Skydio X2D Return Behaviors
It is important that you set the return behaviors and lost connection
behavior before launch, in the event that you encounter any RF interference.
For best results set return behaviors pre-flight. Identify a clear, level surface where you want your X2D to land. Skydio X2D will retain its current obstacle
avoidance setting while returning.
Set the Return Behaviors:
Step 1 - Select the
Device settings menu
Step 2 - Select the Drone tab
Step 3 - Select Return Behavior
Step 4 - Select Return Type to set navigation:
• set to VISION for GPS/RF jammed
environments for flights during daylight hours
Step 5 - Select Return Height
• set to 30 meters
• X2D needs to be close enough to the ground
for good visual navigation
Step 6 - Select Return Behavior
• set to RELATIVE for alternating terrain
Step 7 - Select Drone Looks while flying to the
return destination
• set to AWAY from Return to track enemy
behavior on the return trip
Step 8 - set the return speed
• set return speed to 10 m/s
Step 9 - Select Lost Connection to choose how
your want X2D to behave if the signal to your
controlling device is lost:
• toggle ON Return when Disconnected
• set Wait Before Return to 5 seconds - a low
loiter time means X2D is moving so that it is
not an easy target
• toggle ON Land Once Returned
• set Wait Before Land to 135 seconds
