Part 107 Chapter 12 Flashcards

A preflight inspection ensures that the sUAS is in a condition safe for operation and can identify potential mechanical or system issues before flight.

The checklist should include inspecting propellers, motors, battery charge, frame, payload attachments, and communication systems.

Maintenance should follow the manufacturer’s recommended schedule and after any incident or when a component shows wear or malfunction.

The manufacturer’s schedule ensures that all components are regularly checked and replaced before they pose a safety risk, extending the life of the aircraft.

The Remote PIC is responsible for ensuring that the sUAS is properly maintained and that all maintenance is recorded and documented.

The flight should be delayed until the issue is resolved and the aircraft is deemed safe for operation.

A post-flight inspection involves checking for any damage to the aircraft, propellers, and sensors, as well as recording any issues encountered during the flight.

Maintenance and inspection records provide a history of the aircraft’s condition, help identify recurring issues, and ensure compliance with Part 107 regulations.

Batteries should be inspected for damage, charged according to manufacturer instructions, and stored in a safe, temperature-controlled environment to prevent overheating.

The component should be replaced according to the manufacturer’s guidelines before it fails and causes safety issues during flight.
