Can I get the flight plan from the LOG?

Hello!

I need to get the detailed flight plan from the LOG (all the waypoints with the details). I can see in the Log viewer see the flight plan in the Map, but how can I get that as a file to load it again in to another drone?

Thanks!

It’s not in the Log file. Connect to MP and from the Plan Screen “Read” and then “Save to File”.

Actually, it may be accessible from within the log (at a minimum, if the mission was actually executed). Open the log with MavExplorer and use the command line interface to run:

dump cmd

You may have to make the console window very wide to see all of the output, but it’s there.

You may also have to interpret a bit, especially if the mission was executed multiple times, restarted, or cut short.

Thanks, I know that, but the log is from 1 year ago, so the drone doesn’t have the FP anymore.

Thanks, I will try it!

The “Create KML+GPX” option in Mission Planner creates a waypoint text file as well. Has all the details and can be loaded into Mission Planner too.
