Fixed wing
IDF-DS Pixhawk Telemetry
Fixed-wing telemetry, state estimation and trajectory modelling
Thirteen native Pixhawk telemetry recordings with supporting lap exports, including checked pitot airspeed and differential-pressure CSV segments; raw logs and lap cuts are not independent mission totals.

This entry covers the thirteen verified native Pixhawk raw logs; the alternative SpeedyBee collection is outside the current sensor inventory.
The paper-wide 240-flight and 32-hour claims are unverified. Processed lap cuts must not be treated as independent missions.
The archive also has 120 grouped Pixhawk lap exports. Some ungrouped filenames reference log_1, whose native ULog is absent from this deposit.
SpeedyBee has 111 telemetry exports and 111 GPS sidecars: the telemetry file Lap068.csv is stored under processed/GPS beside Lap068_gps.csv.
Onboard learning labels share sensor inputs and are not independent GNSS-denied pose truth.
Camera and Pitot raw sensor inventories are not asserted here. Documentation flags uncalibrated Pitot for processed flights 117–120.
Exact chip identities, native sensor rates, full-log duration and a complete raw calibration release remain unverified.
Approximately 1 Hz in the checked processed segments for laps 001 and 117; the paper reports 10 Hz. Pitot coverage for other laps and the thirteen native logs is unverified. Laps 117–120 were recorded without a calibrated pitot tube; wind estimates may need offset correction.

- Notes
- Two distinct sensor_baro device IDs publish pressure measurements in all thirteen inspected native logs; do not substitute the paper hardware table for this released-file inventory.

- Pixhawk configuration magnetic sensors
- Count
- 2
- Notes
- Two distinct sensor_mag device IDs publish measurements in all thirteen inspected native logs. Raw logging is distinct from whether an estimator prioritizes a sensor.
