MGL iEFIS flight data log — export & score every landing

1) The black-box is already recording

An MGL iEFIS keeps a rolling black-box on the SD card in the front of the unit — the last hour or two of flying, written automatically. For a normal flight there’s nothing to arm and no menu to open: just fly, and the recording is waiting on the card when you shut down.

1. Make sure an SD card is in the front slot before you fly — the recording goes to that card.
2. Fly normally. The unit captures the whole flight on its own.

To keep more than the rolling window — a long cross-country, or a second parallel recording — you pre-create a recording file on the card from the unit’s own menus. For the day-to-day case you don’t need it — the black-box has the landing.

2) Pull the front SD card

After shutdown, eject the SD card from the slot at the bottom-right of the bezel. The whole flight is already on it as a binary recording — one of:

1. iEFIS.REC on newer “Explorer” units, or IEFISBB.DAT on older Enigma black-box units. You may see one or the other; grab whichever is there.
2. That file is the recording — the unit doesn’t write a .csv. Upload it as-is; landing.fyi reads the binary directly.

Lost the card? A 32 GB SD card is plenty — leave it in the front slot and it captures every flight. If a card won’t read, format it to FAT32.

3) Upload the recording

Read the card and grab the recording file off it — iEFIS.REC or IEFISBB.DAT. Uploading it raw is the cleanest path: landing.fyi decodes the binary directly, no converter, and the numbers come straight off the unit.

Grab iEFIS.REC or IEFISBB.DAT recording from the SD card and upload it — landing.fyi scores every landing in it.
