Title: Identify elements of UAS.
Course: Unmanned Aircraft Systems, Advanced (20905 ii) > Section: Introducing Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS)

Identification should include the

- propulsion system (i.e., prop, motor, electronic speed control [ESC])
- flight control system (i.e., global positioning system [GPS]; real-time kinematic positioning [RTK]; electronic gyroscope inertial sensing; avoidance sensors; radio for controller, controller, or telemetry system)
- power system (i.e., batteries or fuel with control system)
- payload
- unmanned aerial vehicle (i.e., air frame).

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are the major subsystems of a UAS?
- Which considerations are most relevant to a remote pilot in command (PIC) when evaluating unmanned aircraft performance?
- How often is the PIC expected to inspect the condition and airworthiness of a UAS?
- Which preflight action is specifically required of the pilot for each flight?
