• In preparation for landing, stop active autonomous Flight Skills and fly to a clear and stable
area. Avoid areas with people, animals, and moving objects. Try to avoid areas with lots of
fine pebbles, sand, rocks, or similar materials.
• The lights on X10D will turn yellow as the drone descends below 10 (3 m) indicating
that obstacle avoidance is disabled.
• WARNING: Do not attempt to hand catch Skydio X10D before obstacle avoidance is
disabled automatically during landing. Attempting to hand catch Skydio X10D while
obstacle avoidance is still active will cause it to attempt to avoid your hand and may
result in Skydio X10D impacting yourself or another nearby object, resulting in serious
injury and/or damage.
• While Skydio X10D is landing you may nudge the drone forward, backward, le, or
right using the Skydio X10D Controller joysticks.
• Always monitor Skydio X10D during landing and be prepared to use the “nudge”
feature or cancel the landing if Skydio X10D is landing in an undesirable location. Use
extreme caution and care when landing on elevated platforms, such as the roof of
a car or truck, as the Skydio X10D may move laterally to avoid the platform before
descending to the 10 (3 m) threshold.
