The name of the invention is lighting system inspection using an unmanned aerial vehicle. A method includes obtaining, at an unmanned aerial vehicle, a flight plan for the unmanned aerial vehicle. The flight plan is based on an aircraft type of the aircraft to be inspected. The method further includes coordinating activation of a particular exterior light of the aircraft with a lighting control device onboard the aircraft based on the flight plan such that the particular exterior light is activated or deactivated when a particular sensor of the one or more sensors is positioned (i.e. Positioned and oriented) to perform a sensing operation on the particular exterior light. The method also includes performing a sensing operation on a particular exterior lamp using a particular sensor. The method also includes determining a function metric associated with the particular exterior light based on the sensing operation.

    本发明的名称是使用无人驾驶空中飞行器的照明系统检查。一种方法包括在无人驾驶空中飞行器处获得无人驾驶空中飞行器的飞行计划。该飞行计划基于待检查飞机的飞机类型。该方法还包括基于飞行计划与飞机上的照明控制设备协调飞机的特定的外部灯的启用,使得当一个或多个传感器中的特定的传感器被安置(即被定位和取向)以对特定的外部灯执行感测操作时,特定的外部灯启用或停用。该方法还包括使用特定的传感器对特定的外部灯执行感测操作。该方法还包括基于感测操作确定与特定的外部灯相关联的功能度量。
