FIELD MANUAL / 18
Maintenance
Service logs and wear-based health alerts for every piece of gear.
Gear dies from neglect, not crashes. The hanger tracks maintenance health so you service things before they fail in the air.
Maintenance logs
Every gear detail page has a maintenance log:
- Add an entry with a date, a short title (e.g. "Replaced props", "Gimbal lube") and notes.
- Entries keep the full service history of the item, which is useful when selling gear, too.
Health alerts
The hanger computes wear from actual usage:
| Signal | Example |
|---|---|
| Flight hours on an airframe | Props/motors due for inspection after hard weeks. |
| Packs cycled on a battery set | Rebalance or retire tired sets. |
| Crash counters | A spike in crashes says inspect before you fly. |
| Time since last service | Long gaps resurface as reminders. |
Items that need attention surface at the top of the hanger with a health badge, so a glance tells you what to service next.
Tip:
Bind gear to every session you fly. Health math runs on usage, and unbound sessions don't count.
Crash counters
Each drone carries a crash counter on its detail page. Log every crash. It feeds:
- Health alerts for that airframe
- Failure analytics in your squadron
- Cost per hour, including the parts you burn through
