Looking for Real ArduPilot DataFlash (.BIN) Logs for Independent Flight-Log Research

Hi everyone,

I’m researching ways to make drone flight-log analysis more reliable, transparent, and verifiable across different platforms.

I’m looking for volunteers willing to share an original ArduPilot DataFlash .BIN flight log that they own or have permission to share.

Both normal flight logs and logs containing GPS/EKF warnings, unexpected flight-mode changes, or failsafe events would be helpful.

My aim is to study data integrity, log decoding, telemetry consistency, and the traceability of findings back to the original flight data.

I want to understand how flight-log evidence can be analysed systematically without making unsupported assumptions about the cause of an event.

Only logs shared with the owner’s permission will be used, and any sharing restrictions will be respected.

If you have a suitable log and are willing to contribute, please comment below or send me a message.

Thank you for helping advance reliable and evidence-based drone flight-log research!

There are lots of tools for doing this already:

I suggest you collaborate instead with some existing tool like AMC that is widely used and is translated into multiple languages. It is also cross platform windows, linux and macOS, and supports multiple vehicle types. Bin parser is robust and tested.
