1st flight terminated about half distance

Heinz Seipel

Today I had my first dronelink flight with my Mavic Mini. I had planned a simple mission with a curved path containing 5 waypoints. The start was ok, but the drone was drifting to the right and the left from the planned path. About half distance the mission was terminated with an oral message which I did not understand.

I pushed the RTH button and brouhgt the Mini back safely.

Now I would like to understand the reason for the mission failure. There was no strong wind, at least not on the gound.

I could not find a flightlog from this flight, neither on my iphone nor on the Mini.  I would appreciate advice on options for analysing the flight and at least reading messages generated during the flight. Does dronelink store any information on flight, and if yes where?.

    Read this to understand the drifting.

    Read this on flight logs.

    Without more details on the error message or a screenshot / screen recording, it is hard to speculate on the cause of the issue. It is possible you reached the edge of a NFZ that was not unlocked. You may consider reading the many other threads on this forum about similar issues.

    Thank you Jim. In the meantime I found the dronelink folder on my iphone and a file from my flight on August 14. I uploaded this file in phantomhelp, but I got the message "no data available", which I do not understand, since the seize of the fil is 357 k.

    I would appreciate comments on how to analyse the content of this file (see link).

    As the note at the bottom of the second article states, DJI changed something in their latest log format that is now causing all the flight log interpreters to update their code to support it. You will have to contact the provider on a timeline.
