Mechanical Strength and Stability

In plain language

Inspect the drone before flight to ensure there are no structural cracks or deformations that could cause a mechanical failure in the air.

Requirement as structured

A class C2 UAS must have the mechanical strength and stability to withstand flight stresses without breakage or deformation that interferes with safe flight.

Original regulatory text
