What battery charge check belongs in the preflight for the planned flight?
- A.Take off on any remaining charge because the return function uses a separate battery
- B.Confirm the pack has sufficient charge for the planned operation with a reasonable reserve, and that its reported condition is normal
- C.Check charge only after reaching the working altitude
Correct answer
B. Confirm the pack has sufficient charge for the planned operation with a reasonable reserve, and that its reported condition is normal
Why
Verifying charge and normal battery indications before takeoff ensures the aircraft can complete the flight and return with reserve. A pack reporting abnormal condition should be investigated rather than flown.
