If Skydio X10 loses GPS signal, the drone will continue flying using the vision system.
Actions that require GPS will be disabled.
If visual navigation is also unavailable (e.g., high elevation missions), the drone
will initiate an emergency landing, with optional pilot-assistance available if the
controller is connected.
EXAMPLE: If Skydio X10 loses GPS signal while flying in GPS Only flight mode
(e.g., flying at night without NightSense) it will initiate a pilot-assisted emergency
landing.
Contingency Behaviors
Lost GPS
CAUTION: GPS Only flight mode does not support obstacle
avoidance.

If you would like to fly at night with obstacle avoidance
enabled, scan the QR Code to read more about NightSense.
If Skydio X10 enters an unexpected state from which it cannot recover, it will
automatically initiate an emergency landing (with optional pilot-assistance available
if the controller is connected). An alert notification will display in Flight Deck if the
controller is connected.
• Skydio X10 will use navigation cameras and GPS to descend vertically
• If these are not available, the drone will quickly descend using only the
barometer which may result in lateral dri
If the unexpected state has been resolved, Skydio X10 will stop the emergency
landing and you will regain control.
