Flight
INFO: Skydio may recognize bushes, trees, and similar obstacles as potential surfaces. Pilot the drone to an open
area free of obstacles before initiating a landing. If a flight is initiated by taking o from a case (or a case is placed
at Skydio X2 exact take o point), GPS positional accuracy cannot be relied upon to guarantee a case landing when
using the Return to Home function (or in the case of a Return To Home triggered by lost communication).
Step 1 - Descend to 15 ft (4.6 m)
Step 2 - Select and hold Land
• Skydio X2 will descend
• below 10 ft (3 m) obstacle avoidance will be disabled for the remainder of the landing
• during landing you may nudge the drone forward, backward, left, or right
• yaw control is disabled during landing
• cancel the landing by increasing altitude or selecting Cancel Landing
Land
Use the case for a landing pad to avoid disturbing dirt and debris:
Step 1 - Position the drone about 10 ft (3 m) above the case
Step 2 - Tilt the camera down so the case and Skydio logo are clearly in view
Step 3 - Select and hold Land
• a yellow ring will circle the Skydio logo
• if you do not see the yellow ring, cancel the landing and try again
Case landing
INFO: Skydio X2 may identify bushes, trees, and similar obstacles as potential surfaces. Pilot the drone to an open
area free of obstacles before initiating a landing. If a flight is initiated by taking o from a case (or a case is placed
at exact launch point), GPS positional accuracy cannot be relied upon to guarantee a case landing when using the
Return to Home function (or in the case of a Return To Home triggered by lost communication).
CAUTION: Piloting or nudging the vehicle during a case landing will cancel the case landing and continue with a
normal landing. Be careful not to accidentally touch the controller joysticks while X2 is performing a case landing.
When you are ready to land your drone, stop any subject tracking or autonomous actions and manually fly the drone
to a stable landing spot that is clear of debris and people.
