Skydio X10 - Operator Manual © 2023 Skydio, Inc. All rights reserved.
Environment
• Skydio X10 is IP55 rated providing protection from limited dust ingress and
light to moderate precipitation conditions; it is recommended to not fly in
heavy dust conditions or heavy precipitation.
• The Skydio X10 Controller is IP54 rated providing protection from limited
dust ingress and light precipitation conditions; it is recommended to not be
used in heavy dust conditions or moderate to heavy precipitation.
• Flight in icy conditions is not supported and may result in the loss of your
drone.
• Ensure the flight environment has good initial visibility and will have good
visibility throughout the duration of the flight.
• Do not hand launch or hand land during windy days, when GPS Only flight
is enabled, when flying at night, or extreme environmental conditions as
serious injury and/or damage may occur.
• Fly cautiously over bodies of water as low relative-altitude flight may
degrade or impair autonomous flight performance. Before flying over bodies
of water, ensure your drone has a strong GPS signal. Fly at least 10 (3 m)
above the surface of the water.
• Failure to acquire strong GPS prior to flight over water may result in
erratic flight and/or emergency landing and total loss of the drone.
• Launch and land over dry surfaces. Use extreme caution and care when
launching or landing from moving vessels.
• Skydio X10 requires good visibility to retain its obstacle avoidance
capabilities. Obstacle avoidance is o during GPS Flight mode and can also
be impaired when in low light and poor visibility. Fly with extreme caution
and care under these conditions.
• Skydio does not recommend flying the X10 under the following conditions
which can result in serious injury and/or damage including total loss of the
drone:
• Gusts at or above 28 mph (45 km/h)
• Temperatures less than -4°F (-20°C) or more than 113°F (45°C)
• The Skydio X10 battery features self-warming technology. When flying in
temperatures below 32°F (0°C), prewarm batteries before launching. Battery
endurance may be degraded when operating near temperature limits below
-4°F (-20°C) and above 113°F (45°C).
