ensure a safe flight.
!
• Inspect the chassis to ensure it is free of damage.
• Inspect drone arms and verify they are fully extended and free of damage.
• Inspect the battery and confirm it is securely seated prior to launching. Skydio X10D uses
magnets to seat the battery which may attract metallic debris. Ensure the connector pins
are free of debris or damage.
• Clean the camera lenses and time of flight sensor with a clean microfiber cloth. Cameras
should be dust and smudge-free before flight.
• Fan out the propellers and inspect to verify they are firmly attached and properly seated
in the motors and spin freely. Propellers should be free of cracks or damage. Do NOT fly
with damaged propellers.
• Inspect the sensor package before powering on and ensure it moves freely and is not
damaged, and remove the Sensor Package Lock before flying.
• Ensure all USB-C and microSD card seals are secured over the ports.
• Check your surroundings before launching to ensure a safe environment for flight.
• Point the controller cover/antennas toward the drone for maximum wireless
performance.
