UAS Maintenance, Modification, Repair, Inspeciton, Training, and Certificaiton
The FAA already knows how to certify maintenance procedures and train maintenance professionals for manned aircraft, but UAS are different. Kansas State is leading a team with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and Montana State University to test current industry UAS practices against current manned aircraft safety regulations. The team will be providing the FAA various reports with recommendations on maintenance simulation training, ASI Training, Gap Analysis of 14 CFR 145 Repair Station Criteria, UAS Accidents/Incidents Data Recording. The FAA will use this research to help set UAS maintenance standards and training certification to ensure UAS are kept safe to fly.
