SOP 7 gives the procedures for observers at the end of each survey day to download and backup data and prepare (e.g., recharge) survey equipment for the following survey day. It also includes instructions for some minor editing of the data that may be required due to field iPad error or other complications in flight that may have affected the data collected.
