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: WEATHER.windDirection, WEATHER.windRelativeDirection, WEATHER.windSpeed [MPH], WEATHER.maxWindSpeed [MPH], WEATHER.windStrength, WEATHER.isFacingWind, and WEATHER.isFlyingIntoWind.) So far there seems to be nothing about this new feature on the DJI Web site. Questions: 1) Has anyone already used these data? (I can imagine many applications including the field of boundary-layer meteorology.) 2) Is this information unique at every data sample (every 1/10 s for my old Mavic Air 2, which does not report these data), or (more likely) what is the averaging period for these readings? 3) What kind of accuracy is achieved in these data? Any information on this greatly appreciated! -- jclarkw |
