DJI will soon delete all flight logs in the US

Per this update from DJI Support, DJI plans to disable the flight log download feature from DJI Fly in mid October and DJI Pilot on November 7th. While they don't mention other DJI apps, you should probably expect that feature to be disabled in those other apps during that same timeframe.

Messages with similar wording have recently been popping up in apps like DJI Fly.

In addition, DJI mentioned they will delete all data stored in the DJI Cloud. If you have important flight logs stored in the DJI Cloud, now is a good time to back them up to a local location (like your computer).

Here are a few options to back up your flight logs:

1. Manually retrieve your flight logs. Use the download feature in DJI Fly (or your DJI app) to download all flight logs from the DJI Cloud to your mobile device. And then follow these instructions to manually copy the flight logs from your mobile device to a local location (like your computer).
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. Automatically retrieve your flight logs. Install Flight Reader (not free) on a Windows computer to automatically download all flight logs from the DJI Cloud using the built-in flight sync feature. Just connect your DJI account and then download all flight logs with a single click.

Such a shame that it's come to this...

When I first got my Inspire 1 I used that feature a couple times. After a few flights I stopped using it. I just didn't like the idea of having every flight recorded and databased. I stopped connecting the Go App to the Internet. And a couple of my iPads never connect to the Internet.

100% compliance is impossible. On many occasions DJI got the NFZ's wrong. If they stop you from flying where it's safe and legal, how many times did the allow flight where it was illegal???

Discuss.

A lot of people use Flight Reader for that reason. It doesn't upload your flight log data to the Internet. It's all stored offline on the computer where Flight Reader is installed.
