Flight Log

Flight Log data can help you optimize the control link for your aircraft. Flight 

Log data is displayed on telemetry capable Spektrum transmitters.

Using the Flight Log 

A

 - Fades on main receiver.

B

 - Fades on remote receiver

- Not available on AR8020T

R

 - Not available on AR8020T

- Frame losses

H

 - Holds

Fades

Represents the loss of one bit of information on one receiver. Fades are 

used to evaluate the performance of each individual receiver. If any single 

receiver displays higher fade values it should be inspected and the antenna 

repositioned to optimize the RF link.

Frame Loss

A frame loss occurs when one complete data packet is missed. A single 

frame loss does not represent a loss of control, but frame losses should be 

monitored. In the air it's normal to experience as many as 100 frame losses 

per minute of flight. On the ground the number of frame losses will be higher 

because the signal is hampered by earth and moisture.

Hold

A Hold occurs when 45 consecutive frame losses occur. This takes about one 

second, and in this event the receiver moves the channel outputs to the failsafe 

settings. If a hold ever occurs, it’s important to re-evaluate the system and 

check every component. If your system displays a hold taking place, diagnose 

the cause and resolve the issue before flying again.
It is normal to see a hold logged if you power OFF your transmitter and back ON.

IMPORTANT: 

The Spektrum Flight Log (SPM9540) is not compatible with 

the AR8020T receiver.
