# Flight Plan Export

Flight Plan Export enables the full power of DJI's flight app and the convenience of FieldAgent's intelligent flight planning.

{% hint style="info" %}
[KMZ](/fieldagent-mobile-ios/data-schemas/flight-plans.md#kmz) files are only for drones with [Support for Flight Plan Export](/fieldagent-mobile-ios/requirements/dji-drones.md#support-for-flight-plan-export).
{% endhint %}

***

## Motivations

* I want to use FieldAgent mobile to generate a flight plan from my field or flight task, but my drone does not support autonomous missions from the app.
* I want to perform a mission with [RTK](/fieldagent-mobile-ios/requirements/dji-drones.md#rtk-support) enabled.

## Manual File Transfer

This section explains how to transfer a flight plan using an external device.

### Requirements

For manual file transfer, using an external device, you must have one of the following:

* A supported [SD Card Reader](/fieldagent-mobile-ios/requirements/sd-card-reader.md) and a compatible [SD Card](/fieldagent-mobile-ios/requirements/sd-cards.md).
* An external drive or thumb drive that can connect to both the RC and iOS Device.

### Steps

From the [Flight Planning](/fieldagent-mobile-ios/60-second-guides/fly-a-field-boundary.md) screen:

1. Connect an SD card reader with an SD card inserted into your Apple device.
2. Tap on the Menu button at the top left.
3. Tap on the Export menu item.
4. Select a format to name the export file.
5. Tap the Next button.
6. Tap Allow Access to grant permissions to the app.
7. Select your SD Card on the left side.
8. Top the Open button to grant permissions.

Your KMZ file will now be on the SD card and can be copied to the drone's RC. Once copied, you can import the KMZ file inside DJI Pilot 2.

## Wireless Flight Plan Transfer

This section explains how to transfer a flight plan using Flight Sync and a hotspot connection.

### Requirements

Review the guide found [here](/fieldagent-mobile-ios/app-guide/wireless-flight-plan-transfer.md) to install and configure Flight Sync.

### Steps

From the [Flight Planning](/fieldagent-mobile-ios/60-second-guides/fly-a-field-boundary.md) screen:

1. Tap on the Menu button at the top left.
2. Tap on the Export menu item.
3. Select a format to name the export file.
4. Tap the Next button.
5. Tap Select Device.
6. When an RC is available, tap Send Flight Plan.

The RC will display a notification when the transfer is complete to indicate it received the flight plan.

{% hint style="success" %}
Both the FieldAgent Mobile and Flight Sync have a 5 digit device ID which displays. This ID can be used to verify that you are seing the correct devices on both your iOS device and RC.
{% endhint %}

The flight plan will be copied to a directory based on how the device is configure. The directory it is copied to depends on the flight app installed. Here is the priority order for which directory is choosen.

1. /IGC Daily/Missions
2. /IGC/Missions
3. /Download
