About

If the autopilot flight logs are needed there are several methods to access the logs.

SD Card Method

This method is the fastest for obtaining the autopilot logs. The tail of the aircraft is partially removed from the fuselage and the SD card is removed from the autopilot.

Remove The Tail, Locate SD Card, Remove SD Card

 

Copy Logs

Copy the logs from the SD card onto a computer.

Reinstall SD Card, Reattach Tail

 

Fly PHX Download Method

This method allows for downloading of the autopilot logs without removing the SD card. The caveat is that this process is very slow.
