Preflight
• Skydio X10D 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 X10D 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 X10D 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.
