    Drone Flight Log in Excel

    Cool! I like the "hanger" tab idea.

    FlightRecord Folder Missing...With A Twist

    Yes it is annoying. Before, DJI Fly would auto sync with AirData and automatically upload the log file. That did not happen this time. Actually that was my first indication that something was not right.

    FlightRecord Folder Missing...With A Twist

    Sorry, the "XXX" was me being lazy and not typing out the date and time info in the file name and is not meant to imply that I am looking for exactly three additional characters. I am aware of the correct format. Thanks for all the suggestions. I did find the file! I had to do a search of...

    FlightRecord Folder Missing...With A Twist

    No, and that is the crux of the problem. It is simply not there whenever I hook the tablet up to the PC and check the folder structure. Again, note that up until now it has been there, but today it has disappeared.

    FlightRecord Folder Missing...With A Twist

    Been flying my Mini2 with a Galaxy S6 Tablet running DJI Fly for a few months now with no issues. Today however, after a routine flight, I cannot find the Flight Record folder to get at the flight log file. The folder and associated files are simply not there under dji.go.v5. Here is the...

    Help with part 107 study

    I know you said you don't want to mess with YouTube videos, but if you decide to go with a commercial drone school, it is worth it to check a few of them out. Many have them have discount codes you can use with the various schools. The discount can be significant (like 50 bucks or more). Just...

    Navigation question (loosely related to 107 test)

    As someone who passed the test just a few weeks ago, I can tell you there will not be any navigation questions of the "what is the travel time between two lat/long points" type. The only lat/long questions you will see will be similar to "what airport is located near lat X, long Y". The only...

    Part 107 Test - My Experience

    Thanks. I was lucky in that all the map questions I had on the test referred to locations that were easy to find or that I was familiar with through the study material and practice tests.

    Part 107 Test - My Experience

    First off and tl;dr, I passed the test with an 88% score. Below is my experience preparing for the test, what happened at the test center and the actual test. The whole process took me about 2 and a half months. Why so long? After about two weeks of studying, I felt I was ready to schedule the...

    Drone Flight Log in Excel

    Presenting the Drone Flight and Maintenance Log (DFML), Rev1.0. I searched the net quite a bit for a drone flight log, but never found one that covered everything I wanted in a log. So, taking inspiration from all that I found plus items I thought to be useful, I built one myself from scratch in...

    What Android Tablet are You Using With Your Mini?

    Thanks. Seems like a lot of folks like the Huawei's for drone flying.

    What Android Tablet are You Using With Your Mini?

    Thanks I'll check out your thread. My concern in buying an iPad is that I'll use it only to fly my mini. Except for the screen size, I am very happy with my Pixel and don't really look forward to trying to learn and live with yet another "ecosystem".

    What Android Tablet are You Using With Your Mini?

    My Google Pixel phone works fine with my Mini, but I'd like something with a larger screen. What Android tablet are you using and how do you like it? Please no iPad discussions. This is not meant to knock Apple, but me and Apple products do not get along very well.
