UAV battery packs

Aircraft pack brief

Prepare aircraft identification for the aircraft pack brief review. Identify the aircraft and its current configuration rather than using an application name alone. Attach the relevant aircraft owner requirements, and ask the supplier to identify the proposed battery configuration and documents used to address the aircraft specific enquiry. Ask which aircraft requirement should define the battery pack enquiry?

Request or submit battery compartment drawing, according to the proposed purchase scope. Mark the available installation envelope and the interfaces surrounding the battery location. Request the proposed pack drawing for the exact configuration, and include connector, cable exit and access questions in the same fit review before the buyer accepts a sample configuration.

Pack electrical documents

Prepare aircraft power requirements for the pack electrical documents review. Submit the aircraft owner electrical requirement and identify the relevant aircraft configuration. Ask which proposed battery version is being reviewed against that requirement, and request written clarification of each unresolved electrical question before the buyer accepts the sample document package. Ask which electrical details should be confirmed for the proposed pack?

Request or submit pack specification request, according to the proposed purchase scope. Identify the exact item or version about which information is requested. Ask for the specification associated with the proposed configuration, and compare its identification with the quotation and other requested documents before referring any inconsistency to the supplier for written clarification.

Pack mechanical interfaces

Prepare mounting records for the pack mechanical interfaces review. Describe the information being requested and identify the equipment concerned. Request the corresponding technical document for the proposed item, and ask which specific parts of the buyer requirement are addressed so the response can be compared with the intended purchase scope. Ask which installation details should accompany a pack comparison?

Request or submit connector photographs, according to the proposed purchase scope. Provide clear photographs and any connector or terminal reference already held by the buyer. Request an interface drawing identifying the mating arrangement, and ask for the proposed connection details to be checked against the aircraft or instrument documents submitted with the enquiry.

Pack purchase scope

Prepare pack identification for the pack purchase scope review. Identify the exact item or version about which information is requested. Ask for the specification associated with the proposed configuration, and compare its identification with the quotation and other requested documents before referring any inconsistency to the supplier for written clarification. Ask which supplied items should be clarified before requesting a quotation?

Request or submit accessory requirements, according to the proposed purchase scope. Describe the access restrictions and the intended inspection or maintenance task. Attach available layout photographs or drawings, and ask the supplier what information is needed to review the proposed equipment against the buyer access requirement before the work scope is discussed.
