In this work, we analyzed motion and sensor concepts to investigate highly automated pre-flight check methods for vehicles in unmanned urban air mobility. This can be done in two steps. First a holistic scan of the drone with a camera with two ring lights for the illumination. Then a more specific inspection of the parts where failures detected by the camera with white light interferometry.
