Accessing/viewing the DJI Mini 3 pro’s FlightRecord.TXT files from within DJI RC controller is rather simple/quick. I am posting this info because I was seeing online solutions that were inefficient and some were transferring these TXT files to a microSD, etc...Yes some of you already know the following method but from what I am seeing some don’t. No need to power up nor connect to quadcopter, no requirement for microSD card in the TX.  I have been utilizing the short USB to USB C cable that came with the battery charging hub for TX charging.  I utilize this cable to connect the TX controller to my PC and the files become readily visible then you simply copy and paste to a directory of choice on your PC. Then you can utilize the Airdata website to decode/view your TXT files.  The following attached pics should be straight forward.

On a Windows OS system you will see a DJI RC directory appear as you connect to your PC, on my system it pops up near the top of the list and not as a typical USB connection. On my Linux OS it pops up in normal fashion but the wording APQ8053.... instead of DJI.  These Flight Record TXT files are readily visible without searching in both of these OS. However, on my MacBook nothing pops up in the Finder window.

Once you have simply copied and pasted those files ending with the TXT file extension to a directory of choice on your PC; you can then utilize the Airdata website to decode/view your TXT files (basic account is free).

Hi there. Thank you for reaching out. We appreciate you for sharing these steps on how to export the flight records on the DJI RC. When connecting the DJI RC to the computer, please use a USB cable (A to C) and you will see "MTP USB Device" appears on the PC. Double-click the "MTP USB Device" to open the internal shared storage inside the remote controller. The DJIFlightRecord documents are the flight records. The corresponding flight records ca be found, copied, and exported based on time. Thank you.

I have used the extracted data to import into my GIS software to overlay on any map and take measurements for planning purposes.

How exactly do you get the data into arcgis?is there a shape file set that is generated somehow? I have a Mavic 3.
