Question 4
Domain 1: FAA Part 107 OperationsWhat maintenance records are required under Part 107 for sUAS?
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Part 107 does not require a formal maintenance log for small unmanned aircraft systems. The rule focuses on safe operation and airworthiness, so keeping records of “significant repairs and modifications” is a good practice, but not a regulatory requirement.
Why each option is right or wrong
A. Detailed logs of every flight hour
B. No specific maintenance records are required, but good practice suggests keeping records of significant repairs and modifications
14 CFR Part 107 contains no provision that mandates a formal maintenance log, inspection book, or recurring recordkeeping schedule for a small unmanned aircraft system. The operator’s legal duty is to ensure the aircraft is in a condition for safe operation under 14 CFR §107.15 and §107.49, but the regulations do not specify any required maintenance-record format, retention period, or filing requirement for routine upkeep.
C. Annual inspection reports like manned aircraft
D. Only records of crashes
