Where do I find my DJI Fly flight records to export?

In DJI Fly, go to Me (profile icon) → Flight Records. Tap the three-dot menu on any record to export a CSV or KML file. On Android the raw .TXT FlightRecord files are in Internal Storage/DJI/FlightRecord. On iOS they are inside the DJI Fly app sandbox — use the in-app export rather than the file system.

What file do I export from Autel Explorer?

In the Autel Sky app, open Flight Records and use the export or share option for each flight. The exported file is a CSV with per-second telemetry rows including a height(m) column, which UK Drone Map detects automatically.

Can I import multiple files at once?

Yes. When the file picker opens, select as many files as you want in one go — you can mix formats (DJI CSV, Autel CSV, KML, GPX, JSON) in a single batch and the importer will handle each one with the right parser.

Will importing the same file twice create duplicates?

No. The importer deduplicates by comparing date + aircraft + duration for each new entry against your existing logbook. Any entry that matches an existing log is skipped. You will see a count of how many were imported and how many were duplicates.

My CSV file didn't import correctly — what should I try?

Open the CSV in a text editor and check the header row. The importer tries over 50 column name aliases but needs at least a date column (called date, flight_date, start_time, datetime, etc.) to produce an entry. If your app uses unusual names, you can rename the headers in a text editor before importing. For DJI .TXT files, make sure you are using the FlightRecord .TXT and not the aircraft firmware log.

How do I back up my logbook after importing?

After confirming your import, tap "IMPORT & EXPORT BACKUP" instead of the plain import button — this imports and immediately triggers a Fleet Data export file you can save. You can also go to Fleet → Export at any time. The export is a plain-text file with all pilot details, drones and log entries.

How to Import Your Drone Flight Logs into UK Drone Map (Step-by-Step Guide)

A complete walkthrough for importing flight logs from DJI Fly, Autel Explorer, Skydio, Kittyhawk, KML, GPX and JSON — covering where to find the files on each app and exactly what to do in UK Drone Map.

This guide covers where to find your log files in each major drone app, and then exactly how to import them into UK Drone Map's free, privacy-first logbook. Everything runs in your browser — your files are never uploaded anywhere.

Step 1 — find your log files

Different apps store logs in different places. Here's where to look for each one:

DJI Fly (DJI Mini 2, Mini 3, Mini 4 Pro, Air 3, Mavic 3)

Two ways to get your files:

In-app export (recommended): Open DJI Fly → tap your profile icon → Flight Records. Tap the three-dot menu on any flight → Export. You can export as CSV (summary) or KML (track). On most devices you can share or save to Files from here.
Raw .TXT files (Android): Connect your phone, open Internal Storage → DJI → FlightRecord. Files named DJIFlightRecord_YYYY-MM-DD_[hash].txt are per-second telemetry CSVs with #-prefixed metadata headers. UK Drone Map strips these and reads the data rows automatically.

Tip: The raw .TXT files contain more data (precise GPS track, full telemetry) than the in-app summary CSV export. If you have them, import those for better location data.

DJI GO 4 (Phantom 4, Mavic Pro, Spark)

The raw FlightRecord .TXT files are in the same location (DJI/FlightRecord on Android). The in-app export CSV from GO 4 has the same format as Fly — both work.

Autel Explorer / Autel Sky (Autel EVO, Nano, Lite)

Open the Autel Sky app → Flight Records → tap any flight → Export or Share. The exported CSV contains per-second rows with a height(m) column, which UK Drone Map detects automatically and converts to feet. If your version doesn't have a per-flight export, try Export All from the main Records screen.

Skydio (Skydio 2, Skydio X2)

In the Skydio app, go to Flight Log → select a flight → Export CSV. The file includes start_time, flight_duration_s and max_altitude_m columns, all of which UK Drone Map maps automatically with unit conversion.

Kittyhawk, Hover, FlightLogger

All three apps have a CSV export option in their logbook or flight history section. The column names vary but UK Drone Map's Generic CSV parser covers over 50 aliases — as long as your export includes a date column it will produce log entries. Export from the app's web dashboard for the most complete data.

DroneLogbook (JSON export)

In DroneLogbook, go to Logbook → Export → JSON. The exported file contains a flights array that UK Drone Map reads directly. Date, duration, altitude, aircraft and location fields are all mapped automatically.

Any app with KML or GPX export

Litchi, DroneDeploy, Map Pilot, Pix4D and most other flight planning apps can export KML or GPX track files. KML is preferred if available — it includes altitude data and, where present, TimeSpan elements with the exact date and duration of the flight.

Step 2 — open Fleet → Logs on UK Drone Map

Open ukdronemap.app, tap Fleet in the sidebar, then select Logs from the nav row at the top of the Fleet panel.

Step 3 — click Import and select your files

Tap the 📂 Import button. A file picker opens. Select one or more files — you can mix formats in a single selection. The picker accepts .csv, .txt, .kml, .gpx and .json files.

Step 4 — review the preview

After parsing, UK Drone Map shows you a preview list of every flight found — date, aircraft, location, duration, max altitude and battery. Nothing has been saved yet. Check the entries look correct before confirming. If a file failed to parse (wrong format or empty) you'll see an error card in the preview.

Step 5 — confirm the import

Hit "IMPORT N FLIGHTS". The importer deduplicates — any new entry whose date + aircraft + duration matches an existing log is skipped. You'll see a summary: how many were imported and how many were duplicates.

If you also want to download a backup immediately, use "IMPORT & EXPORT BACKUP" instead — this imports and immediately triggers a Fleet Data export file.

UK Drone Map analytics showing total hours, monthly chart and per-aircraft breakdown after log import

After import: what the Analytics tab shows

Switch to the Analytics tab to see everything computed from your imported flights:

Total flights and hours — lifetime totals with a 12-month activity chart
Per-aircraft breakdown — hours, flight count and approximate battery cycles per drone
Maintenance alerts — props check at 50 h, full service at 100 h, battery replacement warning at 100–150 cycles
Licence expiry warnings — A2 CofC, GVC and insurance dates with countdown
