Flying Safely
• Your Skydio drone only avoids obstacles that are not in motion.
• Cars, boats, people, animals, drones, crewed aircra, or other
moving objects may not be avoided.
• In the event that your X10 collides with an object, it will attempt to stabilize
and continue flying.
• Keep your fingers away from the propellers anytime they are spinning such
as during launch, flight, and landing.
• Skydio X10 can’t see certain visually challenging obstacles. Do not fly
around thin branches, telephone or power lines, ropes, netting, wires, chain
link fencing, or other objects less than 0.5 inch (1.3 centimeters) in diameter.
This type of crash is not covered under the Skydio Limited Warranty.
• Do not intentionally try to crash Skydio X10.
• The chassis of Skydio X10 may become hot to the touch in high-
temperature environments or direct sunlight, even when powered o. The
metal frame may also become hot if powered on while on the ground for
long periods of time. Handle with extreme caution and care.
• Do not fly over bodies of water if Skydio X10 indicates a GPS quality
warning.
• Exercise extreme caution and care when the sun is low on the horizon as
it can temporarily blind the Skydio X10 cameras depending on the angle of
flight. Your drone may be cautious or jerky when flying directly toward the
sun.
• Skydio X10 may provide an indication, such as displaying an alert to land, if
it encounters an issue or determines the environment is not safe for flying.
Fly to the nearest safe area and land immediately.
• Flying at high altitudes may significantly increase the time required to return
and safely land the Skydio X10. The pilot is solely responsible for managing
altitude, range and battery level at all times.
• Be sure to read/watch all flight tutorials and safety-related materials and pay
close attention to any in-app messages.
• Keep your hands on the controller joysticks to maintain control throughout
flight.
