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.
The User SD card will not 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.

Possible fix
Take out the User SD card, make a backup copy
and format it (file system: FAT32, allocation unit
size: 32 kilobytes). After reinserting the SD card
into the Intel Falcon 8+ UAV, it should again be
accessible.
If no backup copy is needed, the User SD card can
also be formatted directly by the UAV. To do so:
Push ENT to open the menu on the Status
1.
Display.
2. Push the arrow RIGHT button to navigate to

3. Push ENT and use the arrow RIGHT button
to navigate to

4. Push ENT to confirm. 
The shown screen appears:

5. Push ENT to confirm the formatting of the
User SD card. 
The process starts, a progress bar is shown.
Pushing ESC cancels the function and brings
you back to the Main Screen.
When the formatting of the SD card is finished, the
Intel Falcon 8+ UAV will immediately create a new
log file and start logging again.
Switch off the Intel Falcon 8+ UAV. Wait 10
seconds and switch it ON again. During boot up,
the internal SD card will be formatted and it should
again be accessible. If this does not help, contact
the Intel support team to get instructions on how
to proceed.
