Their initial response was BS. They indicated that I might NOT have sync'd the original Log; which I must have done to enable their analyst to review the Log and Record. Then they said that I could retrieve the Log; though they didn't say how to do that to get it on my computer. I wrote back...

I just sent DJI support an email requesting the Flight Log “2018-09-02 15_43_18- 163DF84001L6UH.DAT”. We'll see how they respond. BT

Interesting that you bring up that possibility, @RayOZ. I'm not a conspiracy type, BUT on that day I did experience some indications of interference with the telemetry and video signals with the aircraft. I had, and have since, flown numerous times from that same vicinity with no problems, but...

Thanks for your thoughts, @Meta4. That's the operative question: "Whatever happened to the drone?" I still go back periodically to look around, but no success to date. BT

Thanks, @sar104. I'll start working on DJI tomorrow to release the .DAT file. BT

Friends, First off, thanks to everyone who contributed to my recent thread "Mavic 2 Pro Crash Dive." It should be repaired by next week; meanwhile I'm waiting for word from the insurance company regarding coverage for the loss. My positive experience (valuable responses) with the above post...

Thanks, @sar104, that's what I needed to know. So, next time there is an "incident" I can make a conscious decision to save the .DAT file for the flight before syncing. BT

My apologies if my last comment was obtuse. My question relates to the "associated .DAT files." Is the name ALWAYS FLY012.DAT, which is overwritten on the next flight, or does the numbering increment with each subsequent flight? Such as, FLY013.DAT, FLY014.DAT and on in sequence. I am...

Thanks @Slade. I have on demand insurance from droneinsurance.com. I filed the claim this morning; we'll see how they respond. Stay tuned. BT

Thanks, @slup. I suspected that wasn't the right file, but found it and wanted to throw it in here for comment. For the FLY012.DAT file, must that be copied after each flight AND before syncing, or if there are multiple flights between syncs, will each of the flight files be preserved? BT

I have reviewed the flight documentation second by second from 231 seconds flight time to the end at 265 seconds. FWIW, here is my pilot's interpretation of events documented in the flight logs and records. "I was flying a photo mission for a real estate agent client. The flight was normal...

Good Morning, Friends. I think I MAY have found the additional flight information suggested by @sar104 and @slup, FLY013.DAT. Please let me know if this helps in the analysis. Best Regards, BT

Thanks, @RayOZ. Yes I took it to a local authorized repair center that I could drive to. My first repair at DJI two years ago took 6 weeks; my second repair at an authorized center in NJ was better, but still took 3 weeks. Baltimore Drone Service will have it back to me within 10 days. The...

Thanks for your input, @slup. Since I sync'd before copying the FLY012.DAT info, does that mean that further analysis is not possible? I appreciate everyone's interest and responses so far. Best Regards, BT

Thanks for the quick response and analysis, @sar104 ! Unfortunately I did sync the flight records, and so the FLY012.DAT information is lost. I won't sync in the future until I have retrieved that information. The only recent unusual activity was last Monday, 5/4/20, when I flew in extremely...
