Introduction to the Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Maintenance Report

The UAS Maintenance Actions Monthly Report is the means for the UAS Integration Office and
other Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) offices with the responsibility of safely integrating
UAS into the National Airspace System (NAS) to gather summary UAS corrective maintenance
data. The data is correlated to operational flight data and accident/incident/occurrence/anomaly
data to identify trends related to UAS durability and reliability. The data will assist with setting
performance standards and informing future rulemaking.
The form also complies with Part 107 waivers that include a requirement to submit a monthly
report of equipment degradations, malfunctions, or failures to the Administrator at [email protected]. Upon submission of this form, the UAS Integration Office generates
the output report required by the Flight Standards Office.
Under 14 CFR Part 135.415, Part 135 operators must submit Service Difficulty Reports (FAA
Form 8070-1). Participants in the Partnership for Safety Program (PSP) and BEYOND program
operating under Part 135 submit Service Difficulty Reports in lieu of this UAS Maintenance
Report.
