I just looked through the folders, but I think there is a .dat file because this flight was done with Pix4d Capture.

Thanks for the help everybody! The pilot says he only took off one time that day, so I'm not sure why there are two flights showing up. The drone is over 1 year old, but I will contact DJI and see what they say. This happened about 100 miles away from me, but I will see if I can make it up there...

Last night, one of our pilots was flying a mission using his Phantom 4 Pro V2, using Pix4dCapture when he lost his drone. He only launched the drone one time, but there are two flight logs for the day. I have looked at the flight data trying to find where it went, and I see that it was still...

I have tried using DJI Assistant to get the flight logs off the drone, but our antivirus goes crazy when I open it, so that isn’t going to be an option.

I can’t say that it didn’t, but with no data recorded I would say that it is far more likely it just dropped from the sky when the RC stopped getting any information from it. Like I said, the battery was still fully inserted, and there is no damage to the propellers, so I think that rules out a...

I agree, but the only information I have to work on is what the pilot told me on the day of the incident. He reported to me that he could see the drone going straight South of his screen using MapPilot. Obviously the drone never actually did that. But he did hike over 5 miles looking for it on a...

I found the drone today! it was within 50' of the last coordinates given by MapPilot. It landed feet first, bending the legs and smashing the camera off, then came to rest upside down, there is no apparent damage to it other than that. It will still power on, but there are obviously multiple...

No-one can see a Phantom at 1.5 miles well enough to tell that it's stopped and hovering. The recorded flight data should not stop when RTH is initiated. Any RTH activity should be part of the recorded flight data. If his comment about flying to the south was correct, that eliminates drifting...

According to MapPilot the correct procedure is to open up DJI Go4 and set the home point/make sure the drone is prepared to fly/set your camera setting, then force close DJI Go 4 and open up Map Pilot to fly your mission. They told me that having Go 4 running in the background can cause issues...

Yes he said he could still see it on the screen in the MapPilot App, he thought it flew about 1.5 miles straight South and hovered there until it lost connection. I have searched that area extensively and can not find it.

We did try using the find my drone function, and if I remember correctly it either showed the last location recorded in the flight log, or the home point in the gravel pit. I’m starting to wonder if maybe it landed at those last known coordinates, but we were focused on looking for it to the...

Unfortunately that is all the information I have, it appears it just vanished!

I also just compared the AirData .kml flight lines (yellow) to those provided by Map Pilot (orange). And it looks like it was having a hard time holding its elevation, but I don't see that shown on the CSV.

I cannot find a file from 11-21-18 from the device, so it must not have recorded anything from this flight, but here is the .dat file from the previous day and from a few days later with another drone.

Thank you for the reply, I believe the RTH functionality and low battery warnings are handled by the Go4 app, even though it is closed. The last flight for this drone was about 30 miles to the North of this one, and the pilot states he could see the drone taking off to the South on the MapPilot...
