How Playback Works
The 3D Flight Player provides a graphical representation of the telemetry data from your synced flight logs.
The drone’s flight path and field of view are projected onto a map, taking into account obstacles, terrain changes, camera gimbal pitch, etc.
Data Resolution
Telemetry data is shown below the player map at a resolution of once per 1 to 4 milliseconds, depending on available info in the flight log.
You can click the gear icon at the top right of the data table to edit what columns are visible.

Playback Settings
Playback can be augmented to highlight specific flight metrics.
The flight path is color-coded to reflect changes in key values such as Altitude, Battery Charge, and Distance from Home.
The flight path is color-coded to reflect changes in key values such as Altitude, Battery Charge, and Distance from Home.
Currently, the flight route can be configured to reflect the following data fields.
- Altitude from Ground at Takeoff
- Altitude from Ground at Drone Location
- Speed
- Battery Charge
- Distance from Home Point
- Radio Signal Strength
- Number of GPS Satellite Connections
- Terrain Type Beneath Drone

Terrain and Field of View
The drone’s field of view can be made visible by clicking the Camera POV button in the bottom left of the flight map.
This field of view takes into account the gimbal pitch, gimbal heading, and any obstacles that would obstruct the view of the drone’s camera.

Thank you for writing.
At this time, the 3D Flight Player does not provide a calculated value for the total area covered (such as hectares or square meters) in the terrain or field of view, nor is this data currently available for export.
I understand this would be a useful metric, so I’ve noted this as a feature request for our product team to review.
We appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback. Please feel free to reach out to us at support@airdata.com if you have any additional questions or suggestions.
Thank you for your time.
Kind regards,
