Learn the necessary steps for optimizing your PPK workflow after flying your mission.

Process #

1. First, power off the DJI Phantom 4 Pro.
   1. It is advised to check the data on the thumb drive plugged into the Geodrive before powering off the base station.
2. Pull the thumb drive out and make sure a new .SBP files was written on the thumb drive.
   1. File sizes will vary from flight to flight and can be used to verify newly collected data (i.e. the more data collected during the mission the larger the file size)
   2. Every time the aircraft powers on, a new .SBP file is created. Make sure to keep track of how many times you have cycled the powered on the aircraft to keep data organized.
   3. The .SBP file should have the correct present date. For example, if you did a flight 4-4-2021, then your .SBP file should also be marked with the same date.
3. Power off the base station and check to make sure a .SBP file was created on the USB thumb drive of the base station.
4. Use the BAAM.Tech PPK software to check the data in the field if extra confirmations are needed.
