Pre-flight
Vehicle Mode
Attitude Mode allows you to disable the visual and GPS navigation systems. Designed to be flown by expert pilots,
in GPS-denied environments, or where there is the potential for jamming, Attitude Mode oers a pure manual flight
experience. You have direct stick control of the aircraft’s throttle, yaw rate, pitch and roll angles, rather than relying
on automatic altitude and position stabilization. All autonomous functions, such as Return to Home and Obstacle
Avoidance, are disabled.
WARNING: accidents resulting from an Attitude Mode flight are not covered under warranty and may result in injury
or property damage. Attitude Mode should only be used by Expert Pilots. Please fly cautiously and conservatively as
the Skydio safety features are disabled. Do not hand launch or hand land.

Step 8 - Launch
Step 1 - Fly to a clear, level, and safe landing area

blades resulting in a free fall.
