# Russellville DroneSense Flight Log
The second item of RPD's rolling production: `DroneSense Flight Logs RPD.pdf`, a 22-page image-rendered table from [[DroneSense]], the department's drone-operations platform, transmitted by Asst. Chief [[Phillip Varnell]] on 2026-07-24 with the statement: "I've attached the drone flight log information. I will not be able to further work on this request until early to mid-next week."
## Structure and aggregates (computed from the 300-dpi OCR; column-major layout, so row-level joins are approximate)
- **Columns:** Name (five-character flight code), Created Date, Archived flag, Start Time, End Time, Flight Hours, Flight Duration, Pilot Last Name, Drone Name, Training flag, Mission Names.
- **Volume and span:** roughly 700 flight rows (678 cleanly OCR'd date cells), December 11, 2023 through July 20, 2026 — a program predating the department's Flock network by over a year and running at about 4.5× the flight volume of Faulkner County SO's Skydio program.
- **Aircraft:** "Drone 1" (~380 rows), "Drone 2" (~189), "Drone 3" (~38), plus a single `1206EOS` designator — three generically named airframes, consistent with the City-records picture of a three-drone fleet slated for replacement/update; no manufacturer or model column appears.
- **Pilots:** eight-plus last names, led by Spradlin (~168) and Murphy (~157), then Baccam, Tolich, Richard, Cromer, Gresham, with a few single-flight names (OCR variants collapsed).
- **Missions:** the only values are **"RPD Call for service" (~313)** and **"Training Flights" (~267)**; no case numbers, incident types, or free-text descriptions.
## Key takeaways
- **No location fields exist in this export** — no coordinates, no addresses, no incident locations. Under the 2026-07-24 mapping policy, produced drone takeoff coordinates are intentional map content; this export supplies none, so [[Arkansas Camera Map Data]] is unchanged. DroneSense retains per-flight GPS tracks as a platform capability; that location-bearing export is an unproduced records category.
- The two-category mission field documents an operational-use split (55/45 operations-to-training) without revealing any deployment target — the least location-revealing flight log in the corpus, in contrast to FCSO's address-bearing Skydio log.
- The transmittal's scheduling statement pauses the rolling production to early-to-mid the week of July 27.

## Cross-references
- [[FCSO Skydio X10 Flight Log]] — the corpus's other produced flight log, opposite in location posture.
- [[Law-Enforcement Drone and UAS Programs]] — the five-agency comparison placing that contrast in context.

## Open questions / follow-ups
- The GPS flight-track export; drone make/model/procurement records; any UAS policy and deployment-authorization records; whether "Drone 1/2/3" map to the three drones City records slate for replacement.
