Flight Details
Click on any flight in the flight list to open its detail page. Here you can view and edit the flight information, import telemetry data, and visualize the GPS track along with instrument readings if available. The layout adapts depending on whether telemetry data has been imported.
Page header
At the top of the page, you'll see:
- ← Back to Flight Logs button — Returns to the flight list with your active filters intact
- Title — "Flight Details - [UAV Name]"
- Previous / Next navigation — Arrow buttons to move between flights, with a counter showing "[index] / [total]". These buttons respect your filter state, so you only navigate within your filtered results.
Status banners
At the top of the content area, you may see:
- Success banner (green) — Appears after you save changes or import telemetry. Dismissible with an × button.
- Error banner (red) — Appears if an operation fails (e.g., invalid telemetry file). Dismissible with an × button.
- Loading spinner (blue) — Appears while GPS data is being imported. Wait for this to complete before navigating away.
Flight Information card
This card always appears and displays the core flight details. It has two modes: view mode and edit mode.
View mode
All fields are displayed read-only with their values:
- Departure: Place and time (with location and clock icons)
- Landing: Place and time (with location and clock icons)
- General: Date (calendar icon), duration
- Additional info: UAV name, light conditions (Day/Night), operations type (VLOS/BLOS), pilot type (PIC/Dual/Instruction), takeoff and landing counts
- Comments: Only shown if non-empty (message icon)
Two buttons appear at the top-right of the card:
- Import Telemetry button — Only visible if no GPS data exists. Opens a hidden file picker to select a CSV file (max 10 MB). See GPS Track & Map for format details.
- Edit button — Opens the form to modify flight information
Edit mode
All fields become editable form inputs:
- Departure Place, Landing Place, Date, Departure Time, Landing Time
- Flight Duration (seconds) — can be manually adjusted
- Light Conditions (Day/Night dropdown)
- OPS Conditions (VLOS/BLOS dropdown)
- Pilot Type (PIC/Dual/Instruction dropdown)
- Takeoffs and Landings (number inputs)
- Comments (textarea)
Two buttons replace the "Edit" button:
- Save button (green, save icon) — Saves all changes and returns to view mode
- Cancel button (red, × icon) — Discards edits and returns to view mode
Layout with GPS data
When telemetry has been imported, the page displays a multi-row layout in addition to the Flight Information card:
Row 1: Flight Instruments & GPS Track
- Flight Instruments panel (1/3 width, left) — Component: Digital HUD. Shows a collapsible accordion with live animated values: pitch, roll, heading, airspeed, groundspeed, altitude, vertical speed, battery voltage & %, GPS status (3D Fix / 2D Fix / No Fix), satellite count, GPS time, link quality, turn rate, flight mode, armed state. Updates in sync with GPS playback position.
- GPS Track & Map panel (2/3 width, right) — Component: Flight Map. Shows the aircraft's GPS path on a map with departure and landing markers. Below the map, a "Track Color By" dropdown lets you change the color encoding of the track. See GPS Track & Map for color modes. A "Delete GPS Track" button (red) lets you remove all telemetry data.
Row 2: Stick Controls & Animation Controls
- Stick Controls panel (1/3 width, left) — Component: Control Sticks. Shows visual joystick renderings for throttle/yaw (left stick) and elevator/aileron (right stick). Values are normalized from raw telemetry ranges. Collapsible accordion.
- Animation Controls panel (2/3 width, right) — Component: GPS Animation Controls. Play/Pause, Reset, position scrubber (slider), speed multiplier, and "Real time" playback option. Displays the current timestamp. Collapsible accordion. See Animation Controls & Statistics for details.
Row 3: Telemetry (full width)
- Telemetry Panel — Component: Telemetry Indicators. Shows live telemetry values at the current animation frame: receiver battery (V), current (A), capacity (mAh), RX link quality (%), TX link quality (%), TX power (mW), satellites. Below a horizontal divider the current GPS position, speed, altitude and vertical speed are listed on a single line – visually matching the Flight Information card. Collapsible accordion.
Row 4: Flight Statistics (full width)
- Statistics tile grid — Eight stat tiles showing min–max ranges for the entire GPS dataset: Altitude, Speed, Vertical Speed, Satellites, Battery, RX Quality, TX Quality, TX Power
Panel collapsing: The Flight Instruments, Control Sticks, Animation Controls, Telemetry, and Statistics panels are all accordion-style and can be collapsed to focus on one aspect of the flight. Your collapse/expand state is not persisted, so they reset to their default state when you reload the page.
Layout without GPS data
If no telemetry has been imported, only the Flight Information card is displayed. You can still view and edit the basic flight record. Click the "Import Telemetry" button to add GPS data and unlock the full visualization suite.
Navigation between flights
Use the Previous (←) and Next (→) buttons at the top of the page to move between flights. The counter shows your position in the filtered result set. If you have filters active in the flight list, these buttons only navigate within your filtered flights, allowing you to review all matches for a given query.
Tips
- Edit information: Always review your flight record before saving edits. The system validates required fields and shows errors if anything is missing.
- Import telemetry promptly: Import GPS data soon after the flight while the file is fresh and accessible. It's easier to troubleshoot format issues right away.
- Delete GPS data: If you need to re-import telemetry (e.g., you have a corrected file), first delete the existing GPS track, then import the new one. You can only have one GPS dataset per flight.
- Filter-aware navigation: The Previous/Next buttons respect your active filters, so you can quickly review all flights matching specific criteria.
