DJI TXT flight logs can be imported into Flight Reader using one of these options:
-
Automatically sync flight logs from the DJI Cloud (not available in the US)
DJI Fly, DJI GO, and other DJI apps used to fly DJI drones are able to automatically upload your flight logs (commonly referred to as “syncing them”) to the DJI Cloud after a flight has been completed. Flight Reader can then be configured to automatically check the DJI Cloud for new flight logs (see these instructions) and download and process them when found.
You can also manually initiate the syncing process at any time by choosing File → Sync Flight Logs from the menu at the top of the main Flight Reader window.
Note: DJI disabled flight log syncing in the US on June 12, 2024. See more details here.
-
Manually retrieve flight logs for import into Flight Reader
A TXT flight log is created on the device used to fly your DJI drone (phone/tablet/DJI RC) each time you fly. Those TXT files can be manually retrieved (like this) and then manually imported into Flight Reader.
For importing into Flight Reader, copy the files to your Windows desktop (or another local folder on your computer) and then drag and drop them onto the main Flight Reader window. You can also choose File → Import Flight Log… from the menu at the top of the main Flight Reader window to select a TXT flight log file to import via a file dialog window.
This manual import option will also work if importing other supported CSV log types – including DroneDeploy, Drone Harmony, Litchi, and Map Pilot.
-
Transfer DJI TXT flight logs directly from Android devices
Flight Reader 1.6.3 (or higher) is able to to transfer TXT flight logs directly from Android devices (phones/tablets/DJI RCs) that are connected to your computer with a USB cable. These transfers are quick and don’t require uploading your flight logs to the Internet.
Follow these instructions to connect an Android device to your computer with a USB cable that supports files transfer and then start Flight Reader (if not running) or choose File → Sync Flight Logs from the menu at the top of the main Flight Reader window (if Flight Reader is already running).
-
Transfer DJI TXT flight logs over your local network
Flight Reader 1.6.11 (or higher) includes the Flight Log Transfer Service to help quickly transfer flight logs from Apple or Android mobile devices connected to the same local network as Flight Reader (like your local network at home).
Just open a web browser on your Apple or Android mobile device, browse to the Service Location URL, and select one or more flight logs to transfer to Flight Reader. The selected flight logs will be instantly transferred over your local network and processed in Flight Reader.
