Telemetry Recording
Continuous Telemetry Recording captures all real-time MQTT telemetry received during a flight session and stores it for later analysis, export, and Flight Story playback.
Overview
Telemetry Recording starts automatically when an aircraft begins transmitting and stops when the session ends. The recorded data is linked to the flight record and accessible from the Analytics and Flight Story views.
What Is Recorded
Every telemetry message received via MQTT is stored, including:
| Data Type | Fields |
|---|---|
| Position | Latitude, longitude, altitude (relative and absolute) |
| Orientation | Roll, pitch, yaw, heading |
| Velocity | Horizontal speed, vertical speed |
| Battery | Voltage, percentage, remaining capacity |
| Signal | RC link quality, video link quality |
| Gimbal | Pitch, roll, yaw of the camera gimbal |
| Flight mode | Current mode (hover, mission, manual, etc.) |
Screenshots and detail coming soon.
Recording Resolution
Telemetry is recorded at the rate it is received from the aircraft, which varies by model. Typical rates are between 1 Hz and 10 Hz. The exact rate is shown in the flight record metadata.
Accessing Recorded Telemetry
Recorded telemetry is available in two places:
- Flight Story — Replay the flight visually on the map with telemetry scrubbing
- Analytics > Telemetry Table — View raw time-series data and export as CSV
See Flight Story and Analytics for details.
Telemetry Export
- Open the flight record in Analytics.
- Click Export > Telemetry CSV.
- Select the data fields to include.
- Download the file.
The export is a timestamped CSV with one row per telemetry snapshot.
