Enable GPS Night Flight when planning to fly in low-light
conditions. When in this mode, Skydio X2 will use GPS
sensors, instead of its vision system, to navigate.
WARNING: Skydio X2’s GPS Night Flight mode requires flying without obstacle avoidance. Skydio X2 may drift slightly
when in GPS Night Flight mode; take extra caution when flying in this mode and do not stand near the vehicle.
NOTE: This mode requires calibrating the X2’s magnetometer prior to takeoff. The first time you toggle on GPS Night Flight, the app
will prompt you to calibrate the drone. Follow the onscreen instructions to calibrate X2, rotating the drone once on each axis. Once
calibrated, you may not need to calibrate the drone again for several weeks or even months, depending on the environment.
Calibration is not necessary when entering GPS Night Flight during a flight. Whenever a calibration is needed, you will be notified in
the app. If you are unable to switch out of GPS Night Flight, this may be because the conditions are not clear enough for Skydio X2’s
obstacle avoidance and vision system. Wait 10-20 seconds and if the issue persists, land the vehicle. See GPS Night Flight on page
70 for more information.
