I thought is was a totally paid for service. Thanks for posting this.

It looks like it's free for 6 months and 100 flights.

Airdata is well worth the small monthly fee. Less than seven bucks a month to log one thousand flights per year.

Just checked Airdata's pricing, says "Free Forever" and 100 Active Flights. You can delete files you don't need. If you don't want to loose the data, save the original .txt file on your PC, or DL the CSV file.

If I get really serious about flying my drone I would definitely consider a paid plan

You are absolutely right. The free version itself provides all the necessary info required to analyse a flight.
A good addition would be the Attitude indicator which is available in Phantom Flight Log Viewer.
Hope they add that soon.

It does give you altitude data. Maybe the free version is not as detailed as the paid version. I don't know. I never used the free version. I saw the in-depth data on a friend's account and went straight to paid.

He is requesting data for aTTitude, not aLTitude.

Easy to confuse them -- especially if your eyes are getting weak like mine

Edited my comment and saved the need (+ cost) for an eye check-up.

Sorry - you are correct about being free! Going to give it a try

I just signed up for the free account just to see what it was all about and dang, I am impressed with how easy it was to sign up and have Airdata sync with the flight logs on my iPad to my new Airdata account. Then the amount of information available far exceeds what my DJI Go 4 app produces. I don't fly as much as a lot of you but I still may consider paying for the service in the future. Thanks for posting this.

Not sure why it didn't work for you. Has worked for me in the past.

Just synced my flight records with my free AirData account. WOW - I'm really impressed.
Thanks shegeek72 for pointing this site out.

I got myself one of those free accounts a while ago and connected it to litchi. I can see all my flights when I am using that but is there a way to connect dji go to air data

McCloudSpark · Feb 3, 2019

Yes, under the UPLOADS tab you can manually or automatically sync with the GO4 app.

stuartforrest · Feb 3, 2019

Thanks for this tip. I had no idea you could do that. Its awesome. Got all my flights uploaded.

Thanks

How would you use this info to diagnose flyaways and disconnects

nilanjan118 · Feb 28, 2019

Hello to all the Airdata users here. I have noticed that the battery temperature data is never logged in any of my flights or batteries. Would like to know if it is the same with everyone or am I missing something here?
