SECTION 8 HANDLING, SERVICING and MAINTENANCE
INTRODUCTION
This section contains factory recommended procedures for proper ground handling and routine
care and servicing of the Intel
®
Falcon™ 8+ UAS. It also identifies certain inspection and
maintenance requirements which must be followed if the aircraft is to maintain an airworthy
state. The intended audience for this section of the Aircraft Flight Manual is the Remote Pilot,
not a mechanic or technician.
IDENTIFICATION PLATE
All correspondence regarding the aircraft should include the Serial Number. The Serial Number,
(Model Number) can be found on the Identification Plate, located on the rear of the Central Unit.

FALCON™ 8+ UAS OWNER ADVISORIES
Intel Product Advisories are posted on the internet and available at no charge to inform owners
about mandatory and/or beneficial aircraft service requirements and product changes. Copies
of the service bulletins are available from Intel approved Depot Stations and Intel Customer
Service.
FLIGHT LOGS
The Intel
®
Falcon™ 8+ UAS is constantly logging all flight controller data onto three different
storage devices:
 USB stick inserted in the back of the Intel
®
Falcon™ 8+ UAS.
 SD card inserted in the back of the Intel
®
Falcon™ 8+ UAS (User SD card).
 Internal SD card, which can only be accessed by opening the canopy of the central unit
(Internal SD card).
The data logged onto the different devices may differ. In support cases, operators should supply
logs from both the USB stick and the User SD card. In rare occasions, data may also be requested
from the Internal SD card. In such a case, the Depot Station will provide detailed instructions on
how to access the Internal SD card.
The file structure on all storage devices is identical. Logs are always stored in a directory called
ASCTEC. Every time the Intel
®
Falcon™ 8+ UAS is switched on, a new directory with a subsequent
number will be created inside the ASCTEC directory. Files always have the same creation date
and time, but if available, GPS time will be stored in the log making it easy to identify a specific
log.
