insurance & Record Keeping

Flight logs that hold up in court

Works with DJI, Autel, Skydio — any drone. No wiring required. Independent GPS evidence uploaded in real time.

Why your drone's logs aren't enough

Your drone locks you out of your own data

DJI encrypts detailed flight data (DAT files) — motor diagnostics, raw IMU, ESC logs — all inaccessible. Since June 2024, US accounts no longer auto-upload even basic logs. If you forget to sync, the data stays on the drone or is lost entirely.

Software tools can't save what doesn't exist

AirData and DroneLogbook only process what DJI exports — limited TXT logs with basic GPS and battery data. If the drone crashes and is destroyed, the phone logs may be gone too. No hardware backup means no evidence.

No independent evidence, no claim

Insurance companies need independent, timestamped GPS evidence from a third party. Without it, claims get delayed, reduced, or denied. Your word and a manufacturer's encrypted logs aren't enough.

An independent witness for every flight

Real-time cellular upload

GPS position logged at 1Hz and uploaded over LTE in real time. Data reaches the server before the drone even lands. Can't be lost, can't be deleted.

Server-side tamper protection

Logs are stored server-side with timestamps. The operator can't modify or delete them after the fact — exactly what insurers require.

Remote ID scan + broadcast

Detects and logs all nearby FAA Remote ID broadcasts. Records proof of other aircraft in the area — critical for mid-air incident claims.

GPX/KML export

Download flight logs as industry-standard GPX or KML files. Attach directly to insurance claims, compliance reports, or incident documentation.

Works with any drone

Mount the SkyRelay on any airframe — DJI, Autel, Skydio, custom builds. No wiring, no firmware changes, no companion app required.

Survives the crash

SkyRelay runs on its own 18650 battery. Even if the drone battery is destroyed, SkyRelay keeps transmitting its GPS position for 8-12 hours.

Frequently asked questions

Do insurance companies accept SkyRelay flight logs?

Yes. Independent third-party GPS logs with server-side timestamps are accepted by SkyWatch, Coverdrone, BWI, and other drone insurers. The GPX/KML exports provide standardized, verifiable evidence that is far more credible than operator-generated logs.

Does it work with DJI drones?

Yes. SkyRelay is an independent device that mounts on any drone frame — DJI Mavic, Air, Mini series, Autel EVO, Skydio, and custom builds. No wiring, no companion app, no permissions needed. Just mount and fly.

What data does it record?

GPS position (latitude, longitude, altitude) at 1Hz, UTC timestamps, nearby aircraft Remote ID broadcasts (UAS ID, position, speed), and companion battery state. All data is uploaded to your dashboard in real time over LTE.

Can I export logs for my insurer?

Yes. Download flight logs as GPX or KML from your dashboard at any time. Each log includes a full timestamped GPS track and nearby aircraft data. Attach the files directly to your insurance claim.
