Preflight inspection checklist?
Battery, propellers, control links, firmware, airframe.
Maintenance log update frequency?
After every maintenance or anomaly.
Firmware update considerations?
Ensure stability, verify features work, check FAA compliance.
Signs of battery degradation?
Swelling, overheating, rapid voltage drop.
Recommended preflight check for RC control?
Check all sticks, switches, trim, and failsafe functions.
Preflight checklist for propellers?
Inspect for cracks, chips, or deformation; ensure proper mounting.
Preflight inspection for sensors.
Check calibration, cleanliness, and proper operation.
Effect of precipitation on UAS sensors.
Rain or snow can reduce visibility and affect sensors like LiDAR or cameras.
Importance of proper UAS weight and balance.
Ensures stability, maneuverability, and safe operation.
Define preflight inspection.
Systematic check of aircraft, controls, battery, sensors, and environment prior to flight.
Importance of following manufacturer’s load limits.
Prevents structural damage and maintains safe flight performance.
Best practice for logging maintenance.
Document all inspections, replacements, and repairs in an organized logbook.
Preflight check for GPS accuracy.
Confirm position hold works and compare GPS signal strength to manufacturer standards.
