# Preventative Maintenance Schedule

#### The Preventative Maintenance Schedule ensures the performance, reliability and longevity of your aircraft. By implementing the following maintenance schedule an operator can identify and address potential issues before they escalate.

## Recommended Maintenance Activities

* Before and after each flight conduct a visual inspection of the aircraft as described in the Section, [**Inspection Points**](/inspired-documentation/products/aircraft/if800-tomcat/aircraft-maintenance/inspection-points.md).
* At the 25 flight-hours mark, use an air can to dust out all motors free of debris and conduct a check of the batteries. 
  * Check the IB388 Batteries by referring to Section, [**Obtaining Battery Statistics via NFC**](/inspired-documentation/products/aircraft/if800-tomcat/if800-batteries/best-practices/obtaining-battery-statistics-via-nfc.md)**.**​
* At the 50 flight-hour mark, conduct a check of the motors. Check the motors by referring to Section, [**IF800 Tomcat Motors**](/inspired-documentation/products/aircraft/if800-tomcat/aircraft-maintenance/wear-items.md#if800-tomcat-motors).
