DJI Pilot 2 is the flight software used by most DJI drones. The controller and drone will record log files for each flight that contain a wealth of information regarding telemetry, speed, battery info, electronics, and more.
In some cases, retrieving this information is useful so we can share it with DJI and let them know exactly what occurred during a flight, especially in the event of a crash. To extract the flight records, follow the steps below.
As of 2025, it is no longer possible to upload log files directly to DJI in the Pilot 2 app. Log files now need to be downloaded and shared manually with DJI.
Extracting Flight Records on DJI Pilot 2
1. Open DJI Pilot 2 and tap the Normal button in the top right corner to enter the Health Management System (It may also say Caution or Warning instead).
2. Tap Manage Logs.

4. Tap to select the logs you would like to download and tap Next.
5. Tap to the right of any relevant logs to select them, then tap Save to Aircraft / RC.

10. Tap the Hamburger menu.
11. Tap to select the microSD card.
12. Tap Move to transfer the files to the microSD card.
13. Remove the microSD card, insert it into your computer, and copy the files over to share with Propeller or DJI support.
