Hello, one of my viewers passed on to me a recovered Mavic Air.
I was able to power it on and fly without issue, although the gimbal won't tilt and it displays "Gimbal motor overload".
Not bad considering the last footage on it was from May 2018 and it was found on the roof of the Brisbane Law Courts in February 2019.
9 months before being discovered.

I've reviewed the footage and the flights were definitely against the Australian rules and Regulations. I'm not here to discuss that.

I'm trying to view the flight logs and am not having any luck with the usual viewers/converters.
I only have access to the bird and not the controller or phone obviously.
DatCon & CsvView just throw up empty data for me.
It looks like the Mavic Air (and Mavic 2 series) use encrypted DAT files, is this correct?

Has anyone found a reliable way to view the data from the logs off the Mavic Air?

Its final moments (then) were not recorded and while I have a theory as to what transpired, it would be nice to have a visualisation of the last flight.
