A\nsignificant proportion of these accidents are associated with human error. If\nUAVs are to be permitted to operate in the National Airspace System, it will\nbe necessary to understand the human factors associated with these vehicles.\nUnlike conventional aircraft maintenance, UAV operators must ensure the\nreliability of an entire system that comprises the vehicle, the ground\nstation, and communication equipment. At present, there have been no published\nstudies of the human factor issues relevant to UAV maintenance. Twenty-two\nstructured interviews were conducted with personnel experienced in the\noperation of small- to medium-sized UAVs. Information was gathered on critical\nUAV maintenance tasks including tasks unique to UAV operations, and the\nfacilities and personnel involved in maintenance. The issues identified were\ngrouped into three categories: hardware; software\/documentation; and personnel\nissues. Hardware issues included the frequent assembly and disassembly of\nsystems, and a lack of information on component failure patterns that would\nenable maintenance personnel to plan maintenance effectively.\nSoftware\/documentation issues included the need to maintain computer systems,\nand difficulties associated with absent or poor maintenance documentation.\nPersonnel issues included the influence of the remote controlled aircraft\nculture and the skill requirements for maintenance personnel.
