Part 107 does not require maintenance by a certificated mechanic, but before each flight the remote pilot must

• A.log every flight hour with the FAA in DroneZone within 10 days, in the same manner as an accident report.
• B.obtain a complete 100-hour inspection at an FAA repair station before the aircraft is returned to service.
• C.ensure the aircraft is in a condition for safe operation, following manufacturer guidance when available.

Why

The remote pilot carries the duty to confirm the aircraft is safe to operate, using the manufacturer's instructions as guidance. Part 107 imposes no repair-station inspection cycle and no per-flight hour logging with the FAA.
