I should have explained my purpose here. DJI wants the logs from the drone to investigate the problem encountered in the referenced thread. I just don't want to give them wholesale access to all my flights for privacy reasons. I thought I could extract the logs relevant to this problem flight...

There must be flight logs (or other failure logs that document a communication-loss RTH) stored on the drone itself. (Obviously I could find no information on the mobile device after a permanent communication loss.) I searched the drone's memory, both internal and external, and could find...

Is there any useful information on the drone itself relative to this problem? I finally got the DJI advisors on their forum to understand what my problem was. (Too many words, I guess.) They've had me upload the flight records from my iPhone to Dropbox for review. Maybe I'll get something to...

dstuart -- May I ask if you are in the US and if you have the RID FW and DJI Fly version? -- jclarkw

Riteguy -- I must be missing something then. Their compatibility table indicates that all of the recent FW versions are only amenable to "Speed Boost" and not Downgradable. -- jclarkw

Agreed. -- jclarkw

Riteguy -- On what drone? If on Mavic Air 2, were you just lucky enough to have one of the old, downgradable FW versions? -- jclarkw

>>Was this in the same drone switch on?<< Yes. Connect and turn on RC > DJI Fly loads > "Turn On Bluetooth to allow 'DJI Fly' to Connect to Accessories" > Can't get further without hitting "Close." Sometimes complains about location services at this point, but this time it didn't. When drone...

Gerd@ -- Do you have the RID FW loaded? -- jclarkw

OK, I tried logging out of DJI Fly. As expected, I can still take off (with DJI Fly 1.12.0 and the GPS antenna screened on the drone). After landing, if I unplug the phone from the RC, the system no longer responds to CSC, as noted before. If I take off with the phone plugged in and then...

Thanks! I did read the recommended thread, but I'm not finding much useful there. The quote from the manual that you entered in your post on that thread also appears in my Air 2 manual, but I've never known what it means. "...flight is restricted when not connected or logged into the app...

Is it supposed to be possible to fly the Mavic Air 2, using the basic RC231, without attaching a mobile device? Or does it in effect require the DJI Fly app in some form in order even to start the motors? I have up-to-date FW on both the drone and the RC. The combination is apparently...

OK, BigBsquared, the only thing I don't understand in your last is the above quote. What GPS update? Wouldn't anything involving GPS be in either the drone FW or the mobile-device OS? -- jclarkw

OK -- Sorry if I'm being obtuse, but I am getting frustrated. If you expect me to understand, you will have to explain more clearly. For example, how can DJI Assistant 2 (which I use myself to update the FW in the RC and drone and you describe) update the DJI Fly app? It's never connected to...

Sorry -- I misunderstood your question. I was talking about the DJY Fly app, not the FW. -- jclarkw
