If Skydio X10D loses GPS signal, the drone will continue flying using the vision system. Actions
that require GPS will be disabled.
If visual navigation (VIO) is also unavailable, the drone will enter Attitude Mode, a mode of flying
that relies on the drone barometer to maintain altitude. By default, if there are no joystick inputs
for 5 seconds, the drone will begin emergency landing.

• Max ascent speed: 2 m/s
• Max ground speed: 12 m/s
Scenarios where the drone will have reduced battery performance include extreme cold,
extremely low battery level, overheating, and cell imbalance.
