Under what condition should the operator of a small UA establish scheduled maintenance protocol?
A. When the manufacturer does not provide a maintenance schedule.
B. UAS does not need a required maintenance schedule.
C. When the FAA requires you to, following an accident.
Answer: A. When the manufacturer does not provide a maintenance schedule.
FAA guidance (AC 107-2A) recommends following the manufacturer's maintenance schedule. If the manufacturer does not provide one, set up your own, so the aircraft is kept in the condition for safe operation that 14 CFR 107.15 requires.
