Environment
• Skydio X10D is IP55 rated providing protection from limited dust ingress and light to
moderate precipitation conditions; it is recommended to not fly in heavy dust conditions or
heavy precipitation.
• The Skydio X10D Controller is IP54 rated providing protection from limited dust ingress
and light precipitation conditions; it is recommended to not be used in heavy dust
conditions or moderate to heavy precipitation.
• Flight in icy conditions is not supported and may result in the loss of your drone.
• Ensure the flight environment has good initial visibility and will have good visibility
throughout the duration of the flight.
• Do not hand launch or hand land during windy days, when Low Light flight is enabled,
when flying at night, or extreme environmental conditions as serious injury and/or damage
may occur.
• Fly cautiously over bodies of water as low relative-altitude flight may degrade or impair
autonomous flight performance. Before flying over bodies of water, ensure your drone has
a strong GPS signal. Fly at least 10 (3 m) above the surface of the water.
• Failure to acquire strong GPS prior to flight over water may result in erratic flight and/
or emergency landing and total loss of the drone.
• Launch and land over dry surfaces. Use extreme caution and care when launching or
landing from moving vessels.
• Skydio X10D requires good visibility to retain its obstacle avoidance capabilities. Obstacle
avoidance can also be impaired when in low light (without NightSense) and poor visibility.
Fly with extreme caution and care under these conditions.
• Skydio does not recommend flying the X10D under the following conditions which can
result in serious injury and/or damage including total loss of the drone:
• Gusts at or above 28 mph (45 km/h)
• Temperatures less than -4°F (-20°C) or more than 113°F (45°C)
• The Skydio X10D battery features self-warming technology. When flying in temperatures
below 32°F (0°C), prewarm batteries before launching. Battery endurance may be
degraded when operating near temperature limits below -4°F (-20°C) and above 113°F
(45°C).
