Skydio X2 behaves after initiating a return.
• Drone Looks - Skydio X2 will either look toward or
away from the return destination while returning.
• Return Type (AEF Only) - Unique to the Autonomy
Enterprise Foundation, this setting tells the drone to
return using GPS or the drone’s vision system. Set
your return type to Vision when you fly in GPS-denied
environments. X2 will retain its obstacle avoidance
setting when returning with Vision or GPS. For more
information about Skydio X2’s return behavior, see the
Returning section on page 58.
• Wait Before Return - Set how long Skydio X2 should wait
after it loses communication before it returns to the launch
point (or Home Point if one was set). This wait time gives
X2 time to try to re-establish a connection to the controller.
When the drone and controller are still connected and you
command a return, X2 will return immediately without
waiting.
• Return Height - Set the height to which Skydio X2 should
ascend before returning. By default the return height is
set to 66 ft/20m, meaning Skydio X2 will ascend to that
height before returning.
• Height Behavior - When set to Absolute, the drone will
ascend to the specified Return Height (above the launch
point) before returning. When set to Relative, Skydio X2 will
ascend by the specified Return Height above the current
position before returning. Skydio X2’s default Height Behavior
is set to Relative. See the Returning section on page 58 for
more information.
• Return Speed - Set the speed at which Skydio X2
should fly when returning.
Reference the Returning section on page 58 for more
information.

narrower band. The narrow band will allow you to fly further
away without losing connection, however video quality may
suffer slightly.
NOTE: You should only enable the narrow band to extend
control range when in open and clear environments and when
