Post-Flight Inspection of Dangerous Goods Packages

In plain language

After landing, you must inspect dangerous goods packages for leaks or damage. If any leaks are found, you must inspect the drone's payload area and clean up any contamination.

Requirement as structured

Packages or overpacks containing dangerous goods must be inspected for signs of damage or leakage upon unloading, and if damage is found, the stowage area on the aircraft must be inspected and any contamination removed.

Original regulatory text

"A current list of contacts indicating whom should be notified if either event occurs, should be maintained." According to the Technical Instructions "packages or overpacks containing dangerous goods must be inspected for signs of damage or leakage upon unloading from the aircraft or unit load device. If evidence of damage or leakage is found, the position where the dangerous goods or unit load device was stowed on the aircraft must be inspected for damage or contamination and any hazardous contamination removed." The UAS operator should incorporate inspection into its normal procedures (or if transport of dangerous goods is not the main part of the business, as procedure peculiar to a single operation).
