Answer:

The remote pilot-in-command (Remote PIC) is responsible for determining that the unmanned aircraft (UA) is safe for flight during the preflight inspection. The Remote PIC must conduct a preflight inspection of the UA to ensure that all systems are functioning properly, the UA is in airworthy condition, and that it is safe to operate. The preflight inspection should include checking the communication link between the UA and the ground control station, inspecting the airframe, control surfaces, landing gear, and checking the battery levels and other systems. If any issues are found, the Remote PIC must take corrective action or cancel the flight if necessary.
