P3A fell out of sky... can someone look at data and explain???

Can everybody hold off the battery issue until the data is presented? There's not much of an issue taking off with a battery that's partially used if you're just going to land again straight away.
Let's see the evidence before the diagnosis is made.

The diagnosis was made long ago. It was a CSC crash. The battery discussion is just an offshoot.

See this post.

Yes, it was pilot error. See my link above.

While I am sure the OP was not happy with your findings, you were able to find out exactly what happened. While everyone else in this thread was making assumptions, you just brought us the facts and will make all of us better pilots as a result. Thanks.

I converted it but now its a cvs file and its not showing I can upload to kind...

The CVS will open in Microsoft Excel if you have not tried that already.

One more comment on battery strength when flying - there is a 'Smart' return to home feature. This feature calculates distance and battery strength, and gives warnings. So on one flight I was a mile out and had 53% battery strength, but still got the low battery warning.

I know this problem was solved with the data file and a CSC engine stop, but, unless you are just taking off a second time to demonstrate for bystanders, always slap in a fresh battery for a flight. The investment is too great to risk your bird.

And if you don't happen to have MS Excel, you can open it using Dashware. You can also open it with a text editor although it won't have formatting.
