First and second signals respectively associated with first and second motors are obtained. First and second motor wear metric that respectively represent an amount of wear associated with the first and second motors are determined based at least in part on the first and second signals, respectively. It is determined whether at least one of the first or second motor wear metrics exceeds a failure threshold. The VTOL vehicle is automatically prevented from performing a vertical takeoff attempt if least one of the first or second motor wear metrics exceeds the failure threshold. The first and second rotors are respectively positioned at first and second angles relative to a horizontal plane, at least during a hovering mode of the VTOL vehicle. The first and second angles are different angles. The first and second motors are respectively associated with the first and second rotors.
