Flight Reader API 2026.6 released

Flight Reader API
1

A new version of Flight Reader API has been deployed. Release 2026.6 includes the following changes:

  • Added support for processing Avata 360 flight logs.

  • For timelapse photos, the CAMERA.photoSequence field now tracks the number of photos captured within each timelapse sequence.

  • The Flight Reader API now extracts ADS-B data from DJI TXT flight logs for drones equipped with DJI AirSense. That includes all DJI drones over 249g starting with the Air 2S.

  • The following new log fields have been added to show details for the manned aircraft currently closest to the drone and details for the manned aircraft that had the closest separation distance during the flight:

    • ADSB.currentAircraft The number of manned aircraft detected by ADS-B at this point in the flight.

    • ADSB.totalAircraft The total number of unique manned aircraft detected by ADS-B so far in the flight.

    • ADSB.currentAltitude [ft] The current altitude (in feet) above mean sea level of the manned aircraft currently closest to the drone.

    • ADSB.currentAltitude [m] The current altitude (in meters) above mean sea level of the manned aircraft currently closest to the drone.

    • ADSB.currentHeading The current direction of travel (between 0 to 360 degrees) of the manned aircraft closest to the drone.

    • ADSB.currentHorizontalDistance [ft] The current horizontal ground distance (in feet) between the drone and the manned aircraft closest to the drone.

    • ADSB.currentHorizontalDistance [m] The current horizontal ground distance (in meters) between the drone and the manned aircraft closest to the drone.

    • ADSB.currentHorizontalDistance [mi] The current horizontal ground distance (in miles) between the drone and the manned aircraft closest to the drone.

    • ADSB.currentIcao The ICAO 24-bit hexadecimal identifier of the manned aircraft currently closest to the drone.

    • ADSB.currentLatitude The current latitude of the manned aircraft closest to the drone.

    • ADSB.currentLongitude The current longitude of the manned aircraft closest to the drone.

    • ADSB.currentSlantDistance [ft] The current true three-dimensional distance (in feet) between the drone and the manned aircraft closest to the drone.

    • ADSB.currentSlantDistance [m] The current true three-dimensional distance (in meters) between the drone and the manned aircraft closest to the drone.

    • ADSB.currentSlantDistance [mi] The current true three-dimensional distance (in miles) between the drone and the manned aircraft closest to the drone./li>

    • ADSB.currentVerticalDistance [ft] The current vertical separation (in feet) between the drone and the manned aircraft closest to the drone.

    • ADSB.currentVerticalDistance [m] The current vertical separation (in meters) between the drone and the manned aircraft closest to the drone.

    • ADSB.closestIcao The ICAO 24-bit hexadecimal identifier of the manned aircraft with the smallest true three-dimensional separation distance from the drone so far in the flight.

    • ADSB.closestSlantDistance [ft] The smallest true three-dimensional distance (in feet) between the drone and a manned aircraft (CPA) so far in the flight.

    • ADSB.closestSlantDistance [m] The smallest true three-dimensional distance (in meters) between the drone and a manned aircraft (CPA) so far in the flight.

    • ADSB.closestSlantDistance [mi] The smallest true three-dimensional distance (in miles) between the drone and a manned aircraft (CPA) so far in the flight.

  • Renamed the “Time Lapse” flight mode to “Timelapse”.

  • Renamed the CAMERA.panoPhotoSequence field to CAMERA.photoSequence so it can be used to track photo sequences for other photo modes.

  • Improved mobile device location extraction to display the location of any DJI remote controller that contains a GPS receiver. This data is extracted into the APPGPS.latitude and APPGPS.longitude fields.

  • Improved extraction of dual battery data when a second battery is recorded in the flight log.

  • Improved the photo extraction logic to increase the accuracy of detected photo locations and the total number of photos taken in the flight log.
