  • The correct selection will depend on the configuration of your PC

  • If using a USB connection you may leave the baud rate (the 57600 number) menu on the current selection

• Click connect to begin connecting to the aircraft

• Selecting the “Data” icon at the top of the window to open the Mission Planner Flight Data screen

• Select the “DataFlash Logs” tab on the lower left pane of the window

• Click the “Download DataFlash Log Via Mavlink” button

Open

• Select the log(s) you want to download from the left pane of the popup window

  • Any logs with a date of 12/31/1979 were created when the aircraft did not have a GPS lock. As a result these logs usually indicate the times the copter was powered on while indoors.

  • Wait for the log files to download
