❓ What should be included in my drone maintenance schedule?

Establish a regular maintenance schedule following these intervals:

• Before each flight: Basic inspection and battery check
• Monthly: Thorough cleaning and calibration
• Quarterly: Firmware updates and component checks
• Annually: Professional inspection or service

Keep a maintenance log to track repairs and replacements. The EASA drone guidelines recommend regular maintenance checks for safe operation. For commercial operators, maintenance schedules may need to be more frequent based on usage patterns.
