REMOTE PILOT CONDUCTED PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
The preventive maintenance section specifies maintenance required to maintain airworthiness
of the UAS and specifies the items that the Remote Pilot may carry out without the assistance
of a repair service provider. The Remote Pilot is required to perform checks of the unmanned
aircraft prior to each flight to determine if it is in a condition for safe operation.
Unmanned Aircraft System maintenance includes scheduled and unscheduled overhaul, repair,
inspection, modification, replacement, and system software upgrades of the sUAS and its
components necessary for flight. Whenever possible, the operator should maintain the sUAS
and its components in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. This publication represents
an operator developed maintenance program that meets or exceeds the manufacturer’s
recommendations and requirements.
Maintenance activities are performed in order to ensure continued airworthiness and to comply
with applicable laws. Prior to each flight, the RPIC must determine if the UAS is in a condition
for safe operation and includes (but is not limited to) a visual or functional check of the following
items:
 UAS components;
 Airframe structure (including undercarriage);
 Registration markings, for proper display and legibility;
 Moveable control surface(s), including airframe attachment point(s);
 Propulsion system, including Motor(s) and Propeller(s);
 Avionics, including control link transceiver, communication/navigation equipment, and
antenna(s);
 Control link transceiver, communication/navigation data link transceiver, and
antenna(s);
 Control link correct functionality is established between the aircraft and the Control
System;
 Onboard navigation and communication data links;
 Any equipment, such as a camera, is securely attached;
 Spinning propellers for any imbalance or irregular operation.
