Note: The Intel Falcon 8+ UAV is able to fly without any active logging device. It is the
responsibility of the user to make sure that all flights can be properly logged if it is a
legal requirement in the country where the system is used.
Neither the USB stick, nor the User SD card will be deleted or formatted by the flight
system. We recommend to regularly make back up copies of these storage devices and
reformat them afterwards. Especially when working on complex projects, during which
the logs are needed for geo-referencing, it is helpful to start with clean storage media.
