Preflight
• Skydio X10 navigates visually using cameras so it is essential to keep all of
the cameras clean. Use the included microfiber cleaning cloth (or a similar
type of microfiber cloth) to ensure camera lenses are free of dust and dirt
before every flight.
• Ensure all propellers are firmly attached and free of nicks, cracks, or other
visible damage. Never fly with damaged propellers.
• Keep your fingers away from spinning propellers at all times.
• Ensure all 4 arms are fully deployed prior to initiating flight. Failure to do so
may result in unstable flight and/or a loss of control.
• Skydio X10 uses magnets to retain the battery which may attract metallic
debris that could interfere with the connection of the battery to the drone.
• Prior to installing the battery, inspect the battery connection pins
and the battery bay to ensure that they are undamaged and free of
debris.
• Verify the battery is fully seated in the drone prior to launching.
• Do not fly with any batteries with enclosures that are cracked, swollen,
gouged, dented, or otherwise substantially physically deformed.
• Safely handle and dispose of any batteries in accordance with all local laws
and regulations.
• Batteries should not be stored in extreme environmental conditions.
• Ensure the Skydio X10 Controller has adequate battery life remaining to
complete your intended flight.
• Ensure you have set your Return and Lost Connection behaviors before
flying.
• Remove the sensor package lock before flying.
• Inspect the chassis and entire drone for damage and debris prior to flight.
