My drone has crashed. I am using a Quad X configuration. Could you please help identify the cause? I have attached the flight log for your reference.crashed log file
Did you follow the wiki documentation when configuring the drone?
It is relatively normal for the drone to crash when you do not follow instructions.
There is exactly nothing in the logs or parameters that suggests following any instructions, other than maybe chaotically applying prop-size-based defaults suggested by Mission Planner. Maybe even the motor assignment or rotation is completely wrong - and then they attempt to lift off in PosHold.

Yes I followed
The motor direction and propeller direction are correct, as I performed a motor test before takeoff
Try reviewing the instructions again, and use only stabalize or AltHold mode until you configured the notch filters, MagFit and PIDs. Only after that can you use something other than stabalize or AltHold
When you follow instructions correctly the drone will not crash.

I will read it again. Can you please confirm if this is the correct link: Setting the Aircraft Up for Tuning — Copter documentation
You will have to do everything under “First Time Setup” and “First Flight and Tuning”.
But @amilcarlucas has made a software called Ardupilot Methodic Configurator GitHub - ArduPilot/MethodicConfigurator: A clear ArduPilot configuration sequence · GitHub. Use this instead. It will open up necessary documentation webpages for you to read so ensure you do read all of them.

@KATKAM_SHIVASAI if there is something unclear, ask here.
also please tell your hardware.
Using some specific parts can cause this exact behaviour, and recheck all calibrations and other settings as suggested by others. It seems that your configuration is messed up, so you should just reset to default and use AMC, and don’t skip any step.
Also use loiter instead of poshold after doing all configuring as suggested by @amilcarlucas:
Try reviewing the instructions again, and use only stabalize or AltHold mode until you configured the notch filters, MagFit and PIDs. Only after that can you use something other than stabalize or AltHold
Do not use Loiter, not PosHold until after the MagFit step!
edited the post to prevent confusion, hope its fine.

@Ishitbh He does not need to tell the hardware, if he uses AMC in “normal” GUI complexity mode.
Then @KATKAM_SHIVASAI can enter hardware components (including URLs) in AMC and if he has a problem and wants help from the forum, he can just press the button “Zip files for forum help” and AMC will automatically create a small .zip file with all that information that he can post on the forum.
And we, the forum users/operators, get that information without needing to ask @KATKAM_SHIVASAI about it.
Everybody wins.

wow, thats really useful
I just asked to ensure that he isnt using any from the Hardware to avoid list
