The Preflight Nobody Does: Maintenance and Inspection for Part 107
Streams straight from the publisher. podnod never proxies or re-hosts episode audio.
Most drone pilots unbox their aircraft, charge the battery, and immediately start flying — and most drone pilots are skipping one of the most tested topics on the Part 107 knowledge exam. In this episode we break down small UAS maintenance and inspection procedures, covering the remote pilot in command’s responsibility for airworthiness before every single flight, what a proper preflight inspection actually includes, how to identify and document defects, when your aircraft must be grounded, why deviating from the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions is a bigger deal than you think, how to safely inspect and maintain your batteries, and what records the FAA expects you to keep. Your drone isn’t just a toy — treat it like the aircraft the FAA says it is. Grab the sticks. Class is in session.
