Standard Guide for Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Maintenance Technician Qualification

Standard Guide for Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Maintenance Technician Qualification

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 This guide is intended to be used to assess competencies of qualified individuals who wish to become certified as a UAS Technician through a certification program.  
4.2 This guide is intended to be used in concert with a certification provider’s structure and materials for management, exam delivery, and candidate preparation.  
4.3 This guide is intended to be used in conjunction with any civil aviation authority’s (CAA’s) guidance or regulations.  
4.4 In this guide, a classification system is used based on the equipage of the entire UAS. The purpose of this classification system is to train technicians on the knowledge necessary to maintain the UAS based on the equipage of the entire system. UAS Technicians are commonly responsible for maintaining not just the unmanned aircraft itself, but the control station, data links, and peripheral equipment (off-aircraft equipment) as well. As the level of complexity increases, so must the UAS Technician’s scope of knowledge. This classification system is presented in Table 1.  
4.5 Full system classification relies on the highest classification of the individual components of the system.  
4.6 This classification model is used as a guide for typical systems of a UAS, not a definitive list.  
4.7 For technicians who maintain more than a single model of UAS, a class qualification is recommended (Tables 2-4).
SCOPE
1.1 The purpose of this guide is to address the fundamental subject knowledge, task performance, and task knowledge activities and functions for unmanned aircraft system professionals to be titled unmanned aircraft system technician.  
1.2 Technician qualifications include:  
1.2.1 Type ratings on specific systems or families of systems can draw appropriate technical content from this guide, as needed, to be applicable to specific models;  
1.2.2 The minimum knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform maintenance on Class 1 UAS;  
1.2.3 The minimum knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform maintenance on Class 2 UAS; and  
1.2.4 The minimum knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform maintenance on Class 3 UAS.  
1.3 Units—The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.  
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

INTRODUCTION
This guide outlines the subject, performance, and task knowledge requirements for the repair and
maintenance of UAS. Using ASTM F2909, Standard Specification for Continued Airworthiness of
Lightweight Unmanned Aircraft Systems, as a basis for the types of activities required to maintain
UAS, it was decided that the most efficient and comprehensive approach was to determine the
knowledge,skills,andabilities(KSAs)atechnicianwouldrequiretoreliablyandconsistentlyperform
these tasks outlined in this new guide.
The guide was written and organized to facilitate UAS manufacturers, operators, and educators to
develop curricula for technician training that spans the spectrum of UAS, ranging from very basic
multi-rotor platforms to complex aircraft integrated into the global airspace. The aircraft types
addressed have been grouped into three classes of aircraft based on the level of complexity. To
determinethelevelofinstructionrequiredtotraintechniciansonmaintenancetasksforagivenaircraft
type, one simply identifies the appropriate class of aircraft and refers to the KSArequirements for that
class of UAS.
Great effort was taken to ensure that this guide is global in nature. While UAS regulations,
standards,andotherreferencedocumentsfromaroundtheworldwereevaluatedforrelevancy,specific
mention of those documents’ oversight requirements were not included in this guide.

ASTM D5141-23(Test Method)
Standard Test Method for Determining Filtering Efficiency and Flow Rate of the Filtration Component of a Sediment Retention Device

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 This test method is used to determine the filtering efficiency and flow rate of the filtration component of a sediment retention device, such as a silt fence, a silt barrier, or a silt curtain, for specific soil tested.  
5.2 This test method may be used for the design of the filtration component of a sediment retention device to meet requirements of regulatory agencies in filtering efficiency or flow rate for the specific soil tested.  
5.2.1 The designer can use this test method to determine the spacing between sediment retention devices.  
5.3 This test method is intended for performance evaluation, as the results will depend on the specific soil evaluated. Unless testing with the default soil is desired, it is recommended that the user or representative perform the test to pre-approve products, as sediment retention device manufacturers are not typically equipped to handle or test soil requirements.  
5.4 This test method provides a means of evaluating the filtration component of sediment retention devices with different soils under various conditions that simulate the conditions that exist in a sediment retention device installation. This test method may be used to simulate several storm events on the same sediment retention device specimen. Therefore, the number of times this test is repeated per specimen is dependent upon the user and the site conditions.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method is used to determine the filtering efficiency and the flow rate of the filtration component of a sediment retention device, such as a silt fence, silt barrier, or inlet protector.  
1.1.1 The results are shown as a percentage for filtering efficiency and cubic metres per square metre per minute (m3/m2/min) or gallons per square foot per minute (gal/ft2/min) for flow rate.  
1.1.2 The filtering efficiency indicates the percent of sediment removed from sediment-laden water.  
1.1.3 The flow rate is the average rate of passage of the sediment-laden water through the filtration component of a sediment retention device.  
1.2 This test method requires several specialized pieces of equipment, such as an integrated water sampler and an analytical balance, or a vacuum filtration system. At the client’s discretion, the test soil is either a site-specific soil or a soil that is representative of a target default gradation.  
1.3 The values stated in SI units are the standard, while the inch-pound units are provided for information. The values expressed in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other, without combining values in any way.  
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
