Every flight tells a story: where the aircraft flew, how high it climbed, how fast it travelled, how the battery performed and where signal quality changed.
Move Beyond Manual Flight Records
Traditional flight logs record what happened. Telemetry shows how it happened.
By automatically capturing telemetry from supported flight controllers, FlybyOps provides a richer understanding of every mission.
Rather than recording only:
- Take-off
- Landing
- Flight duration
Teams get the whole flight, not three fields typed up at the end of the day. With Flight Sync on a connected DJI controller, the track is on the map while the aircraft is still flying, so an operations manager on another site can watch it.
Replay Every Mission
Every completed flight can be replayed on an interactive map.
Visualise:
- Complete GPS flight path
- Take-off location
- Landing location
- Flight timeline
- Waypoints
- Flight direction
- Hover locations
- Mission progression
Instead of reading rows of data, teams can watch operations unfold exactly as they happened.
This provides valuable context during project reviews, customer discussions and operational investigations.
Understand Flight Performance
Raw telemetry becomes meaningful when it's visualised.
FlybyOps helps organisations analyse operational performance using telemetry such as:
- Altitude
- Ground speed
- Flight duration
- Distance travelled
- Battery levels
- Signal quality
- Position history
- Time-based flight data
Rather than treating telemetry as engineering data, FlybyOps presents it in a way that supports operational decision-making.
Build Better Operational Intelligence
Telemetry isn't just useful after an incident. It improves everyday operations.
Operations managers can better understand:
- Mission efficiency
- Flight patterns
- Aircraft utilisation
- Battery performance
- Operational consistency
- Site-specific challenges
Over time, telemetry helps organisations optimise how missions are planned and executed.
Investigate Incidents with Confidence
When something unexpected happens, accurate information matters.
Instead of relying solely on witness accounts or pilot recollection, telemetry provides an objective record of the flight.
Investigators can review:
- Flight path
- Aircraft movement
- Timeline of events
- Battery performance
- Signal quality
- Linked operational records
Combined with Flight Logs, Risk Register entries and Incident Reports, telemetry provides valuable context that supports structured investigations.
Improve Pilot Training
Every flight provides a learning opportunity.
Flight replay enables instructors and operations managers to review missions with pilots and identify opportunities for improvement.
Training discussions become more objective by focusing on actual flight data rather than memory. Examples include:
- Route planning
- Flight efficiency
- Hover time
- Operational consistency
- Mission execution
- Decision making
This helps organisations develop stronger operational standards across their teams.
Connect Telemetry to the Complete Operational Record
Telemetry becomes significantly more valuable when it isn't isolated.
Within FlybyOps, every telemetry record is connected directly to:
- Flight Plans
- Flight Logs
- Projects
- Jobs
- Equipment
- Weather
- Documents
- Risk Register
- Incidents
- Job Reviews
This creates one complete operational record from planning through post-flight review.
Support Audit and Compliance
Flight telemetry provides additional evidence that can support internal reviews, customer enquiries and operational investigations.
Instead of relying on screenshots from third-party flight applications, organisations retain telemetry alongside the operational records that describe the mission.
This improves traceability and strengthens confidence in the overall operational record.
Scale Across Enterprise Fleets
As organisations expand, manually reviewing flight records becomes increasingly difficult.
FlybyOps centralises telemetry across the fleet, allowing operations managers to review historical flights from multiple pilots, projects and locations without switching between different systems.
Every mission contributes to a growing operational dataset that supports continuous improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Does FlybyOps automatically capture telemetry?
- Yes, for DJI. Pair a DJI controller with Flight Sync and every flight flown while it's connected arrives in FlybyOps on its own. Pairing runs through DJI Pilot 2, takes roughly two minutes and is done once per controller. Flights from other DJI aircraft, or from a controller that isn't paired, can be uploaded from the DJI flight log. Telemetry and replay come from DJI flights, synced or uploaded. Flights from other manufacturers can be entered by hand, and support for more manufacturers is in progress. Flight Sync works with the M300 RTK, M350 RTK and M400, the M30 and M30T, the Mavic 3 Enterprise and Thermal, and the Matrice 4E and 4T.
- Can flights be replayed?
- Yes. Telemetry allows organisations to replay completed missions, visualise flight paths and review operational performance over time.
- What telemetry information is available?
- The GPS track, altitude, speed, battery, orientation, gimbal and signal quality, whether the flight came in through Flight Sync or a log upload. It sits on the same record as the project, the aircraft and any incident filed against that flight.
- How does telemetry improve investigations?
- Telemetry provides an objective record of aircraft movement and performance, helping investigators understand what occurred during a mission and supporting evidence-based reviews.
- Is telemetry linked to Flight Logs?
- Yes. Flight telemetry becomes part of the same operational record as Flight Logs, projects, equipment, documents and incident reports, creating a complete history of every mission.
