Hi everyone.
I crashed my drone today or rather it crashed itself...
After flying awhile I flew back to exchange the battery. After that I set off to 6m high and had to wait for GPS signal. Then, when GPS signal appeard I ascended another 10 meters and when I was just about flying to place I wanted to film drone started to fly sideway in different direction... I was powerless. It didn't react to remote control at all, just continued to fly it's own chosen direction and it did so quickly that I lost it from my sight after 4-5 seconds...
I found it after 30 minutes crashed on the edge of pavement without two propelers and with battery lying aside. I do not dare to power it back. I got already case number and it gonna be repared ( I hope).
My question is:
Is it possible to check fly data without powering drone ?
DJI GO showes just suden side flight and sudden stop but no reason obviously... so it is possible to find out more or I have to wait for respond of service ?
I attach some pictures just for those who curious of effects my adveture.

Have a look at Phantom help

If you upload your record there (there are instructions on the page how to do this)

And then post a link to the results here, some of the pilots here may be able to give a good idea of what the cause was.

You need to follow Aardvark suggestion and upload your DJIFlightRecord_2018-03-30_[16-46-27].txt and then post that link information here.

The information from your link was .txt and not a CSV file

You can also use Airdata UAV for uploading your .txt file

wow !
thanks. That is where it had happened. The drone was lying on the pavement on the end of red line. ( DJI GO showed last location about 10 meters before actual place) . Fortunately there was just a few children in the sand pit and no one was hurt. I tried to find propellers with a radius of 3 meters with no success. ( two propellers was missing - I think due to impact ? ). All in all -  I'm happy no one was hurt and I got drone back ( I really was thinking it had ended up in this pond on its way..)  
Unfortunately this log explain nothing about cause. From my point of view it looked like the drone decided to make suicide... I had no power to stop it...

This error NoGpsError(9) is something I have not seen before. You should post a new tread with that error in the name to get more responds to what went wrong. Your Mavic was in ATTI mode because of compass error.  As this tread has been moved as you can see in post #11 which prevent public from seeing this you wont get any respond from members who have not posted in this tread, that is why I advice you to post new tread.

Adams, just to clarify, you paid the shipping cost on your own right? Did you attach the case number in the parcel? If not, may I have the shipping label?

yes. I paid on my own and I attached case number inside the parcel. (printing of case number with description)
I did it because on the email with case number I got from DJI was  : shipping method: Ship by myself.
