      Format WingtraOne SD card

      This article contains step by step instructions on how to format the SD card.

      The WingtraOne SD cards can be formatted using the camera, the tablet, or a computer. Formatting will delete all data on the SD card, therefore make sure to save all data you require on another device. We highly recommend to format the camera SD cards regularly (e.g. every 10 flights). To ensure smooth data acquisition, ensure the used SD cards fulfill the requirements. (WingtraOne compatible SD cards)

      In case formatting the SD card fails, check out the troubleshooting section.
