Safety - YUNEEC Typhoon H Plus Maintenance, Troubleshooting & Parts

It's important to note that while the FAA has not yet required a formal maintenance program for non-commercial UAS operators,
the notion that airworthiness and proper flight operation are the responsibility of the operator is very clearly articulated.
Specific requirements for ongoing inspections, maintenance, and repairs may not be required, there are many reasons why these
important pieces should be included in their operations. Safety and economic efficiency are two of the most important.
While the regulations and rules surrounding UAS operation are certain to change and adapt as the technology
advances, we can be sure that airworthiness and proper maintenance to maintain them and the logging of that
maintenance may become a vital part of any UAS use.
When performing any maintenance on an aircraft ensure the props and battery are removed.
If performing maintenance with props ON the aircraft the Battery MUST be removed.
INSPECTIONS
This guide provides the basics for inspections. It's important to remember that aircraft/equipment inspections are only a single
component of flight safety.
Logging
Logging maintenance is an industry best-practice and in some locations is required for regulatory compliance.
Batteries
Battery cycles should be logged in a log book. If multiple batteries are in use, identify each battery for logging purposes.
Batteries may fail due to overheating, being dropped, or any number of other causes. Any battery that has bulged or distorted
should be immediately disposed of to avoid impending failure that may lead to mid-air power loss or explosion. Self-contained
batteries may not be repaired.
Dispose of batteries by placing the battery in a salt water bath for 24 hours.
Deliver to a recycling center to dispose of them safely.
FIRMWARE
Always install the latest Firmware/software for the aircraft and related components.
Failure to update aircraft, ST16S Ground Control Station, and Camera system may result in flight error/failure for which
Yuneec cannot be held responsible. Visit www.yuneec.com for more information.
Update OTA (Over The Air) application will auto-update all firmware and software applications when properly performed.
