Prescribed inspection statement (from the order — use verbatim or similarly worded)

I certify that this UAS was inspected on (date), in accordance with the scope and detail of the maintenance and inspection program, and was determined to be in a condition for safe operation.
Preparation support, not an FAA determination. The determination and record entry are made by the operator or authorized person; the FAA prescribes the final limitations on the FAA Form 8130-7.

AWCReady decides limitation A-34 for you — from the aircraft, the operation, and the 8130.34D risk index.

Not every sample limitation goes on every UAS or OPA. AWCReady scores the risk, gates each limitation to the operation and certification basis, asks only the questions that matter in plain language, and assembles a review-ready package.
