You have just updated the aircraft firmware and control application. What should you do before conducting a normal operation?
- A.Fly the planned mission immediately to confirm the update worked
- B.Assume all previous settings were retained exactly as before
- C.Verify the update was successful and check key settings and functions before flying the mission
Correct answer
C. Verify the update was successful and check key settings and functions before flying the mission
Why
Updates can change settings, calibrations, or behavior. Verifying the installation and confirming settings and basic functions first reduces the chance of an unexpected response during a real operation.
