Thanks! -- You are right, it was easy. What confused me most is that I never heard of it before, even though it's apparently been around for quite a while. Besides carrying it, is there anything I need to do with the number, as there was for the original registration number? -- jclarkw

I've already flown my Mavic Air 2 (registered recreational with the FAA and updated to report its location via RID) a few times this summer here in Santa Fe County, NM. I just went out my garage to fly again and was confronted with a message apparently saying that I must take some kind of...

I'm sure that's true, but I've been too lazy to attempt a derivation of the relevant equations. (In particular, the conversions between the A/C coordinate system and true [north, east, up] coordinates make my head spin, and the effect of acceleration/deceleration on the pitch/roll/tilt angles...

Thanks! -- With the "original" version I can process into Flight Reader and proceed from there. -- jclarkw

Interesting, if tedious, idea that sounds as though it would work. Thanks -- jclarkw

True, and they even appear there for the old Mavic Air 2, therefore not courtesy of DJI as with the newer models. However, for the Air 2 they appear only sporadically and don't appear to make much sense. I quizzed Airdata about them but didn't get any of my questions answered. What is your...

I've been told that newer DJI drones, including the Mavic Air 3, report ambient wind speed, direction, and more in their log files! (For example, the latest versions of Mike Singer's "Flight Reader" software list the following 7 new columns of flight data in their log-file reports...

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...
