Garmin TXi flight data log — export & score every landing

1) Logging is automatic — confirm it, then export

The TXi display (GDU 700L / 700P / 1060) starts logging at power-up — there’s nothing to switch on. It holds about 100 hours of flight data and overwrites the oldest once full, so export soon after you land. Getting the data out is a one-tap Export on the Logs page:

1. Open the Logs page. On an MFD-configured display: from Home, tap System → Logs. On a PFD-configured display: tap the Menu key → System → Logs.
2. Tap Export Data Log. The key greys out and shows a percentage while it writes to the card.
3. Wait until the key is active again before you eject — pulling the card mid-export corrupts the file.

2) Insert your SD card and fly

1. Power the unit off first — never insert or remove a card in flight.
2. Use a full-size SD card (not microSD, not USB), 8 GB to 32 GB, formatted FAT32. If it won’t read, format it to FAT32.
3. Slide the card into the top slot (GDU 700P / 1060) or left slot (GDU 700L) — label toward the left edge of the screen on the 700P / 1060, or toward the top edge on the 700L — until the back edge sits flush with the bezel. Power on.
4. Fly — the log writes to the card automatically.

Need a card? A 32 GB SD card is in spec — anything 8 GB to 32 GB works. (Forgot the card? The flight stays in internal memory — insert a card after landing and export it.)

3) Offload and upload

1. Export, then power off and eject the card (press the exposed edge to release it).
2. Open the data_log folder — each power-cycle is its own file, named log_YYMMDD_HHMMSS_WPT.csv.
3. Grab every log_*.csv — one flight can span several files.

Upload at landing.fyi →

Grab every log_*.csv file from the SD card and upload them all at once — landing.fyi scores each flight and quietly ignores any duplicates, so it's safe to select the lot.
