# Flight Reporting
|
|
|
|
PX4 logs detailed aircraft state and sensor data, which can be used to analyze performance issues.
|
|
This topic explains how you can download and analyse logs, and share them with the development team for review.
|
|
|
|
:::tip
|
|
Keeping flight logs is a legal requirement in some jurisdictions.

|
## Downloading Logs from the Flight Controller
|
|
|
|
Logs can be downloaded using [QGroundControl](http://qgroundcontrol.com/): **[Analyze View > Log Download](https://docs.qgroundcontrol.com/master/en/qgc-user-guide/analyze_view/log_download.html)**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
::: tip
|
|
Encrypted logs cannot be downloaded with QGroundControl, or uploaded to the public Flight Review service.
|
|
The easiest way to download and extract encrypted logs is to use the [Log Encryption Tools](../dev_log/log_encryption.md).
|
|
You can also host a [private Flight Review server](../dev_log/log_encryption.md#flight-review-encrypted-logs) that automatically decrypts logs on upload using your private key.
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Analyzing the Logs
|
|
|
|
Upload the log file to the online [Flight Review](http://logs.px4.io) tool.
|
|
After upload you'll be emailed a link to the analysis page for the log.
|
|
|
|
[Log Analysis using Flight Review](../log/flight_review.md) explains how to interpret the plots, and can help you to verify/reject the causes of common problems: excessive vibration, poor PID tuning, saturated controllers, imbalanced vehicles, GPS noise, etc.
|
|
|
|
::: info
|
|
There are many other great tools for visualising and analysing PX4 Logs.
|
|
For more information see: [Flight Analysis](../dev_log/flight_log_analysis.md).

|
|
If you have a constant high-rate MAVLink connection to the vehicle (not just a telemetry link) then you can use _QGroundControl_ to automatically upload logs directly to _Flight Review_.
|
|
For more information see [Settings > MAVLink Settings > MAVLink 2 Logging (PX4 only)](https://docs.qgroundcontrol.com/master/en/qgc-user-guide/settings_view/mavlink.html#logging).

|
## Sharing the Log Files for Review by PX4 Developers
|
|
|
|
The [Flight Review](http://logs.px4.io) log file link can be shared for discussion in the [support forums](../contribute/support.md#forums-and-chat) or a [Github issue](../index.md#reporting-bugs-issues).
|
|
|
|
## Log Configuration
|
|
|
|
The logging system is configured by default to collect sensible logs for use with [Flight Review](http://logs.px4.io).
|
|
|
|
Logging may further be configured using the [SD Logging](../advanced_config/parameter_reference.md#sd-logging) parameters or with a file on the SD card.
|
|
Details on configuration can be found in the [logging configuration documentation](../dev_log/logging.md#configuration).
