2.1.8 Preparation and Serviceability of Equipment and SUA
All components of the UAS will be recorded on a component log that will show when it was
last replaced/installed and when it is due to be replaced. (See Service & Maintenance Logs
& Battery Logs in Appendix B).
Maintenance, when required, will be performed by The Maintenance Manager and any
updates to the UAS firmware or components will be installed by The Maintenance Manager.
Every engine will be checked before every flight by twisting to ensure it is airworthy.
Every battery will be numbered and a log kept detailing:
v Battery number
v Flight Duration
v A record of the number of times each battery has been charged.
v Notes
This will ensure all batteries are maintained safely and are charged appropriately for flight.
Any batteries left for over 7 days without being used will be drained fully and re-charged
before use.
Before and after every flight the PIC will do a full flight inspection of the UAS.
