Flight
Step 1 - Ensure you have clearance above and in front of you
Step 2 - Hold the drone away from you (sensor package facing away from your body)
• Lightly grip the battery
• Keep the drone level, still, and at arm’s length from your body
• Your fingers should be below the Skydio X10D chassis and away from the propellers at all
times
• Ensure your hand steady
Step 3 - Launch
Press and hold the Launch Button on the X10D Controller. Slowly relax your grip as Skydio X10D
launches.
• Do not push or throw the drone up in the air
• Keep your hand still - the drone will slide o your palm and take flight on its own
Launching and landing Skydio X10D from your hand is a quick and convenient way to start
or end your flight, particularly if you are not in a clear, level area. For your safety, always use
caution when hand launching. This maneuver is dangerous and should not be attempted in
unstable environments, such as during high winds or while standing on a moving vehicle or
boat.
Hand Launching
WARNING: Obstacle avoidance is disabled when the drone is below 10 (3 m)
during landing. Exercise extreme care to avoid injury or damage. Do not touch
spinning propellers.
!
TIP: Quick Launch allows you to use the battery power button to hand launch
your Skydio X10D so that you do not have to balance the controller in one hand
and your drone in the other. Press the battery button four times to initiate the
launch.
