Using flight records in AirData and Dronelogbook

This article explains how to import WingtraOne flight records and get select information overviews and reports from fleet management platforms, such as AirData and Dronelogbook.

WingtraOne operations can be tracked using the flight records that are stored in the SD card together with the images and GNSS data.  AirData and Dronelogbook support these flight records.

The flight records are stored in the WingtraPilotProjects folder, under the individual project folder. The project folder contains 3 folders: DATA, FLIGHT RECORD, and IMAGES.

The flight records are also downloaded together with the WingtraOne flight logs, as it is described in the article Access flight logs

3. Current limitations

  • Currently, in cases where no images were taken during the flight, there is no project folder and consequently, no flight record kept on the SD card
  • Flight records for GEN I MicaSense cameras are currently not stored on the camera SD card
  • In both of the above cases, the flight records can be downloaded together with flight logs by initiating the log transfer through WingtraPilot (flight logs page)
